Pet care experience

Loads of love & attention to give

When you are away, your pet deserves extra love and attention—and you deserve peace of mind that they are having a great time. Our household of seven includes 4 humans (two adults and two kids, 13 & 17) and 3 cats. We have had cats and dogs our entire lives. For doggy daycare and boarding: Your pup can have free range of the house. Our cats are mostly disinterested in our doggy guests, but one cat may engage in play if your dog approaches her calmly. Our favorite pet sitters have been the ones who send pics and videos of our babies when we are traveling, so we do the same. Photos and videos will be sent at least twice a day to put your mind at ease that you won't get the Eyes of Betrayal when you return home. 😊

Our dog is a repeat customer of Carlea's family, and she always has a great time while there! Lots of play, hugs, kisses, and love :)

Carla and Geoffrey took such good care of Lucas. He was so happy when he came home and enjoyed his several days of rest and cuddles!

The entire process from meeting to drop off to pick up was the biggest ease of burden for trying to house my two girls for a long weekend! I got constant updates and knew my girls were in safe hands and had the best time with this wonderful family. Would highly recommend and will reach out to them again if our girls need to be babysat again :)

Carlea and her family take such great care of Coco that I plan to leave her with them every time I travel. I got several updates and pictures while I was away this time and I knew Coco was happy and safe and I could relax and enjoy my time away. Thank you, Carlea and family!

Carlea and her family were wonderful with Coco. I felt really confident leaving my dog with them. My return to Fairfax was delayed due to a passenger’s sudden illness on the train. I was concerned that my late arrival would be inconvenient for Carlea but it was not a problem. She understood immediately and everything worked out just fine. Carlea is gracious and thoughtful and I will ask her to take care of Coco again. Thank you, Carlea and family.

Schedule

One of us is nearly always home and one of my children is homeschooled, so there will be lots of attention paid to your little lovebug. Carlea is an early riser and Geoff is a night owl, so any care and feeding can easily be worked into our schedules.
