Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I have years of experience caring for my own senior dog and giving her daily medication, so I’m really good at following special instructions and routines. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care as I do my own, and I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

Information Karla L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I'm flexible and don't mind pups that are not social as I can do my best to avoid dogs or anything that may cause stress to them.

A typical day

I love hiking and being outside so I will take your dog for fun walks and if there are any hiking trails around I'm more than happy to take your pup there too. We can also play fetch, run around, and would love to learn more about what your pet likes playing or doing.

Pet care experience

I’m a proud dog mom to my 11-year-old pup, who has been on daily medication for years. Because of that, I’m very comfortable giving pills, following special routines, and making sure pets get the care they need. I’ve also cared for the dogs of family, friends, and neighbors —everything from playful puppies to older, mellow companions. I treat every dog like family, with lots of love, attention, and snuggles, while keeping them safe and happy.

Best sitter ever! On time and great communication. She sent tons of picture updates. She did great with my grumpy dog and you could tell the other one loved her with the smile on her face in the updates. I will be using her every time I go out of town. She’s amazing!!

Karla was absolutely awesome. She has watched Poppy and Dash a couple times now and when I come home, I can tell they were so cared for, they seemed happy and worn out from their walks. Karla is very kind and response so quickly to request and of course sent plenty of lovely pictures along the adventures.
