I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets and give them my full attention. I’m available for boarding on weekends, weekday visits after 2 PM, and flexible drop-in or sitting hours depending on your pet’s needs. I love spending my afternoons and evenings walking, playing, or relaxing with pets it’s truly the best part of my day.

Loving & Reliable Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for senior dogs, energetic puppies, and cats with different personalities from playful to shy. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s routine and making them feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

Karla was absolutely wonderful with Playboi! They were professional, reliable, and treated my dog like their own. I really appreciated the daily photo updates and detailed notes on their walks and playtime. Playboi seemed so happy and relaxed when I returned home, which gave me immense peace of mind while I was away. For those who have a gentle giant in their home, I highly recommend Karla and will definitely be using their services again!" Contact this sitter
