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.

Carla was absolutely amazing! So caring and kind. Every day she would send me photos and video updates throughout the day. She has a beautiful fenced-in backyard and I loved seeing my dog, Betty, play with her dogs. I highly recommend Carla and I plan to bring Betty back to her in just a couple weeks and will use her again in the future next time we are out of town.

My puppy had an amazing time at Carla’s! With her large yard, the puppies had plenty of space to run and play freely. Carla shared daily videos and pictures, which kept us well informed and were a real joy to watch. Her genuine love for dogs truly showed, and it was such a comfort knowing my puppy was safe and cared for.
