Safety, trust & environment

While I live with 2 basset hounds and 2 cats, they will stay with my family in our house during my stay. They do not like to travel which is why I always hire a pet/house sitter myself!

Both the dogs and I really enjoyed having Karla as a guest in our home. She went above and beyond to ensure that our fur babies were comfortable, safe, and happy. Many thanks!

This was our first time using a pet sitter and Karla did a great job. She answered all our questions. Karla was on time and respectful of our house. She took excellent care of our dog and two cats. Karla walked our dog and played the laser mouse with all the pets. We received cute pictures of our pets also. We would definitely book Karla again in the future and recommend her to other pet owners.

Karla is amazing! My 2 dogs & 2 cats absolutely loved her (this is rare for my cat!). Karla stayed in our home & she took wonderful care of our pets and our home. She stayed in constant contact with me and sent several pictures. I can’t say enough about Karla except that she is amazing!

Thanks again Karla. You're the best. It's so wonderful knowing we have a reliable, friendly, caring dog sitter. Makes planning a get-away easy. I'm so glad we've met!

Karla did a wonderful job with Rudy. He has special needs and she was very conscientious of getting the steps to his feeding and meds correct. Rudy enjoys spending time with Karla!

I wish I could give Karla more stars. Karla watched our 3 dogs for 4 days and sent frequent pictures and updates of our fur babies. Not only did she brush them, they were super soft and fluffy, but our house was spotless when we returned. Karla told me she likes to stay busy, so she did work in our yard after checking with us to see if it was ok. It is always a huge relief to come home and find our dogs as happy and content as when we left them. We will continue to use Karla in the future and likely plan our vacations around her availability.
