Safety, trust & environment

As someone who is extremely picky about who cares for my pets, your fur babies are my own! A positive safe experience is my top priority. I love routine and getting to know your individual pets needs and preferences. I am patient with sensitive animals who need extra time to get to know me or high energy dogs who need extra attention.

Information Carla R. would like to know about your pet

Clean detailed instructions and meet/greets are my guide to your best friend! Besides the usual dietary requirements, where their leashes and toys are, be sure to include any information about their temperament and any quirks, preferred ways of handling, commands, tricks, etc.

A typical day

My typical drop-in visit will include a greeting and snuggles/pets tailored to the dogs (or cats) preference. Then out to backyard for potty break or a quick walk around the neighborhood for those apartment dwellers. Depending on the what the dog likes, plenty of playtime, fetch, tricks for treats, etc.

Pet care experience

Pet care is nothing new to me. My first memories include taking care of my next door neighbors two Weimaraners, which led me to getting one of my own at 18 years old. My crazy soul dog Indi of 15 years started me on an incredible journey in his training, including the world of dog sports. We earned two obedience titles together and had many adventures from dog shows to the trails of the foothills until his passing in 2018. Ive met so many amazing cats and dogs along the way. My experience includes assisting in caring for client dogs of an in-home dog boarding business and of a professional dog trainer. I recently got a new amazing high energy golden retriever puppy named Tango! We are having a blast and he is a lot of work but so much fun. I also have two cats of my own, Skunky and Squeak. They are the best kitties but have yet to approve of the new addition. lol.

Carla did an excellent job of looking after my two kitties. She made sure they were well fed and cared for, and she spent time playing with them and giving them lots of love and attention!

I was away for over 2-weeks and not once did I worry about my cats. I knew, as Carla has done with her Drop-in Visits before, she takes great care of my cats and they enjoy her company too. Her photos and videos were awesome. Carla is always been my first choice.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
