Pet care experience
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 one bedroom apartment in a very old building. While we welcome clients of all personalities (even those with anxiety!), if the sounds of movement from neighbors is extremely distressing for your pet, this may not be the best place for them.
Reviews
K+J thank you so much for caring for Milo! They were so kind and communicative and flexible! 10/10!
Karilla is awesome! Our pup is always happy to go stay with her and we can enjoy a stress free time knowing he is happy and well taken care of!
Karilla was great and provided pictures and updates on my dog while he was over. Everything went fine and I will certainly be looking at booking again for any future needs I have!
Very considerate and communicative, will be using their services again!

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.

Information Karilla D. would like to know about your pet
I like to know a dog’s schedule, personality or general demeanor, fears and phobias, like/dislikes, motivators, commands or training history, disabilities, medications, food preferences, and favorite activities.
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.
