Information Carla F. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog have any injuries or need any medication. Also, since I own two dogs, I need to know if you're dog gets along with all dogs or not in order to set up needed gates throughout the house if I need to keep them separated.

A typical day

I like to play mental games with all dogs staying with me, go on walks and play with water in the backyard if the dog enjoys water. I also train dogs during their stay with me with if the owners want to work in a specific behavior.

Gobi had a great, fun stay with Carla. She does an excellent job making sure he gets plenty of attention indoors and in the nice yard. Would recommend!

Carla was amazing with Ziggy! She kept us updated with pictures, and Ziggy had so much fun playing with the other dogs. It made us feel so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Carla again! ❤️

Carla is a great dog sitter! So thankful to have her helping us out. She is 24/7 sitter ( or her substitute )👍. Also she has a big back yard, so can set dogs free anytime, which is great!

Carla is amazing! We needed a last minute sitter for our week away and she took our pup in like a charm. Our dog, Toto, tends to be shy around new dogs and Carla did an amazing job providing daily video updates and made him feel so comfortable he wouldn't stop playing with the other dogs she cared for. 100% recommend 👌

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.
