Professional Animal Empath

Pet care experience

I grew up in a household of animal people, so I have been caring for animals my entire life. I have a connection to animals and feel blessed to be able to help you feel secure when you need someone to care for your furry ones. I know how it feels to know your pets are safe with fresh food and water and love. I currently have three dogs and three cats, all rescues. I am passionate about animals and l love to take my dogs to the dog park, the beach, walks by the ocean, and rides in the car. I love to see my dogs running around and having fun. Their favorite games are fetch and chasing each other around the yard. There are so many kinds of animals that I have cared for at one time or another, from mice and birds to goats and horses. I have a lot of experience with animals of all kinds and temperaments. My experience includes hand raising farm animals and a blue ribbon winner in western style horseback riding. I love animals, I love my job, and I take it very seriously. My job is to please my clients and there fur babies. 🐾 Additionally, I lived on this island for almost 20 years and I have experience and relationships with veterinarians and advocates around the island if anything were ever to go wrong. Your babies are in good hands! ❤️🐈‍⬛🐾🐕🦜🕊️🐴🐐🐇🐁🐭🐓❤️🐾

First time Carla cared for our puppy. She arrived promptly and Ona was excited to be with her. When dinner seemed to be running later I asked if she could stay a little longer which she happily agreed to. We will be happy to have Carla come back.

Carla has an amazing gift with animals. I have worked with her for 7 years. She can tame strays and make cats drool with happiness. I never have to worry about my babies when I am away from home because Carla is very professional and trustworthy and our dogs and cats love her. Best petsitter ever!

I am very unhappy with my experience with Carla. I have used rover for years with great success. But this experience was bad. First off she was booked to arrive at 5pm. I said she could arrive as late as 6-630pm and I could still catch my flight. She didn’t show up until 730pm. I had met Carla once before on a meet and greet. Otherwise I would’ve had to cancel my trip. Because of her tardiness I did not get a chance to show her how my house worked or how to take care of my dog. My dog has long fur and it matted because she didn’t brush her. I left the brushes out on the table. I had to take her to a groomer. I’m assuming she didn’t brush her teeth as well. As the brushes were not moved. There was a lack of communication from what I’m used to during the stay. I got 2 pictures in 6 days. I did not feel comfortable. I was worried. When I got home I was 2.5 hours early. Carla had already left. And left my house open. Because she was late I did not get to explain to her that our left kitchen sink has a leak. She informed me that she had flooded the house. A dog toy 20 feet from the sink was wet. It was a big flood. She cleaned the water but not under the sink. Which I had to clean. It had rice chicken and vegetables pieces all over it. Instead of meeting me and doing a pass off she was gone hours earlier than I booked her for. And I found large dog turds in my driveway she didn’t bother to pick up. My dog is 5 lbs. her turds are small. These were from a much larger dog. I know she has larger dogs. I was not aware they would be on my property. My dog does not get along with other animals. Not to mention I should not have to pick up her dogs turds! All in all this was not a good experience. I chose her because she had such great feedback ratings. But this was a bad experience. I don’t feel my animal got the care she deserved. And I was not feeling comfortable the whole time I was gone which is what a pet sitter should do! I booked her cuz she had such great feedback but she’s the worst person I’ve ever used off river.

As usual, Carla was professional, kind, and responsible. My doggies love her, and I never worry when she is caring for them!
