I LOVE DOGS OF ALL BREEDS AND SIZES

I have always loved dogs, my parents said I couldn't get a dog until I could prove that I could take care of them so I did just that. Since then I have always had dogs. I love them all, I especially love the giant friendly ones. I am great with all different types of temperaments (the shy ones, nervous ones, and wild ones). I have 2 large breed dogs and 2 little dogs. One of them is none other then the crazy Belgian Malinois. I always love to get my dogs as puppies and with that comes all the fun of training. I have trained my dogs fetching, walking on a leash, potty training, bite sleeve training. I also have cared for senior dogs as well as puppies. My favorite thing to do is to just watch, I love to watch my dogs interact with other dogs. You can learn a lot by just watching dogs. I love the chaos they cause when they’re running around playing. I love watching all the different temperaments (personalities). I would love to just watch your fur babies 😁

A big thank you to Karla for the great job she did looking after Rommel and Tessa. This is the first time they have had to spend with other dogs. Karla made recommendations to me for caring and feeding them, let them play with her dogs and she loved them just like they were hers. Karla is an awesome dog sitter! ❤️

Words can’t express the depth of my gratitude for Karla. From every interaction she is so kind and caring, so understanding. She LOVES dogs and all animals. My dogs are happy and cared for with Karla and have been with her multiple times. Karla has become our forever go to.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard as well as fenced in court yard where we can play. I have 2 large dogs to keep them company as well. I have an extra room to provide a dog some space if needed. And I have 2 large crates if crating is needed. I do have 2 cats but if your dogs aren't cat friendly my house is set up for my cat side and dog side. So everyone can coexist peacefully with no fear.

Pets

A typical day

I love to take long walks at the park near my house. We play outside with toys. Then after play time we can have some cuddle time. Every dog needs downtime after running around.
