Pet care experience

I'm a early morning person!

Hi there! I’m Karla DJ, your soon-to-be pet care companion! By day, I work at a desk with computers, so I cherish the breaks I get to spend caring for pets—it’s the perfect way to recharge! In my free time, I love DIY projects and training my own dog, Lola. I’ve been an animal lover all my life, growing up with two turtles, a guinea pig named Bobo, a Shih Tzu mix named Chucho, and a Pomeranian named Princess. Over the years, I’ve also been a rescue mom and the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. One of my favorite stories? While living in Houston, I met the sweetest rescue pup and instantly knew she was meant to be mine—that’s how Lola, my loving Carolina mix (and partner in crime!), joined my life. Now, as I train Lola at home, I’d love to extend that care to your pets too! Whether it’s a refreshing walk, a fresh bowl of water, or some extra playtime and treats, I’m here to make their day brighter. Plus, I live with my sister, so your furry friends will get double the love and attention! I can’t wait to meet your pets and help make their days happier!

Karla was amazing!! She was super responsive and sent many updates each day we were gone. Kuzco is still a puppy and can be wild at times, and she handled him perfectly. Would use her again for sure!

Our pup is always so happy with Karla and cared for so well. Wouldn’t think of having him stay with anyone else!

Karla took good care of our furry son during our time out of town. She responded to all texts we sent and sent pictures of our dog. We would for sure leave our dog with Karla again in the future. Thank you, Karla!

Our pup always has the bestest time with Karla! She is super chill with him, which helps keep him from getting too anxious in a new place.
