Pet care experience
Hello! I've been a dog owner for more than twenty years. For the past ten years, I've been providing pet sitting services to friends, family, and neighbors. I have owned/worked with puppies, adults, and senior dogs. And my experience doesn't end there -- I have also cared for birds, cats, and even the occasional fish! As the owner of a Siberian Husky, I'm no stranger to dealing with stubborn, intelligent, and high-energy dogs. Not only do I find daily exercise essential, but encourage the use of enrichment toys and activities! I also have a crotchety, 15 year-old lady cat who hates fun but has a heart of gold. So if sleeping on a blanket all day except for snacktime is your pet’s jam, I can do that, too. A few years ago I was a full-time sitter for a Weimaraner puppy; a position that required a daily weekday commute, assistance with housebreaking and basic training, and lots of daily exercise. On the flip side, I have also taken care of senior dogs that needed to be given medication (including insulin shots) and have needed extra help due to blindness or walking issues. I have also administered topical sprays, foams, and ear drops to my feline friends. I also have experience with different types of dietary needs/restrictions. Anyone can give your pet a bowl of kibble, but I have also administered raw food diets and prepared/cooked meals. I am very mindful of pets with digestive issues and allergies and will never give your pet any food that isn't part of your plan! As a freelance artist, my schedule is flexible. I can usually fit you in with at least two days notice. Contact me and let's talk all things fuzzy!
Reviews
Carla is extremely responsible, capable, dependable and caring. I have used Carla over the past several years for my always attention-hungry english bulldog. Overnight or just drop in care, I always know that my pup will be well cared for and loved and that I can count on Carla. She's the best!
Carla has been caring for my senior dog for 12 years. My boy is absolutely in love with her! I trust her with all my heart that when I am not able to care for him that she goes above and beyond to make him happy well taken care of. I am so thankful to have her as a pet care giver and I recommend her to everyone in need of the services she provides!!!! Carla is truly the best!!!!!
Carla babysat my Weimaraner puppy (very high maintenance) for the better part of a year while I worked during the day. She treated my dog as if he were her own and I never once had to worry about the welfare of my dog. I got regular updates throughout the day on his behavior and I truly felt my dog was safe with Carla. I would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone looking for someone to trust who is knowledgeable, responsible, and dedicated to the care of your animal.
I have used Carla for almost a year. Most of the time it’s for a day or 2 but she stayed at my house for over a week when I went on vacation last year. She is trustworthy, takes her commitment seriously & my husband & I are totally confident in her care of our precious Andy. She walks him, follows his feeding schedules & even lets him cuddle with her! I can’t say enough about this jem!
