Carla was wonderful with both of my dogs. She kept their routine and met their individual needs. They were happy and relaxed when I returned home.

Carla was great! She spent the night with my two dogs in my home. Very prompt and came prepared. My pups really seemed to take to her right away. They were well taken care of! Will definitely book again. Thank you!

This was Carla’s first stay with my pup. We did a meet and greet two months ago and then she came over about 30 min before I needed to leave for my flight to get reacquainted. Trixie didn’t seem anxious at all when I headed out. Carla kept me updated about their days, and sent photos. It made my trip so much more enjoyable knowing Trixie was in good hands. Carla was flexible with arrival and departure times, and when I got home, the house was cleaner than when I had left! And as a bonus, there was a lovely sunflower sitting in the window. What a treat when I came home to 6” of snow after a week in sunny California! And best of all, Trixie was relaxed and tired! I wouldn’t hesitate a moment to have Carla care for my pup again.

We feel so lucky to have found Carla to care for our dog Tucker. She's responsible, reliable, professional and Tucker loves her. We went on a 30 day vacation, the first time we ever left him for so long, and we were only able to do it because we trusted that he was in good hands with Carla. She kept our home impeccably clean, dealt with snow and walks in single digit weather, all with a 'go with the flow' attitude. She sent pictures and videos of our happy pup and reassured us that all was well and we were able to have a relaxing vacation, knowing Tucker was well cared for. It was also helpful that Carla works from home because Tucker is used to having someone around and didn't have to break his routine. All in all, I highly recommend Carla for your persisting needs.

Carla stayed with my three dogs for a weekend (Friday-Sunday) she was great about coming by twice for meets and to go over all of the need to knows prior to the stay. Carla was also super communicative before and during the stay to update us with how the dogs were and to send pictures of the pups. Before the stay I did go over one of our three needing to be leashed even in the back yard (Carla had asked if I meant on walks and I made sure to be clear that I meant always) and I also left a note at the house before leaving reminding the importance of this. Friday night I got an update that pup 3 must have gotten in to the pool because she returned soaking wet, which meant that she was unattended as well as not leashed, and when I said I was really glad that she was able to get out of the pool herself (typically she struggles and gets scared and we have to pull her out) Carla said she would watch her closer. Saturday Carla updated us that dog 3 had escaped the yard but was able to be lured home and that she would be leashed in the yard for the rest of the stay. Today (Wednesday) I was updated that she did get out of the yard a second time and had an altercation with one of the neighbors chickens. Which means she was still not being leashed. I think overall Carla was great, but for more challenging dogs that need clear instructions followed, it may not be the best fit. I think for the rate of pay, having instructions followed thoroughly is a key expectation

Carla was great- very easy to work with and communicative. I would definitely book her again.
