Experienced & Certified Pet Sitter.
Pet care experience
As a child, I always had dogs around me. However, after losing my previous dog in December 2015, I didn't feel ready to get another one immediately. As a way to stay close to dogs and help heal my heart, I decided to become a pet sitter. Now, I have a rescued greyhound named Foxy, who is a peaceful angel. She gets along well with other dogs and loves to sleep! I always follow your best friend's routine, including meal schedules, favourite games, and preferred places to walk, to make him feel at home 🐕🐩. This is documented with pictures and videos to keep you updated all the time 🤗. If you need pet sitting, dog walking, daycare, or puppy care services, please contact me, and we can arrange a pre-visit if you like 📨. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Here are the certifications I possess: ✔️Pet Sitting Professional Certified from Pet Sitter International (PSI) - USA ✔️Animal Behavior and Welfare Certified from the University of Edinburgh - UK ✔️Dog Emotion and Cognition Certified from Duke University - UK ✔️Pet Sitter Certified from DogWalker - BR "Yes, they get old. They don't run as they used to. They sleep more. Bark less. Spend more time lying down. Less time jumping on the couch. Their weak teeth don't spoil anything around the house. The nose gets all white. They make more visits to the vet than to the park. They lack energy. But they don't lose their brightness. Don't lose their soul innocence. They are still the same, loving us above all. And as time goes by, they need us more. They get sweeter and more helpless. And we have already started missing them. They don't complain. They still wag their tails. They still celebrate when we get home. They are still the four-legged little angels. If we knew how to grow old with so much dignity as them. If we knew how to accept the nature of life as them."
Reviews
Amazing. So kind, caring & super knowledgeable on behaviour. Carla sent us regular updates throughout the day & we would happily leave Dusty with Carla again. High recommend.
Carla was very nice with our little Charley when we left him with her for one day. She kept updating us with pictures and videos literally every 30 minutes which made us feel very good as this was the first time we left our puppy with somebody we didn’t know. Carla also offered a meet and greet the day before, which was a very nice touch. I would personally recommend Carla to everybody, she really loves dogs!
Nancy had a wonderful day with Carla. She was very well taken care of - she had play, exercise, food and cuddles. Carla was very communicative, sharing updates, pics and videos throughout the day which helped as it was Nancy’s first time in doggy day care. We will definitely use Carla again for day care and potentially overnight stays.
Carla was great as always. I was gone for over two weeks and she sent so many daily updates and gave me so much peace of mind that my dog was in good hands while I was away. Her dog had an emergency and she still cared after mine. Very highly recommend!
