Information Carla S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what your pets favorites are! Are they food or toy motivated? What’s their favorite snacks? Should I know of any triggers? I would like a heads up if they are aggressive or reactive towards humans or other animals! I’m comfortable with respecting their boundaries and working slowly to accommodate stressed pets! Do they have any allergies? What works best for them? What is their routine? I’d like to respect and help maintain their routine for you!

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically! Do they wanna go for a run together, or play treat games? Rain or shine we’ll have fun!

Pet care experience

Hi friends, my name is Carla, and I LOVE animals. Anyone who knows me, can vouch for that. I’ve grown up having a numerous amount of pets, all different sizes, and kinds! Pretty much anything my parents would let me bring home since I was a toddler. I’ve had dogs and cats of all sizes, snakes, turtles, birds, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, you name it! This didn’t stop in my adult hood, I currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 turtles, whom are all rescues! I have been in the animal field for 6+ years, working in shelters, emergency hospitals, surgical units, and general clinics as a veterinary technician. I am highly experienced with anxious/reactive pets, senior pets, neonatal pets, or even pets with medical needs. I’m also currently a lead tech at a spay/neuter clinic so I am very experienced with surgical recovery! I understand the importance of safety of crates/kennels, and am willing to be compliant with your house rules for your pets! Wether they need to be walked around blocks, or even in your yard for a playtime/potty break, rain or shine I will be there. I also have training experience, so if allowed, I would be happy to help with leash training or command training during my visits! If there is one thing every pet needs, it someone patient and willing, and that’s me! Rain or shine, I’ll be there!

Where can I even begin with how AMAZING Carla is. I actually met her at a veterinary clinic and couldn’t help but ask for her information because the way she made my extremely anxious and reactive dog feel, you would think they’ve known each other for years! Sje was very patient and understanding, and did not give up on my baby! She is extremely knowledgeable and informative, and her personality is so genuine and sweet! I have never felt more comfortable and trusting towards anyone like I do her! She means it when she says she treats every pet like her own. She gave me Quick tips on preventing my dog from pulling on the leash and the difference was almost immediately, I cannot say enough great things about her you will not regret booking her!

She is very kind and gentle when it comes to furbabies! She would go out of her way and take care of you're babies as if they were one of her own. Even if you have an anxious pup, she'll be very patient and understanding towards them in their need.
