I am available most weekdays and weekends, at any time. I have a very open / flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate you! I live in Michigan, near Saginaw Bay, but am willing to travel anywhere in the state or country. I have 2 sons that live in St. Petersburg, FL, and am that way as much as I can to see them and would love any excuse to get me there, lol!

Trusted Pet & Home Care

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Carla, a lifelong animal lover with a full, happy home of dogs of my own. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities—senior snugglers, shy pups, high-energy adventurers, and everything in between. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I treat every animal and home with genuine care and respect. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness always come first. Whether they enjoy calm cuddle time, enrichment walks, or playful companionship, I adapt to their individual needs. I especially enjoy house sitting because pets are happiest staying in their familiar environment. I spend quality time in the home so pets receive companionship, consistency, and a sense of normalcy while you’re away. I pride myself on leaving your home the same — if not better — than when you left. For clients who would like extra help while traveling, I’m happy to assist with home refreshes, deeper cleaning, organizing, plant care, or other agreed-upon household tasks for an additional fee. I work well with advance bookings and love building lasting relationships with returning clients. My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind and return to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. If you’re looking for dependable, attentive care from someone who truly enjoys animals, I would love to help! I understand the comfort of knowing both your pets and your home are in reliable hands while you’re away. I take pride in being honest, respectful, and trustworthy — treating every home and pet with the same care I would expect for my own.

Carla was amazing , warm and friendly and went above a beyond. Even had to ride out a power outage for almost 24 hours. She sent pictures daily and kept us informed at all times. Whilst attending to Ted's needs. I would definitely recommend Carla 100% And Will definitely asking Carla to return. It was very apparent she loves dogs and wanted to do her best to for our dog and Us . Thank so much Carla
