Pet care experience
I enjoy showing affection to any pet I have the pleasure of meeting. I've had cats as pets my whole life and my dog, Emmy, for 14 years. She is a senior dog, 17 years old, and still going strong! I have experience administering medication to both cats and dogs. I've had countless interactions with others' pets, and never had a bad experience. I understand how to approach dogs to make them feel safe and earn their trust.
Reviews
Karla was very attentive to our golden pup in her time of need. She was quick to respond when initially asking for her help last minute and made communication easy throughout the drop in visits. We appreciate her flexibility and timeliness. Thanks Karla!
Karla did a great job for us. The cats were well cared for, and the house was tidier than we had any right to expect. Excellent communication. She even got down on the floor to get pictures of the cat who hides under the bed!
As a new Rover.com patron I am very impressed with the care Karla K. provided for my cat Cupid. She came over ahead of time to meet him and familiarize herself with the layout of my home and I felt comfortable immediately by her friendliness and professionalism. During my time on vacation Karla texted me everyday to give me kitty "progress reports," sent photos of Cupid (under the bed mostly), and wrote a simple daily journal. He was well-fed and looked after, even if he barely introduced himself because of shyness. Karla K. will be the first one I will contact the next time I need a caregiver and will gladly refer her and Rover.com to friends and family. I am so glad that I chose this source for quality pet care and really appreciate the comforting 24-hour customer service!
Karla was so kind and friendly with both me and my pets. I will definitely be relying on her for dog walking. She was prompt, she provided updates, and she sent the cutest pictures. I also noted that my pup would get a treat and need to be placed by the water bowl and she ensures that happened as well. I'm very thankful to have found Karla!

Information Karla K. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know what your pet especially likes or doesn’t like; for example: belly rubs, being picked up, chin scratches, etc. I’d also like to know your house rules for your pet such as what furniture they can get on or when/how they earn a treat.
A typical day
There are lots of great neighborhoods and walking paths around Altoona, so I would change up our route often to keep things fun and interesting!

I'm a stay-at-home mom to a wonderful two-year-old; he is very sweet and gentle with our dog and cat at home. Our schedule is simple and flexible. It would be a joy to walk dogs and caring for other pets on a regular basis.
