Pet care experience

Loving, caring, and active!

Growing up, I had a Fox Terrier and a German Shepherd (Bronzy & Leia). There is no better feeling than watching them grow, teaching them commands, & having them by your side. In college, my roommates always had pups that I could play with and spoil! My heart was full again🥰❤ I have watched countless of pups over night, short/long stays over the years. I love all shapes and sizes and enjoy taking them on long walks (careful with Dallas sun as well). I am very observant of my surroundings and protective of any dog I am walking/taking care of. I cannot wait to meet your fur-baby! I absolutely love my apartment because there are grassy areas all around the building with disposal areas and it is a quiet & quaint neighborhood. The Katy Trail and some awesome parks are also nearby for longer walks.

Karla came by for a meet and greet after I booked her last minute, and my dogs immediately ran to her! She showed them so much love and made them feel comfortable right away. She took the time to listen to everything I shared about their routines and needs, was very flexible, and sent photos throughout her stay. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Karla again! 🐾💕

We were able to book Karla through Rover at the last minute when our usual house sitter wasn’t available, and we’re so glad we found her! She was quick to respond and incredibly accommodating with all of our requests. Karla took great care of our pups, kept them company, and sent us frequent pictures and updates throughout our time away. We felt completely at ease knowing both our pups and our home were in great hands. Karla is a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter, and we would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

I wish I could leave Karla 10 stars because she deserves it! She helped us out in a pinch and was so flexible but most importantly she was caring and sweet to our two doggies. I appreciated how well she communicated. Hands down, she is the best sitter we have used through Rover. Look forward to using her services again!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment complex with easy access to grassy areas. I am observant, keep them on a leash for safety and love quality time with them. If I care for them over the weekend, I plan to spend the most time with them, going on walks at the park (if you’re comfortable with that), relaxing & cuddling! I don't mind if they are on my furniture/bed 🥰 If you don't allow yours on furniture, it will be off limits here too- I try to keep them on their same schedule and have them abide by the rules you have placed so they don't develop bad habits.

A typical day

We will go on long walks, trips to the park, and fetching/playing with their favorite toy. I try my best to keep them on the same schedule as when they are at home, in regards to feeding times/sleeping schedule, potty breaks etc.
