Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your pets like my own. For dogs I follow a positive reinforcement based training style, so I will be sure to treat your dogs with kindness and respect. With cats, I am well aware how shy some can be. I will take my time getting to know them and give them the attention they need. I know how stressful it can be to find someone trustworthy to take care of your pets. I hope to take some of this stress away from you!

Pet care experience

I currently have 4 cats and 2 dogs. One of my dogs deals with leash reactivity and I have spent extensive time with trainers to get him to a good place. My other dog is just out of puppy hood and doing wonderfully. I am used to managing a house with a variety of animals and have experience with all sorts of pet temperaments. I have pet sit for friends in the past. 2 of my cats require daily medication and I am familiar with administering pills and shots to cats. My long term goal is to become a professional dog trainer. I am using Rover as an opportunity to work with more dogs and get some additional experience.

Carla was very responsive and took great care of my bonded pair of kitties! I feel easy knowing I can travel and have Carla as a responsible and caring sitter while I travel. I plan to book with Carla again, and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
