Information Karla R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog needs some special treatment or an specific time or type of exercise. Food or environment allergies! (Very important) Or maybe you and your dog has a special tradition that I can implement as well.

A typical day

We can go for walks around my neighborhood and meet new friends! I’m a truly believer that a good nap is important ;)! As well playing to catch the ball

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Karla and I WFH! This means I’m in my apartment all the time This signifies your baby will never be alone! I’m a truly believer that a good communication is the key so I will keep you post with pictures and text messages on what your furbaby is doing and how much fun we are having. I live very close to a dog park where I use to take our guests to exercise. I understand that every animal is unique and has their own personality and so excited to develop a long-term relationship with each one of them. I’m available the most of the time, i enjoy taking breaks from my work and go for walks around my neighborhood and play with my very special guests. This usually happens twice or three times a day.

Karla is outstanding — she watched my small Dachshund for almost a week and paid special attention to his diet, exercise and stimulation wonderfully. Plenty of outdoor activities, lots of indoor care, and excellent updates throughout the stay. I would recommend Karla fully!

Karla is outstanding — she watched my little Dachshund for almost a week with great enthusiasm, organization, and amazing updates/pics/videos all throughout the sit. She paid close attention to dietary and exercise needs, gave plenty of stimulation and outdoor fun, and cared for him at home closely with her. I would definitely recommend her without hesitation. Thanks, Karla!

Karla is a warm and welcoming sitter who put Oliver at ease and gave him lots of cuddles throughout his time with her. She sent photos and videos and I felt very confident he was getting good care. I look forward to booking again in the future!

Fred had a great time with Karla and Brian. He ran right to her when he first met, snuggled right in on their laps and really didn't want to come home. Karla was super communicative, really listened to Fred's list of quirks and sent fun pics of him living his best life. I have a hard time leaving him but it was so easy with Karla, I will definitely be reaching out again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
