Work-From-Home Outdoorsy Dog Lover
Pet care experience
**For walks during COVID, I am happy to furnish my own lead and wipe down doorknobs and leash clips / bag holders on the way out, for your safety and mine** I am an adventurous, outdoorsy person who loves nature and adores animals of all kinds. I have lots of experience with both small and large breed dogs and not intimidated handling larger / stronger dogs that like to pull on the lead. I pup sat through Rover when I lived in Atlanta and now that I work from home in DC, I truly miss the rotating cast of dog characters that came through our home. They're a great excuse to leave my desk in the middle of the day and go for a walk or run together! Currently, I don't own a dog, and I take only one owner's dog(s) at a time (whether you own 1, 2, or 3 dogs) - that way you don't have to worry about "personality clashes" with other unknown dogs, I can cater their exercise and routine to their normal schedule and preferences, and I can give my full attention to your pet! My dog philosophy is based on an adequate amount of exercise and stimulation, maintaining their routine, and loads of praise and love. Personally, I am an extremely responsible and conscientious person who will treat your dog as though he or she were my own, giving loads of attention and love and will try to make up for your absence. From previous emotional dogs that I've owned, I know how important this is so that the dog doesn't pine for its owner, and you can rest easy knowing that your dog is happy while you're away. **Just FYI...I respond to 100% of requests and send photo updates to 100% of bookings. Some pup parents prefer to be updated through personal text, whatsapp, etc., which is not captured in the Rover metrics. Rest assured, I will always keep you informed and in touch with your pet on a daily basis!!** **Rates indicated are for a 24 hour period. Bookings extending more than a couple of hours past the 24 hour period will be charged an additional day rate (1 dog x $25; each additional dog $5)** :( :( SO SORRY ATLANTA PEOPLE, BUT I RECENTLY MOVED FOR WORK SO CAN NO LONGER ACCEPT BOOKINGS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DROP ME A LINE THOUGH AND LET ME KNOW HOW YOUR PUP IS DOING IF HE / SHE WAS A FORMER HOUSE GUEST :) :)
Reviews
Carla is amazing! She was very responsive, and provided detailed messages after her walks. She did such a great job with our lazy, stubborn (but lovable) bulldog! Thank you, Carla!!!
Carla is great! My dog always has a great time when he goes to Camp Carla.
Carla is absolutely wonderful. She sent awesome updates throughout our pups stay with her. They came home happy and tired from a great weekend! She took them on many walks in Rock Creek (which they love!!), the local neighborhood and games around the house. We will definitely be back!
I can’t recommend Carla enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, Oscar, giving him lots of snuggles and plenty of exercise, including dog park and hiking trips. She was a trooper getting him out during some gross winter weather! I could tell from her notes and pictures that she really cared about Oscar’s comfort and well-being. She even went out of her way to rearrange our drop-off when my travel plans changed last minute. Thank you so much Carla! Oscar can’t wait to come back!

Information Carla H. would like to know about your pet
I take dogs of all breeds, shapes, sizes, and characters. The only thing I ask is that you please don't book a dog who is knowingly destructive to property, aggressive in any way towards adults, or those who bark if left unattended...just to be fair to neighbours (Dogs will never be left for more than 2 hours if I have to go out).
A typical day
We will explore all natural spaces of DC - we live close to Rock Creek Park, and I like to go there often!
