Animals are EVERYTHING to me!
Pet care experience
Hello! I love animals so much, I quit my career in Hospitality Management and changed to the Veterinary field, and it was the BEST decision I have ever made. I have worked both in General Practice and Emergency & Specialty Practices. I have loved all animals my whole life and grew up with dogs, cats, flying squirrels and wild rabbits. I currently have three weirdly lovable cats and a sweet little dog . I have watched and fostered other pets growing up and I currently pet sit for clients, colleagues, friends and family. I can’t wait to spoil your buddy with love!
Reviews
Carla is an amazing pet sitter. She treats my pets as if they were her own. Carla goes above and beyond to ensure that your pet is well taken care of so you do not have to worry while on vacation. I have also referred her to many of my friends and they give rave reviews as well!
Carla was amazing with my Golden Retreiver Barney. My husband and I have to go out of town for work and family events on a regular basis so having someone Barney is comfortable with is great! He has separation anxiety and with Carla, he feels comfortable. She goes above and beyond. We had asked her to just watch him, take him out for his walks and spend some time, and in addition to this, while we are gone, she takes him to the dog park for socialization. We highly recommend Carla to anyone who is looking for a warm, friendly person to both people and pets.
I have known Carla O'Connor for nearly 20 years. The first time that we met, she was nursing a baby bunny back to health. She grew up around the family dog, Maxx, and was loving and kind to him and the other animal family in their home. Carla can be trusted to care for your loved per in a loving, responsible manner.
Carla will make an excellent dog sitter. She has been around pets since she was a young girl and enjoyed being with them and taking care of them. Carla is a caring, love, and responsible young lady. She will care for your pet as if it is her own.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust and environment are so important to providing your pet with optimum care. My experience in the veterinary field has helped me to develop top notch skills in this area. I have no problem cleaning up after pets, cuddling them, and making sure they are happy and healthy.
Home
Information Carla . would like to know about your pet
How is their behavior? What is their absolute most favorite thing? What makes them angry, scared or sad and what can I do to add relief? What do I need to do to ensure that they are happy and feel loved? Do they have a routine that needs followed? Any medications that need given?
A typical day
A typical day really depends on your pet! If they love going for walkies, then I will ensure we either go the route they love or a new one. If your pet is more at home energy, we will play there! If your pet is low energy, we can cuddle all day :) Whatever your fur baby needs :)
