I work from home so I am able to be home with the dogs all day. I do pick ups and drop offs at school in the neighborhood so there are limited times I am not in the home. When all of the 4 of us are gone dogs are crated for safety however that is extremely rare.

Information Carla H. would like to know about your pet

If there are any special dietary requirements or restrictions please let me know at the time you book an appointment. I ask that you adhere to drop off times and pick up times for everyone’s convenience and safety. Dogs must be leashed and I walk the dogs into my home as well as introduce your pet to mine and any others in the home. Again this is for safety. I am no currently doing meet and greets before bookings.

A typical day

I have a dog park near my home that I take Max to regularly. There are also residential areas and trails that we walk frequently as a family. We have tons of toys we can share or feel free to bring your own. I provide treats and beef bones for dogs that like to chew as an activity.

Pet care experience

Hi! I have been a Rover sitter for 4 years now and I love dogs! I currently have a 5 year old Cheagle and a 12 year old daughter. I realize how difficult it is leaving your fur baby but I treat all the dogs I watch like my own. I cook chicken, bacon and beef for my dog occasionally and can do the same for your dog if requested. I also keep extra beds and crates in my home for owners’ convenience. I am conveniently located near an owner access only dog park that I take my clients to for free play twice a day. I have a “dog couch” that dogs are allowed to lounge on. I also have a DogTv subscription for down time after play time at the park. I watch a maximum number of 3 pets at a time. Depending on care levels that number may be lower. I prioritize quality care over all else for every dog. Please feel free to reach out with questions! I respond quickly and please check out my reviews for reference. I am not currently taking Labradoodles.

Carla was an excellent dog sitter. She was kind, responsive, communicative, and I could tell how much she cared for dogs and my guy, Eli. I would highly highly recommend her and her family. Thank you, Carla!

Carla was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using the Rover app, and I was extremely nervous about leaving my baby with someone he didn’t know — especially someone I didn’t know either. However, Carla immediately made me feel comfortable. She was pleasant and kept me updated throughout the stay by sending plenty of pictures and messages, which really helped ease my mind. Yori was clearly well taken care of and comfortable with her. When I picked him up, he usually cries after not seeing me for a long period of time, but he didn’t do that at all. He was actually looking for Carla when she went back into the house lol. That alone showed me how loved and cared for he felt while he was there. She took great care of Yori, and I would definitely book with her again!

Oreo loves going to Carla’s house! Carla is the best sitter in my area and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy dog sitter.

Carla was amazing! She sent me pictures daily so that I knew Onyx was having an amazing time. She even asked me if it was okay for him to have a treat before giving it to him! Which I really appreciated because he can be a lil sensitive. I will definitely use her services again.
