Highlights
Pet care experience
dedicated furbaby attention
I have over 9 years of experience as a dedicated pet owner. I've successfully managed a multi-pet household with both cats and dogs, understanding the unique needs and personalities of each individual. For the past 4 years, I have cared for family and friends pets with overnight stay and evening play-dates with my pets. My experience includes: Feeding, grooming, administering medications, and providing fresh water. I've successfully trained multiple puppies using positive reinforcement methods, focusing on basic obedience, socialization, and leash walking. Litter care: I have experience assisting with the care of pregnant dogs and their litters, including monitoring the mother's health, assisting with whelping, and ensuring the proper care and development of the puppies. I understand the dynamics of a multi-pet household and can effectively manage interactions between different species, ensuring a harmonious and safe environment for all. I am adept at observing animal behavior, identifying potential issues, and implementing appropriate solutions, such as addressing separation anxiety or destructive behaviors. Feel free to inquire on experience for special circumstances or special pet needs.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I really appreciate the extra effort Karla took to get to know my pooch Josie. She really leaned into how skittish she can be and helped her feel comfortable. Adding to my satisfaction in hiring her, Karla makes logistical coordinate super easy.

Schedule
I am able to give most attention Friday-Monday and provide more frequent bathroom breaks to pets (dogs). Tuesday-Thursday I have a more limited schedule and can only dedicate time early morning (6-830AM) and evening (after 4PM). Feedings and bathroom break must happen during those timeframes. I am open to caring for multiple pets from same household, but not from different households.
