Pet care experience

Reliable, Loving 1-on-1 Pet Care💕

Hi, I’m Carla! I offer calm, home-based dog boarding, drop-in visits, and walks in Cape Coral. I focus on caring for one dog at a time so your pet receives plenty of attention in a safe, comfortable environment. During boarding stays, your dog will enjoy daily outdoor time, playtime, and lots of companionship. My home is especially well suited for seniors, puppies, anxious dogs, or pets who prefer a quieter setting. I can also accommodate bonded pairs who need to stay together. I also provide drop-in visits and dog walks, which can include feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I do my best to follow your dog’s normal routine and provide photo or video updates so you can have peace of mind. I treat every dog like family and love building long-term relationships with pets and their owners. I’m happy to offer a free meet & greet—feel free to message me to check availability! 🐾

Carla was fantastic. Maverick really enjoyed being there and she took him on a golf cart ride to Cape Harbor, and walked around. Very attentive to Maverick.

Carla is awesome with Sky and keeps us updated on how things are going!! Sky was in great hands to help her through her anxiety of fireworks and thunderstorms while my husband and I were out of town giving us peace of mind. Thank you Carla, we appreciate you!

Schedule

Pet care blends naturally into my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I’m used to giving lots of love and attention to our own pets, so adding your pets into my day feels easy and enjoyable. I’m able to stop by throughout the day to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and happy.

Pets

A typical day

I like to make every visit fun and relaxing for your pets. Dogs can enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of affection, while cats get interactive play, brushing, and cozy companionship. I always match their energy and do the activities they love most to keep them happy and engaged.

It’s helpful for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before I board or visit. Please let me know about their feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, and any quirks or behaviors I should be aware of. I also love knowing what helps them feel comfortable, whether it’s a certain toy, a favorite spot, or specific instructions. The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, happy, and cared for.
