Safety, trust & environment

We live in a cozy apartment near plenty of walking paths. I walk our dog 3x a day and love adding in mental stimulation and playtime to keep pups happy. Your dog will be treated like one of ours—safe, loved, and relaxed. I may not have a backyard, but I make up for it with routine and attention. We incorporate play breaks, enrichment time, and provide a calm, loving home environment so your pup will never feel alone or unstimulated.

Information Karla Portillo &. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to know any special requests you may have or any concerns I should know about. I have no breed preferences and am open to caring for any dog!

A typical day

The day usually starts with a morning potty break and then feeding immediately after returning. Midday, we will go for another walk and usually some more play after returning. In the afternoon, I feed them again dinner and will go for our last walk in the evening. Every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to adjust the routine to match your pup’s schedule.

Pets

Treating yours like one of mine

Pet care experience

I have had dogs of all sizes and personalities growing up. My dog that I have now is a 3 year old salt/pepper miniature schnauzer who I’ve have had since a puppy- so I understand the importance of routine, play, and snuggle time. I had many family dogs that grew old and I took care of them in their senior years. My husband and I work hybrid so there is always someone home and your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. We both love dogs and will be able to treat your dog as one of ours during their stay with us.

Karla and Armen(sp) were great! It was Tony’s first visit and they did everything to put me ,the anxious fur mom at peace. lol Zara is sweet and easy to get along with. I’m super thankful to have found them and we hope to visit with them again soon:). They are a new addition to our rover family:)

Karla was great with our little Harley. Luckily we were able to get Karla to watch Harley last minute due to an emergency. Will use her again if we’re ever down in OC.

Karla and her husband were friendly, professional, and were able to meet all of our needs for our dog. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!
