Pet care experience

Perfect place for playful dogs!

*** We welcome one pet family at a time (up to two dogs) to ensure every dog in our care receives plenty of attention while keeping the environment calm and comfortable for all the animals in our home. *** Our animals: We have two friendly, playful dogs who love making new friends: a 7ish-year-old Terrier/Hound mix (35 lbs) and a 1½-year-old Rottweiler. We also have a hamster who enjoys exploring in her hamster ball, not afraid to go face-to-face with a dog. I have a 10-year-old son, and my significant other's teenagers are here on weekends, so your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles from the whole family. Our yard: Our large, fully fenced backyard gives dogs plenty of room to run, play fetch, sniff around, watch the neighborhood squirrels, and simply enjoy being dogs. Because I'm home most of the time, your pup will get frequent potty breaks. Crate: If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated while we're away or overnight, we have a crate available, so there's no need to bring your own. Otherwise, they're welcome to relax and roam freely throughout our home. A bit about me: As a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience, I understand different breeds, temperaments, and canine body language. I am also in the process of becoming a certified dog trainer.

We had a wonderful experience with Carlina! They took great care of our dog, Calvin, while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind. We received regular updates and photos, and it was clear Calvin was happy, comfortable, and well loved. They were reliable, communicative, and treated Calvin like one of their own. We came home to a happy pup, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!

Carlina took excellent care of our sweet Piper! She was great at sending texts to communicate how Piper was doing and sent pictures of Piper. Which gave us piece of mind and enjoy our trip. Excellent first time experience with Rover and Carlina!

Carlina was AMAZING! She took care of our puppy while we went on vacation. We were nervous about leaving him for so long, but Carlina assured us that she had it under control and she did! She sent us pictures of Jameson while we were on our trip which was much appreciated! We didn’t want to miss him growing up a whole week without us and she provided constant feedback (not too much, but just enough) so we knew our puppy was in good hands. We will definitely be using Carlina again on our next trip! We know he is in good hands :) Her son is also a big help and Jameson loved them both!

Schedule

I’m home most of the time! There are occasional days when I’m out of the house, but it’s rare for me to be gone all day. When I do have plans that will keep me away for longer periods, I plan ahead to make sure all of our animals, and your pets, are well cared for and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

If your dog ever feels overstimulated, I can crate my dogs or let your dog hang out with me in my room. I also feed the dogs separately and take them outside separately for potty breaks when needed. If your dog is playful, comfortable, and truly enjoys socializing with other dogs, I’m happy to let them spend time together.

Pets

A typical day

I can take them out for walks, play with them in our backyard, cuddle if that's all they care about! (because that's seriously the case for some).

16 to 40 lbs

Spayed and neutered dogs only

Please share as much information as possible about your pet, including their personality, routine, preferences, any special needs, their eating habits, whether they need personal space at times, and anything I should know about how they interact with other dogs. I also need to know how your dog does with children. My 10-year-old son is very comfortable around dogs and understands how to respect their boundaries, but I want to make sure every dog staying with us feels safe and comfortable around him as well.
