Pet care experience
I love animals. My own dogs are high energy, so I know that good playtime, walking, and intentional focused affection towards dogs, and of course other pets helps their mental health and quality of life immensely. I would love to provide this care for your pet, so you can be worry free while away from them. My experience is with: Puppies & training, crate training, adult dogs, senior dogs, pet cancer care, administering pills, clipping nails, grooming, finicky eaters, chewers, high energy dogs, escape artist dogs, sensitive dogs, scooping poop, and more.
Reviews
Carla is great! She initially came over to meet our two dogs ahead of time and we walked through everything that she needed to know for the visit. Our puppies can be a handful and she was very patient with them. On the day of the check in, she was on time, and spent time playing with our dogs and even did a little bit of training! We were thrilled to get such a thorough report at the end of the visit with lots of pics. We all know that we love to get pics of our fur babies! We liked her so much that we are booking her again for another drop in visit!
When Carla took care of our three dogs (Layla, Buck, and Dexter) for a week, she sent us pictures and updates every day. Those updates made it a lot easier for my partner (who is always anxious about leaving our pups behind) and I to relax on our most recent vacation. We will definitely be hiring her again and have already recommended her to our friends with pets.
Carla is absolutely amazing! Our dogs, Rex and Bella, can be a handful (to put it mildly), but Carla took care of them like they were her own. She's got this incredible vibe that even our fur monsters can't resist. Every day, she sent us updates and cute pics that made us feel so connected and reassured. Honestly, it's like she speaks their language or something. Finding someone you trust with your pets is so difficult, but Carla did an amazing job. Rex and Bella are already looking forward to their next hangout with her. 10/10, would recommend to any pet parent out there!

Safety, trust & environment
I am a clean, quiet, punctual, and considerate person. I will be attentive with your pets care and your home while you are away. Tell me about your pet: are they shy? Anxious? Aggressive towards other animals? Love to chase bicycles? An expert at slipping out of their collar? A scavenger for garbage to eat on a walk? Help me keep them safe and happy by sharing their quirks and challenges with me.
Information Carla F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs your dog has, things it enjoys as well as expectations of care during your absence. I'll be sure to ask questions as well to clarify your requests before the scheduled home sitting dates. I am passionate about providing attentive care to any pet.
A typical day
I love morning walks with dogs, I have lots of experience with leash walking, leash walk-training, as well as off leash dog walking and fetch at Connors Bog. I enjoy coexisting with animals so while I go about my day, your pet will have plenty of attention and love as I treat them like my sidekick for the time I get to spend with them. I'm a fetch enthusiast, master keep-away/chase player, and a strong tug of war participant. I will keep your dogs entertained and they will be tired and content by the time you get home.
