I’m the best fit for dogs that are comfortable being left alone for up to 8 hours or have access to a dog door. Outside of my work hours, your pet will receive my full attention, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of love and care. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away.

Information Carla D. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, and any special instructions. I also ask about medications, allergies, medical conditions, behavioral triggers, favorite activities, and emergency contact information. Understanding a pet's individual needs ahead of time helps me provide safe, consistent, and personalized care while keeping them comfortable and reducing stress when their owner is away.

A typical day

A typical day of pet sitting begins with feeding pets according to their schedule and making sure they have fresh water. I spend time taking dogs on walks, providing exercise, playtime, and companionship to keep them happy and engaged. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior, clean up after them, and administer any medications if needed. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. For overnight or extended care, I maintain their regular routines as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I provide updates and photos to owners so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.

Carla took great care of our dog, Norbert, and our home during a week-long vacation. She was responsive, communicative and very responsible. I would give her the highest possible recommendation, and she will absolutely be our first choice the next time we need someone to take care of Norbert.

Carla was absolutely wonderful with our kitty, Kiki! We were traveling last‑minute and were so nervous to leave her, but Carla eased all of our worries right away. She communicated constantly, sent thoughtful updates, and showed so much genuine care for Kiki. She went above and beyond—cleaned up litter, managed an ant situation, refreshed food and water, and made sure Kiki got tons of love and attention every visit. Kiki adored her, and we came home to a happy, relaxed cat. We are so grateful for her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would 100% trust her with Kiki again. Highly recommend Carla!

Carla is always the best. This time we had her watch our newest edition to the family - he’s full of energy and somehow Carla is always a miracle worker. For as long as she pet and house sits, she’ll always be our first choice.

I’ve had Carla sit twice now, and she’s wonderful with my girls. Makes it so much easier to be way when I don’t have to worry.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
