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, as dogs get old, they don't run as they used to. They sleep more, bark less, and spend more time lying down and less time jumping on the couch. Their teeth weaken, and they don't spoil anything around the house. Their nose turns all white. They visit the vet more than the park, and they lack energy. But they don't lose their brightness or their soul innocence. They are still the same, loving us above all. As time goes by, they need us more. They get sweeter and more helpless, and we start missing them. They don't complain; they still wag their tails and celebrate when we get home. They are still our four-legged little angels. If only we knew how to grow old with as much dignity as them and accept the nature of life as they do." ✨

Carla took amazing care of Frank. She was really easy to communicate too and also sent regular videos and pictures throughout the day. She also organised a meet & greet the day before which was a really nice touch. I would leave Frank with her anytime 🌟

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!
