I work a full-time remote job that gives me flexibility to stay in your home. I love using dog walks as a way to get a break from my computer, and cuddling on the couch with a pup at the end of the day.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are of utmost importance to me when watching your dog. I understand the love and fulfillment a pet brings, and it is my priority to make sure you receive updates on how your pet is doing. Pets thrive on routine, so I would stick to their routine and make sure they feel as if you never left.

Information Karla N. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences though I do like to know how your dog is with other dogs, what their signal is for wanting to go outside and what their favorite walking routes or dog parks are.

A typical day

I enjoy walks and being outside, so love taking dogs for a good trek or to a dog park if that’s part of their routine. For low energy dogs, I walk at their pace and let them sniff and enjoy their walks. I enjoy taking dogs to dog-friendly trails or the bike path, but will follow the dog’s routine and preferences.

Care for lower energy dogs

Pet care experience

I have been watching dogs of all ages in my home and in client's homes for over 18 years. I also have provided daily walks and check-ins, and am experienced with puppy training and pallative care. Please note: I have a disability that impacts my muscle strength - this does not impact my ability to care for your dog but I can only book smaller dogs and dogs with low-medium energy due to this so my profile is set for requests under 40lbs. Dogs larger than that or high energy are often stronger than I am comfortable with.

Karla was wonderful and communicative - my very shy cat Juliet warmed right up to her. I’m so grateful for her!

Karla stayed with our dog and cat over a long weekend. She sent updates on the pets and was super flexible with our schedule! The pets were so happy and cared for while we were gone! We would love to have her watch our pets anytime!
