Pet care experience

Reliable, Loving Pet Care!🐾😺🐴❤️

Loving, Reliable & Experienced Pet Care on My Peaceful Ranch Animals have always been at the heart of my life — truly, I can’t remember a time without them! From dogs and cats to horses, exotics, and farm animals, I’ve spent a lifetime surrounded by fur, feathers, and friendship. For the past 20 years, I’ve been raising, training, and showing German Shorthaired Pointers as an active member of the SAGSPC and NGSPC. I’ve also been a dedicated horse owner and rider for over 30 years, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, patience, and trust. My philosophy is simple: positive training, gentle structure, and lots of love create calm, confident, and well-mannered companions. At home on my small Wimberley ranch, I share my days with 4 horses, 3 dogs, and one spoiled cat — my beloved family who remind me daily why I do this work. Why Pet Parents Choose Me: • Experienced, knowledgeable & calm under pressure — especially with seniors and special-needs pets. • Skilled in administering medications (oral, injectable, topical, and medicated baths). • Professional communication —daily and after every visit, you’ll receive detailed updates, photos, and notes about how your pet is doing. • Flexible, dependable & responsive — available for last-minute bookings, schedule changes, and travel emergencies. • Trustworthy home care — I treat your home with the same respect and care as your pet. I’m a retired teacher, native Texan, and long-time Wimberley resident, known for being reliable, punctual, honest, and compassionate. As a fit, outdoorsy grandmother of six, I’m active and attentive — your pets will never be bored! My Services: • House Sitting: 8–12 hours overnight with optional midday visits. Includes pet care, playtime, feeding, plant watering, mail/package collection, tidying, and plenty of snuggles. • Dog Walking: 30 minutes of brisk or relaxing walks tailored to your dog’s needs, plus potty breaks and cuddle time. • Drop-In Visits: 30–60 minutes of personalized care — walks, feeding, playtime, meds, litter cleaning, and companionship. • Boarding: Safe, structured, and loving care in my calm home environment. Your pet will enjoy exercise, toys, companionship, and unlimited affection. • Doggy Day Care: Up to 8 hours of supervised fun, play, and comfort in a clean, peaceful setting. I maintain a large, secure fenced yard and separate spaces for individual or group play as needed. My schedule is relaxed and flexible, allowing ample one-on-one time for cuddles, enrichment, and calm. I can’t wait to meet your beloved animal family!

Carla was a wonderful provider. Spent lots of one-on-one time with our dog and also lots of time integrating our dog with her two lovely dogs.

Can’t thank Carla enough!!! She took such good care of our four cats while we were out of town. She sent updates each day and pictures for my daughter to enjoy, since she was missing her pets while out of town. Highly recommend Carla if you need someone to take care of your furry family!

A typical day

Pets in my care enjoy freedom, safety and fun! Boarding is one of the most popular services I offer. I provide lots of attention, snuggles, and kindness. Your pet will enjoy games, play and positive interactions that create trust relieving any anxiety, loneliness, and boredom. Dogs staying with me enjoy free play in my large, fenced yard, leashed walks on our 20 acre fenced rural property, splashing in the creek and enjoying the great outdoors. We also have a puppy pool, dog toys, and shady, cool trees to relax under. I also provide comfortable, air conditioned indoor areas to cool off or hang out. Your dog will enjoy loving human attention focusing on his/her particular needs, expert care, and exercise.

I would like to know what kinds of things your dog likes, favorite games, or toys. Please let me know what his daily routines , feeding schedule, habits, and preferences are. It is also very helpful if your pet has had crate and leash training. It is also important to know if your dog is aggressive or reactive at all so I can keep everyone safe and drama free. Please provide proof of vaccination.
