Fur, Feather & Scales, Lover of all

Pet care experience

{Murry Hill/Riverside/Westside Area ONLY} I have been a professional pet sitter since 2015 & love everything about it!! My wife (Shannan) is also on Rover & has a lot of experience & love for furbabies. Having cared for our own furbabies our entire lives we have also had the pleasure of caring for friends & families babies when they need the care. I am beyond blessed to have a partner that shares the same love for ALL animals & is just as loving & capable of providing superior care for your babies while in our care. Together we have 7 dogs, 1 lizard and 3 snakes. Within the last year we lost a few animals due to cancer and age and it has most definitely left a huge hole in our lives. We were blessed with an opportunity to foster a mom & her 12 5-day-old puppies & that was an experience! Our fosters are all gone for the most part & we can now be available more for our pet clients

Karla was quick to respond when I reached out via rover. She made sure to do a visit before hand to meet our two dogs and make sure everyone was comfortable. She created a great sense of comfort that our dogs were in great hands while she dog/house sat while we were away. Received updates and photos throughout their stay with them. Will absolutely have Karla watch our pups again and would highly recommend her to others.

My wife and I are both currently working FT during the week, so this will limit our availability during the weekdays. **PLEASE NOTE: if your furbaby needs late weekday mornings, or mid-weekday drop ins, we cannot at this time.*** If you are flexible on the bedtime arrival, we can make a late afternoon drop in once we are off work. Our weekends usually afford us both much more time to spend in homes and on care visits. This is something we always discuss with the owners prior to booking. We do this as a team and love what we do!

Information Karla D. would like to know about your pet

It is important that the dog not be dog aggressive if I will be providing care in my home as we have our own dogs. If the dog has any maladaptive behaviors this MUST be disclosed prior to booking.

A typical day

Our dogs love to go on walks through our neighborhood but really enjoy playing in our large fenced in back yard with plenty of space for exercise and play. We recently built them a dog park in our back yard. It includes giant tires to climb on, a sandbox and little bridge they can go over or under.

We are both AVID animal lovers & advocates for animal rights. I believe in good communication & like to take pictures/videos throughout your pets stay to not only ease any worries that you may have but also I know just how important it is for the human spirit to see your babies while away from them!
