Information Carla D. would like to know about your pet

I love all types of dogs and animals in general. I have no breed or size preferences. Some things that would be good to share with me about your dog before I care for them are if they usually get along well with other dogs (on or off leash), if they're usually friendly when approached by strangers (in the home or in public), and if they have any behavioral issues like storm anxiety or food aggression. None of these issues would deter me from taking care of your pet, they would simply help be take better care of them. Also, please let me know if they have any favorite treats, toys or activites!

A typical day

In addition to providing basic care such as meals, administering medications, and bathroom breaks, I would love to walk them around your neighborhood, take them out in the yard or to a local park to play, or just cuddle on the couch if that's their favorite thing!

Pets

Lifelong pet owner and vet tech

Pet care experience

Growing up on a farm, I started taking care of dogs and a variety of other animals daily at a very young age. As I got older, my passion for animals led me to pursue a career as a veterinary technician, so I have extensive experience caring for animals with all kinds of special needs, injuries and illnesses, and administering their medications. I also am confident dealing with dogs with behavioral issues.

This is the third time I’ve booked Carla to watch my cats while we’re away. She does such a fantastic job and I absolutely trust her to take best care of them. She’s super communicative and I feel at ease knowing Alma, Tish, and Ziggy are in good hands.

We had such a great experience with Carla while we were away. This is the second time we’ve booked her. We have three cats, two who are very skittish and one who requires daily medication, and she handled all of their needs with so much care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was attentive, reliable, and gentle with them, especially given their different personalities and needs. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for cats. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.

As a first-time Rover user, I was a bit nervous leaving my three cats, but Carla was amazing! She has such an awesome personality and immediately made me (and my cats!) feel at ease. She took the time to make sure each of them felt comfortable around her, and I could tell they were in great hands. She kept me updated with messages and photos every day, which really put my mind at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience highly recommend Carla!

Carla has been doing drop in visits for my pups. She does a great job with the boys and she is very easy to work with.
