Pet care experience

Dog Mom, DogTec/Pet CPR Certified

Hi, I’m Carla! Caring for dogs has been a part of my life since childhood, and in 2015 I turned that lifelong passion into “my full-time job” to offer elevated, attentive pet care rooted in trust, compassion, and the belief that every dog is family. I’m a proud dog mom to Ollie, my 20-lb rescue from the Kern Project, and a lifelong dog lover through and through. With over a decade of professional experience, I’m incredibly grateful for the many loyal, returning clients who trust me with their beloved pups. I’m Pet First Aid & CPR–certified, fully insured, and a graduate of the DogTec Dog Walking Academy, where I trained extensively in pack management, canine behavior, and safety protocols. Whether your dog joins me for a walk or stays for boarding, they’ll always be safe, loved, and exceptionally well cared for. I look forward to connecting and caring for your dog as if they were my own.

Carla has always been amazing every time Lucky stays over. She takes care of him as though he were her own. He even lost some much needed weight on his most recent stay with all of the walks! Lucky loves Ollie so the added companionship is an added bonus.

Thank you again for making Lucky feel at home. He always comes back so happy when spending time with you and Ollie.

Schedule

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.)

Safety, trust & environment

I'm pet First Aid and CPR-certified and insured for your peace of mind. I graduated from the DogTec Dog Walking Academy in 2016; where I learned about pack management, dog behavior, and safety protocols. I have worked on Rover as well as for myself over the years. I'm very loving and would take care of your fuzzy one with no doubt like she/he were mine. Looking forward to meeting you!

Pets

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Carla can host up to 2 pets per night
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!
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.
