Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly, bubbly dog lover
I started my pet care experience by dog sitting for my coworker while he was out of town. His two lively, affectionate Shih Tzus taught me a lot about being a dog caretaker, from being prepared and adaptable to the needs of a dog to being alert and aware when we’re on a walk. My coworker’s dogs were so important to him and it was my privilege to set his mind at ease while he was away. My goal as a dog sitter is to be organized (you can never be too prepared!), always maintain good communication, and HAVE FUN because I want to become a reliable resource for my clients. Dogs are family and I am here to make sure your family is taken care of--rain or shine! Important things to note before booking: I live with my boyfriend James and he helps out with the clients sometimes. I try to arrange for you to meet both of us during a meet and greet. My space is a two bedroom apartment with air conditioning. Noise from neighbors is quite minimal though. We have a retractable screen on the front door to prevent any grand escapes. I do not have meet and greets in my home for safety, health, and privacy reasons.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Our older dog had a great stay! He enjoyed all of the attention and came home very happy.
This was Bmo’s second stay with Karilla. She was well taken care of and I received updates with photos throughout her stay. I hate leaving her but I know she’s in great hands and gets lots of love and attention with Karilla. Would (and likely will soon) definitely use her services again)!
Karilla and James gave our Lily-Girl great care and attention. We will be happy to have them take care of her again!
Great! So kind and thoughtful
Wonderful, reliable, and so kind about keeping in touch. I appreciate how far you guys went to make sure Valentine was comfortable and cared for since it was her first time with pet sitting, and we can't thank you enough for your understanding when our flight was delayed!
Sylvie had a great time with karilla! I received lots of photos and appreciated how communicative they were

Schedule
I work from home so I can maintain any schedule your pup is used to! My schedule is very flexible and I love having a lap dog to keep me company.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’m very vigilant about staying away from other dogs and avoiding any off leash areas. My neighborhood is very quiet and lovely for a walk.
A typical day
I love a dog that just wants to hang out and receive belly rubs. We’re a lounge on the couch and snuggle up in a blanket type of household. Very chill. But if your pup is more high energy and needs auto get a good walk in before lounge time we’re close to a great park, the neighborhood is very walkable, and my apartment is pretty spacious so I love a game of fetch or tug of war indoors.
