A-Plus Belly Rubs

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Karla and I can't wait to meet you and your dog! I have either owned a dog or lived with a roommate who had one almost my entire life. They are great, loving companions. In return for their happiness and unconditional love, I give them love back! I enjoy all dog breeds from the small and hyper Jack Russell Terriers to calmer and quieter Golden Retrievers. I work with children and their families at a nonprofit organization in Santa Clara County. I have only been sitting periodically, but would like to increase my bookings. I'm looking for clients in Santa Clara county, so I can sit locally and be engaged with my community. As a homeowner, I understand what it means to care for a home, and know how beneficial it is to have someone there keeping an eye on things while you're away. And, of course, traveling with pets is not always feasible, I'd be there to rub tummies and play with yarn, whatever your pets need! Dogs and cats have been in my care, one way or another for as long as I can remember. I would say that my love for all breeds and playful energy qualifies me to be a great pet/dog sitter. There have been many pets in my family since before I was born. Loving dog was part of growing up. My sister had a Black Lab and I had Poodle Collie Mix. We've also had rabbits, fish, iguanas and a turtle. I am comfortable administering medication. The administration process is different for every animal, and I am happy to do it. I'm so excited to meet you and your dog and get to know you both! Let's set up a meet and greet!

When Karla and our Portuguese water dog, Diego, first met, we could see that Karla was very comfortable with him; she made good contact with him and we could see they would be good friends. We were away for three weeks and Karla kept us regularly updated with a daily exchange of emails and photos. When we came back, the house looked very good - and so did Diego. We are very satisfied and hope Karla will be able to dog sit Diego again when we next travel. We heartily recommend her services.

Everything was in a nice, clean order when we arrived home. Doggie was happy and well cared for.

Karla is consistently on time, and she is great with our Mikey! We can relax when Karla is with our Mike!

On a friend's recommendation, we had Karla house sit with our 2 dogs, Brigette and Lucy, recently while on vacation. She did an excellent job, sent pictures almost daily of them, they were happy and well cared for, and the house, mail, etc. was handled like we had asked. We plan on using Karla again in the future and recommend her highly.

Information Karla B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dog's preferred activities and preferred times for the activities. I would like to know the medical history, favorite routes for walking and any training currently in process so that there is no break in learning. I also would love to know what your expectations for the stay are so I can provide the exact kind of care your dog needs.

A typical day

I work outside of the home during the week, so I plan to spend at lease 6 waking hours with your dog during that time. And certainly that amount and more during the weekend. We'll spend a lot of time exploring the neighborhood, playing together and enjoying belly rubs and pats. I want you to come home relaxed and stay relaxed when you arrive. I am happy to water plants, bring in the mail, clean the kitchen and do the last bit of laundry or dry cleaning you couldn't get to.
