Pet care experience

Looking for pets to cuddle with!

Walking is one of my favorite pastimes, I just like having company along for it. That same company is also welcome for cuddle time if they are into that kind of thing. We live in a townhouse with a small yard, but pets are never left outside alone or off leash. Ever!!! Safety and supervision are always my priority. I’m trained to communicate clearly and professionally with pet parents and to follow whatever boundaries you set for your pet. I adjust quickly to each animal’s personality and needs instead of treating them like they are all the same. I’m also mindful about reinforcing respectful boundaries with children and other pets when needed. I really see pets as individuals with their own personalities, and I treat them that way from the start.

Carla did fantastic watching my dog. She was very accommodating and sent plenty of pictures and updates. She even took him on an adventure. I’d definitely book again.

Carla was awesome with our baby. She updated us through out her stay and made my daughter feel comfortable knowing that was her puppy. She took her on hikes n kept her active the whole time. Definitely will use her again. Someone we trust with our Malamute fur baby:)

Carla was always so gentle and sweet with my main man, Fredo Sauce. It was comforting to know that my little man was in the hands of an animal lover. I would definitely ask her to dog sit again!

Carla G. has cared for my Chorkie, Maximus, several times in her home and ours. She has been very dependable and conscientious with feeding, loving and caring for Max. I appreciate her extra precautions she takes to ensure his safety. I would recommend Carla to any pet owner looking for a loving sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will be treated with the love, care, and attention I give my own. They will be part of the family with plenty of playtime and cuddles with TONS of beds to choose from.

A typical day

We will go on as many new walking paths we can find. We will play fetch, tug a war, or just a good ole fashion wrestle. If your pup is into that. We can also just chill on the couch if you have a lap dog. I can dangle a mean string in front of a kitty or give a good chin scratch! The activities that we will engage in will be determined based on your pets personalities, what they need to be comfortable and happy.

I do have children at home as young as 11. I have given all my children the same training I have in regards to an animals personal space. It’s helpful if you tell me what those boundaries are. I do not let my kids ride a big dog. I do not let my kids chase a cat or dog that appears to need space. I do not let my kids have the main responsibilities for someone else’s pet. I DO expect my children to respect your animal according to whatever boundaries both you and your animal give us. That being said, if your pet does not like children or has an intolerance to them, this would probably not be the most comfortable place for them. Please let me know if that would be a problem. We have two cats and one dog. They don’t attack animals, at best they are curious but keep their space. I will allow the animals to communicate their boundaries safely and with supervision. Our cats will keep their distance and mostly ignore all visitors. If you have an animal that chases cats please do not ask for me to pet sit. This is their home first after all! I have no breed preferences.
