I spend most of my time at home. I am a stay at home mom and taking care of the dogs is my full time job. My schedule is flexible, I can accept last minute bookings and extended stays. I can accept early drop offs and late pickups. You can rest assured when you leave your dog with me. I take great care of them and share pictures and/ or videos of your pup. I love dogs of all ages. I can keep them separated if needed too. My dog Cuddles is about 7-8 years old, she’s very calm and sweet. Loves to be around other dogs especially her furiends.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a tall fenced yard so dogs can go outside when needed. I offer potty breaks every 2-3 hours, sometimes every hour. They are allowed anywhere except main bedroom. All dogs sleep inside, feel free to bring your dog’s crate if he or she sleeps in a crate at night. We love walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch, bouncing ball, tug of war, belly rub time or nap time. We watch movies, listen to music, dance and spend time cooking in the kitchen. We have many toys and treats to share! We also have extra beds for comfort. If you’ll like to bring your own stuff that’s okay too! Whatever you feel like you need to let me know about your pet, please inform me. Anything at all! Your dog is my responsibility and I want to take great care of them. Please share any allergies, medication needed or anything important that I should know about your dog.

Information Karla A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your dog dislikes and loves the most. This will help make their stay with me fun and comfortable. Please inform me of any medications or allergies your dog may have. Some dogs can be sensitive and that would be important information to know too. If you think your dog doesn’t get along with all dogs I highly recommend we set up a meet and greet that way we’re sure we are a great fit. Please no aggressive dogs. When it comes to feeding, sometimes when a dog is in a new environment they may skip a meal or two, that’s completely normal. Some dogs get homesick and miss their humans. By the second day they usually eat. Of course I’ll keep you updated on their performance. We take turns eating to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. Dogs may get a bit of fresh snacks with your permission only. These snacks are usually unseasoned meats and veggies. I usually have turkey and carrots because my dog loves those as a quick snack. No toxic ingredients will be served like grapes, onions, garlic, avocado, etc. (I’m very familiar with what dogs can’t eat). Thank you so much for considering me as your new dog sitter/walker, I hope to meet or exceed your expectations with your furkid(s)

A typical day

There are a few dog friendly parks around my neighborhood where dogs are allowed. However these parks usually require dogs to stay on leash. I won’t let them run around off leash. When they’re in my home or yard then leash/ harness is off.

Pet care experience

This is my fourth year boarding dogs in my home 🐶💕 I host doggy day care and overnight boarding services for small and medium sized dogs. A perfect place for your dog to stay while you leave out of town and need someone reliable to take care of your furbaby. I love dogs, I play with them, keep them clean and well fed. We love going out on long or short walks around the neighborhood. I’ve been a dog walker for many years and now I host dogs in my home.

Karla took good care of dog and sent pictures. She was responsive to my messages as well as flexible with pickup and drop off times. Will be glad to request her services again in future.

Left our dog for ten days with Karla. She was super responsive when we texted and flexible about pick-up which was great. Our puppy was so happy any healthy when we picked him up! Definitely will use her again!
