Pet care experience
A Loving Home From Home 🐾
I’m a genuine animal lover with a huge soft spot for dogs. I’ve grown up around dogs all my life, so I’m experienced and comfortable around all different types, sizes and personalities. I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs, routines and quirks. Sadly, I recently lost my beautiful girl Meka, who was my bestest friend and my constant companion for 15 wonderful years. We recently had to say goodbye, and I miss her more than words can say. ❤️🐾 While losing her has been heartbreaking, I’d love to be able to give that same love, care and attention to other dogs. I also have hands-on animal care experience from working on a farm, where I gained experience caring for a variety of animals. This has taught me the importance of being responsible, observant and patient when looking after animals, as well as understanding that they all have different needs. I’m a patient, caring and trustworthy person, and I have lots of love to give. I would treat every dog in my care as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks and playtime, or is older, nervous and prefers a quiet cuddle and lots of reassurance, I’m happy to work around their individual personality and routine. 🥰 I’m also more than happy to keep you updated while your dog is in my care, including sending photos and little updates, so you can relax knowing your best friend is being looked after. 📸🐶 After 15 years with Meka, I know first-hand that dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family, they’re our companions, and sometimes they’re our bestest friends. ❤️ I have patience, experience and, most importantly, a whole lot of love to give. 🐾❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and hopefully become someone you can trust with your very special family member. 🐶💕

Ratings and reviews
Carla has looked after our springer spaniel for around 2yrs now and she's absolutely brilliant with her. Shea is quite a nervous dog and Carla has been so patient and really gained her trust. She walks her twice a week for me whilst I'm at work and I love that she sends regular pics and updates of their adventures! Shea definitely sleeps well after a walk with Carla ☺️
Carla is brilliant, you can see she has a passion for animals and their welfare. She has helped me in the past, caring for my cat and dog. With Carla you receive regular communication/updates throughout the time away, photos and video clips too! HIGHLY recommend and will not hesitate to return. Very friendly, reliable and chatty too! I can honestly say that from the moment I met Carla, spoke with her and saw her brief interaction with my fur babies, I was instantly reassured and knew everything would be ok! And returning to settled and happy fur babies is just the icing on the cake! A real gem in this service!
Carla is an experienced, professional individual, who absolutely adores dogs. She goes above and beyond for anyone and everyone and makes an excellent dog sitter. After walking my dog kiwi (collie x golden retriever) every day for a week whilst I was in Egypt, she did bonded with her, and provided a brilliant service for a great price. I would 100% use Carla again.
Carla is a caring and reliable individual with a big love for all animals! She has always had dogs of her own growing up and loves taking them on long walks to the local nature reserve’s.

Schedule
As a stay-at-home mum who isn’t currently working, I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pet the attention, care and company they deserve. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time, and I can work around their normal routine, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, toilet breaks, cuddles and plenty of attention. 🐶❤️ I love being at home, so having a furry friend around would be a lovely addition to my day. I can give them lots of companionship throughout the day rather than simply checking in on them before heading off to work. I’m also flexible and happy to adapt to your pet’s individual needs. Whether they need long walks and lots of play, or they’re older and prefer a slower pace with plenty of naps, kisses and cuddles, I’ll make sure their routine is kept as normal and comfortable as possible. Your pet will be treated like part of the family, with lots of love, attention and company while you’re away. 🐾❤️
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Having recently lost my beloved dog of 15 years, I understand just how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to know they are safe, loved and well cared for. I’m a stay-at-home mum, so I’m able to offer pets plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. I provide a calm, comfortable and welcoming home environment where pets can settle in at their own pace and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my priority. I make sure they have a secure space, fresh water, regular meals, exercise and lots of affection. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have around feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements or routines. I know every pet is different, and I’ll take the time to understand their personality and individual needs. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away, including photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for and loved. My home is a safe, caring environment where your pet can feel comfortable, relaxed and part of the family.

A typical day
I’m a stay-at-home mum, so apart from the school drop-offs, I’m home for most of the day and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I love getting out for long walks in nature, but after caring for my own elderly dog for 15 years, including through health issues, I understand that every pet has different needs. Not every dog wants a big adventure — some would much rather spend the day curled up on the sofa, tucked under a blanket and enjoying lots of cuddles. ❤️ I’m happy to adapt the day around your pet’s age, personality, energy levels and usual routine. Whether they need long walks and plenty of stimulation, gentle pottering around the garden, or simply a quiet day being pampered on the sofa, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. My priority is to give your pet the kind of day they enjoy most — with plenty of love, attention and companionship. 🐾💕

- Before your pet comes to stay, I’d love to know as much as possible about their personality, routine and individual needs. Every pet is different, and the more I know, the more comfortable and settled I can help them feel. Please let me know about: * 🐾 Their usual feeding routine and any dietary requirements * 💊 Any medication, health conditions or special care they need * 🐕 Their normal walking and exercise routine * 💤 Where they usually sleep and any bedtime routines * ❤️ Their personality, likes, dislikes and favourite things * 🐶 How they are around other dogs, children and people * 🏡 Any worries, anxieties or behaviours I should be aware of * 🚨 Anything that may cause them stress or make them uncomfortable * 📞 Your preferred emergency contact and vet details Please don’t worry if your pet is elderly, nervous or needs extra care. Having cared for my own elderly dog for 15 years with health issues, I understand that some pets need a slower pace, extra patience and lots of reassurance. The more you can tell me beforehand, the better I can make their stay feel like a home away from home. ❤️🐾
