Information Karla M. would like to know about your pet

Things to know: are they aggressive with other pets or on leash? Do they have allergies? Do they require certain rituals to eat i.e., belly rubs before dinner, - a certain song before bed, etc - nothing is ever too crazy for a fur baby!

A typical day

Dogs, like us, have their own personalities and interests! While some dogs enjoy a very active and playful lifestyle some prefer to cuddle up and relax with company. Totally depends on them!

Kind and responsible pet lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve worked many professional jobs that have allowed me the opportunity to work with cats and dogs from all ranges of breeds and ages. I have my own dog as well as 5 household cats! I love the joy pets bring into our lives and I enjoy caring for them.

Karla is an incredibly responsible and loving pet caregiver. She walks my dog regularly, and my dog absolutely loves her. It’s clear how much she truly cares. She’s reliable, attentive, and treats my pet like family honestly, she feels like part of ours too. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets.

I could not recommend Karla enough as a pet sitter. She is detail oriented, compassionate, friendly, and did not hesitate to meet the needs for our elderly cat. She sent pictures daily, described pet behavior and eating habits, and detailed the exercise/play our cat was engaging in. She is quick to respond to messages and easy to reach. Please consider using her services if you want your animal to be taken care of like one of her own.

I only trust Karla with my cat and lizard. My cat is not a fan of many people, but when Karla comes around my cat is automatically drawn to Karla’s calm presence. Yes, my cat allows Karla to pick her up and give cuddles. I was shocked! Karla is trustworthy, warm and friendly , and I will always consider her as first option to watch my fur babies when I’m out of town.

Karla is wonderful with animals. She took on both my hyper pups for a long weekend when my husband and I went out of town and managed them fantastically. She's patient and kind and shows love and affection for the animals she cares for. We've trusted her to watch our fur babies a number of times since then and they are always excited to see karla when she comes through the door.
