My Schedule I currently work full time, with the ability to work remotely a few days a week. This flexibility allows me to provide morning, evening, and lunchtime visits on most weekdays, and I’m typically available throughout the day on weekends. On remote workdays, I can offer more frequent check-ins and companionship for pets who need a little extra attention. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe pets feel safest and most relaxed in their own familiar space, which is why I prefer house sitting. Staying in your home allows me to keep your pet’s routine consistent and their environment stress-free. I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining a calm, clean, and secure atmosphere for your pet. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or quiet companionship, I focus on building trust through gentle, attentive care—so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Information Karla A. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care possible, I like to learn a few key things before sitting: Your pet’s daily routine (meal times, walks, play, sleep) Any medical needs or medications Behavioral quirks (fears, triggers, or habits) How they do with new people or other animals Any house rules you’d like me to follow Knowing these details helps me create a calm, safe, and familiar experience for your pet—and peace of mind for you

A typical day

Each day is shaped around your pet’s needs and routine. We’ll start with a morning potty break or walk, followed by breakfast and some playtime or cuddles—whichever they prefer! During the day, I make time for walks, mental stimulation and lots of affection. In the evening, I stick to their regular dinner and wind-down routine, whether that’s a stroll around the block or curling up for quiet time. I aim to keep things calm, comforting, and familiar—so your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away

Reliable and gentle pet care

Pet care experience

Pet Care Experience I’ve spent over 10 years caring for my own pets, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for pets through pet sitting for friends and family, which helped me gain experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s sense of comfort and routine while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I approach every pet with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique personality. My calm, observant nature helps me pick up on subtle cues—whether it’s a dog needing a bit more playtime or a cat preferring quiet companionship. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for older pets, and following specific routines. Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I adapt to meet their needs with care and consistency.

Karla was fantastic and I will definitely book her again! It was great to have her stay in my apartment with my senior girl. She sent daily photos and messages with updates and I know Fancy was very happy and comfortable while I was gone. Thank you!

Karla was wonderful with Chip and Salsa! We received frequent photo updates and felt very comfortable knowing that our dogs were happy and enjoying their time with her.

Karla did such a great job watching my boy Puck. She was able to come and stay at my place with him while I was gone and take good care of him. Everything looked great and clean when I got home. She texted me updates and pictures throughout my trip.
