Loving & Reliable Pet Sitter

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 an absolute pleasure to work with! She kept me updated with photos and asked questions as needed. She was also understanding when I need to extend Buddy's stay due to a flight cancellation. Buddy had a great time with her and her family.

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

Schedule

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.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I’m very attentive to routines and make sure all feeding, walking, and medication instructions are followed precisely. Whether in my home or yours, I always keep safety a top priority doors are secured, water is fresh, and pets are never left unattended. My goal is to make every animal feel secure, loved, and right at home.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I love taking dogs on mini adventures, whether that’s exploring the neighborhood, playing fetch, or enjoying time at a nearby park. I make sure they get exercise, love, and calm downtime after fun activity.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, habits, or preferences so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m flexible with routines and great with dogs who need extra patience or reassurance. Communication is key, and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully.
