Pet care experience
Professional & Reliable
Hello, pet parents! My name is Carla and I'm an experienced, loving, and dedicated pet sitter based in Emerald Isle. I've been passionate about animals ever since I was a kid and have spent the last 6 years turning that passion into a career. I've cared for animals of all shapes and sizes — from energetic puppies to mature cats, from tiny birds to sizable reptiles and everything in between. I have a special knack for understanding pets' needs and communicating with them on their level. My priority is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. When it comes to dogs, I'm experienced in managing various breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I am proficient in basic training commands and am capable of handling dogs who are leash trained or harness trained. I know all the great dog parks and pet-friendly spots around the local community and I am eager to keep your furry friend exercised and socialized. For feline friends, I'm well-versed in kitty care. I understand their unique personalities and respect their space. Whether your cat loves playtime or prefers a relaxing brushing session, I can adapt to each of their specific needs. In my care, your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I am committed to staying in regular communication with you, and providing frequent updates and photos so you can rest assured your pet is in the best hands. Lastly, as a professional pet sitter with Rover, I am fully insured and bonded. I offer a range of services including dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I am flexible with scheduling and will do my best to accommodate your needs. Thank you for considering me as your pet's sitter. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) soon!

Schedule
Here's a peek into my daily schedule to give you an idea of how I'll be caring for your beloved pets. **Early Morning (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM):** I start the day bright and early, ensuring your pets have a good start too. This is the time for the first walk of the day for dogs, making sure they have plenty of exercise to start their day. For cats, this is the time for feeding, litter box cleaning, and maybe a little playtime if they're up for it. **Late Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM):** After a little breakfast for myself, I continue with pet duties. This includes any necessary grooming, administering medication (if applicable), and more playtime or training sessions. I'll also check in with you, sending updates and photos of your fur-babies. **Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM):** Lunchtime! I'll ensure your pets are fed according to their dietary needs and schedule. After lunch, it's time for another walk for the dogs or some indoor playtime for pets needing more exercise. I'll also continue to monitor your pets for any signs of discomfort or stress and provide comfort as needed. **Evening (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM):** Dinner time for your pets. I'll feed them and ensure they have fresh water. After dinner, there will be time for another walk or play session. I'll also spend some time just relaxing with your pets, as I believe that bonding time is essential for their emotional well-being. **Late Evening/Night (9:00 PM - 10:00 PM):** Before I call it a day, I'll take dogs out for a last quick bathroom break, tidy up the pet areas, and make sure all pets are comfortable and ready for bed. I'll also send you an end-of-day update so you can rest easy knowing your pets are well cared for. Please note that this is a general schedule and can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of your pets. I look forward to providing the best care for your furry (or feathery or scaly) family members!
