Happy Safe Home with Lrg Yard

Pet care experience

Dogs have been a part of my life from the day I was born! My mom and I would take in strays and rehome. Caring for dogs has been my life's calling. I have been fostering & rescuing for over 20 yrs. I provide 24-hour supervision overnight, daycare, walking and hiking services. I am a pet parent to a 4 yo Frenchie named Pig who is friendly and welcomes new friends. I will treat your dog with love and respect the way I treat my own. I am confident your dog will feel at home here. My goal is to provide safe, reliable pet care with impeccable customer service. * UCI Grad . References upon request.

My dogs are my furry babies and I am always hesitant to leave them in the hands of someone else. But Karla made me and my dogs feel comfortable and relaxed as soon as we walked in the door. I loved how she instantly connected with my dogs and made them feel like they were in their own home. I love her set up with all the dog gates if any dog needs space and all the pictures and videos she sent made me so happy. I will definitely be using her in the future and look forward to it!

I wanted to express my gratitude to Karla and her wonderful family for taking in my two dogs and treating them as part of the family. First-timer here and I gotta say, I was quite anxious leaving them in unknown surroundings and new people. Karla eased my nerves by letting me know it was normal and promised they’d be well taken care of as her own. She was right. I got lots of pictures and updates throughout my trip and my dogs looked happy and healthy. Her family loved on my dogs as their own; sleeping with them and getting sassy as they do at home. I’m so happy to know that I have someone local that can care for my dogs when I leave to another country or take a weekend getaway. Thank you!!!!!

Karla was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos for the duration of the stay. She has a big backyard that Ella really enjoyed.

I was a bit nervous leaving my two Fur babies with a stranger after being recently introduced to Rover. All those nerves and worry went out the window quickly after Karla picking up my dogs. She was amazing with them, and I can tell they really enjoyed themselves. She sent me updates via photos or videos of the fantastic time they were having under her care. I would highly recommend her and will be happy for her to care for them in the future.

Information Karla M. would like to know about your pet

It is important to me that while 2 dogs from different homes are in my care that they are matched well. Please do not bring dogs with toy aggression or food aggression. Fearful or aggressive/reactivity issues are complex are not yet in my wheelhouse.

A typical day

I work from home and when your pup is boarding here we take 30-45 min walks to Eldorado Park twice a day. "Mi Casa es Su Casa" is how I want them to feel. Plenty of play time in a great back yard built especially for the dogs. Just know when your dogs are being boarded with me they are kept busy & active not just stuck in the yard.

Availability

*****Please note this price reflects small to medium-sized dogs with no behavior issues who can be housed with other dogs ****** I work from home with the ability to prioritize your dog in my care. My attention is on your dog! . While she/he is here you will get up to date videos/photos of dog walks & visits to the park. When your dog stays with me, I'm not just keeping him/her safe in my home ....dogs have lots of fun! My office looks out into the yard so I always have an eye on the dogs when they are outside. They have access to indoors and outdoors.
