Dog Lover, DogTec/Pet CPR Certified

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Carla. I've been taking care of dogs since an early age (7yrs old). I recently adopted a sweet havanese mix dog, named Ollie. He loves other dogs and is very mellow. He’s a great host and all the dogs that stay with us love him.

Carla always goes above and beyond treating Lucky as one of her own. Lucky enjoys his stay, always comes back happily exhausted, and he gets to spend time with his friend Ollie.

Carla was fantastic - we had a family emergency and she swooped in to help us and our dog. My dog is nervous of strangers, and she handled him so well. She was so conscientious and kind. Sent us lots of updates. Definitely recommend!

Carla took such great care of our pup Pippa! She made sure there was plenty of activity each day and we received many updates. Pippa had so much fun and we felt at ease our pup was in good hands. We will definitely use Carla again in the future!

Thank you so much for taking such good care of Lucky! I’m so glad he found a friend in Ollie and we know he is well taken cared for and feels at home in your care! We are so lucky to have found you Carla and Ollie!

Information Carla G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about your dog's personality, personal needs, and anything that may seem important to know while you are away. I would love to have your dog(s) vet info prior to our stay and as well as food schedule and/or medication info. I’m happy to help!

A typical day

I can walk your doggy morning, mid-day, and night. I usually go walking on trails, parks, beaches, or the neighborhood. Depends on what your dog is comfortable with! I have a fenced patio your dog is welcome to sunbathe in and an unfenced yard to play fetch. I also live so close to a big grassy park and hiking trails, so your pup will have plenty of places to play and explore.

I currently take care of dogs full-time and find myself having a special bond with animals (both dogs and cats). I will take your dog on fun dog-walking adventures all over Marin County and your fur baby will have an amazing staycation with me with lots of TLC! I can board your dog(s) any time as long as they are social since I have a minimum of two dogs here (mine!) and can stay on their own without barking (I have neighbors on both sides of my place.)
