I love and respect all animals

Pet care experience

I have been around and loved animals my entire life no matter the size, age or ability. I often walk my brother’s rowdy dog and take care of her (feed, bathe, love) she is a Cane Corso/German Shepherd mix. My childhood dog was a husky named Angelina, I would often walk, bathe, feed, and care for her throughout my entire childhood. I cared for her as a adult and a senior up until the day we had to let her go at the age of 20. I also have a childhood cat that I have been partially caring for from infancy to his current age of 13 I have experience with caring for many species of animals including sheep, opossum, chickens, rodents, reptiles, fish, dogs, cats and rabbits, through infancy (bottle feeding) and old age. I look forward and hope to work with many more animals for the rest of my life.

Very happy! Karla spent nearly all her time with my pups & kitty. I came home to a tidy house and happy animals. Would definitely recommend!

Karla is an exceptional pet owner and animal lover! Whenever I need someone to watch my elderly Chihuahua, she's the first and only person that comes to mind. She takes time to make the animals in her care feel comfortable and safe. I always feel safe knowing my dog or other pets are in her care.

Safety, trust & environment

If am house sitting a dog they will be walked at least 3 times a day with one longer walk, or multiple short walks a day depending on the dogs energy, health and specific needs. All walks will be at the desired time of the owner. I will follow all the instructions given by the owner. A food schedule/diet is very important to me, they will be fed according to the instructions given. I am ecstatic to meet and care for your pets.

Information Karla P. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know the dogs age, activity level, special needs, medications, their dietary restrictions, any medical conditions or anything you think I will need to know about your loved one.

A typical day

I enjoy waking up early and going on morning walks with dogs. I love to explore parks and spend time playing with dogs and take them places they love to go. I'm very attentive to body language whether it’s the need to go on a walk, play, or use the bathroom.
