Availability
I am a stay at home dog mom! I’m up early every morning and go to bed fairly late which is good for accommodating a variety of potty needs. If it’s hot out I like to run dogs who need a lot of exercise earlier in the day. Outside play is supervised! If your dog eats at a certain time I can follow your schedule.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced yard at my home and a very friendly 50 pound golden doodle who loves to play with others. We don’t have any children or other types of pets in our home so there are less variables. Your dog will be treated like family! With regard to food allergies, there is no danger as we separate dogs at eating time for safety purposes. With regard to food allergies, please let me know the specifics so I make sure that treats are safe as well. For walking dogs ultimate safety is first. If I visit your home to look in on your pooch I’ll send a photo of me locking your door and stowing the key if that applies, just so we know all bases are covered. You will get lots of pictures and check-ins…if it’s too much you can request fewer contact moments. My dog sitter usually checks in everyone morning and sometimes during the day and I love that because it makes me feel like she is happy and well cared for!!!
Home
Information Carla L. would like to know about your pet
Again, a detailed history of your pet’s background and any info about likes, dislikes or personal behavior/habits is very helpful. I want your pup to feel comfortable… as well as YOU, the parent!!Do you have enough water? I send a lot of pics and really enjoy videoing activities! You can’t help but smile and laugh!!!
A typical day
We usually wake up early especially in the summer so that active dogs have an opportunity for lots of outside play before it gets too hot! I have lots of toys that make interesting noises and are fun for fetching. We have a huge yard! Also, there is a common area (about 2-3 acres of lawn) in my neighborhood where deer and other animals have roamed so there are lots of smells to check out with your dog on an extended leash. It is behind a hill and hidden, so very quiet and private. I have a wading pool for cooling off in the summer!! Dogs hang out with us on the furniture and are given plenty of love and care. A detailed description of your dog’s history and preferences help me to care for him or her like they are at home! Don’t feel bad if your dog doesn’t want to leave!!!. It’s a good environment and your pops will love coming as much as I love having them!

Pet care experience
All I ever wanted to be is a stay at home dog mom…and I’m finally there! I’ve always loved every dog I ever met and can’t pass them by without saying hello. As a family, we owned poodle breeds, poodle mixes , Australian Shepherd and mixed breeds. They were always such a special part of our family!! I have tons of experience training puppies through the crate method. I’ve had experience with a variety of breeds including labs, Akita, hound, shepherds, Maltese, Terriers and golden retrievers! I had a rescue dachshund chihuahua mix who had epilepsy, so I’m familiar with that condition as well. We currently have a 2.5 year old Golden Doodle who has lots of energy and needs buddies!! Looking forward to some furry friends for playday, for the week or just for a walk. I am good with basic training such as sit, lie down, down/off, come and stay commands. Our dog is part of our family … on the furniture and in the bed and in our hearts!! If your dog isn’t allowed on the furniture/bed we can manage that. We have a huge fenced in backyard which is largely shaded by 4 or 5 in the afternoon and we have a small splash pool which is good for cooling off! Looking forward to meeting up with your special baby to provide tail wagging care while you’re away!
Reviews
Carla was great with my Sooie. She sent pics and kept me updated. I was very happy to find her for our girl. The best thing was she took care of her like her own! Will use her again!
Wonderful as always! Thanks!
Wow, we found a gem for Presley! Our trip to the Gulf was a resounding success much due to Carla’s care for our boy. He learned the drive to Carla’s neighborhood and grew excited rapidly as we approached. Carla’s Copper was a perfect fit for the lonely boy on vacation. Thank you so very much from Presley and of course us! We will be looking to use Carla again in our future trips.
Carla watched our dogs, Rio and Preacher, and we highly recommend her. She was incredibly professional, warm, and clearly has a deep understanding of dog behavior. Throughout our time away, Carla provided regular updates and photos, showing Rio and Preacher happy and enjoying their time staying with her. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!
