Safety, trust & environment

I am a “by the book” pet care person. And what that means is all my furkids are up-to-date on their vaccinations. They’re all properly medicated for fleas. My dog can properly walk on a leash. He gets regular walks and regular meal time. And he has a crate as part of his routine He doesn’t jump. He knows basic commands l like: stay and leave it. I like working with families that share these pet care values.

Information Karla S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to make sure that pets are properly vaccinated and guarded against these. That they are well behaved, but they have a vet that you’ll provide their contact information in case of an emergency.

A typical day

My critter guests get a lot of playtime, regular walks, meals prepared to your specifications and most of all, a safe and loving respite while you are away! They will watched over, treated with affection and given gobs of attention like the special little beings they are.

Pet care experience

Hey there! Thanks for checking out my profile. I am a life long experienced furbaby caregiver. And I know how hard it is to leave your family member in the care of someone else. That said, I treat every pet like my own, and safety is always my number one priority. I also honor the structure, routines, and expectations owners have already put in place. I’m comfortable with pets of different energy levels, including high-energy dogs and others who need dogs who need patient, steady handling. I’m best matched with dogs who are able to walk safely on leash. I provide reliable care, thoughtful updates, and consistency you can feel good about. I am also skilled in senior care, medication administration and juggling multiple and unique dietary requirements. About my kids: I have Arlo, a 16 year old Maine Coon with Asthma. He take an inhaler. There is Nina, who has IBS and needs special food and water from a faucet. 😂 And Tosh, a 3 year old giant, high energy Pyrenees mix dog rescue who I have worked tirelessly with cultivating manners and calmness.

Karla went above and beyond my instructions and I am truly grateful. My normally very shy cat took to her quite quickly!

Karla took care of our furry family over the holidays. She was quick and easy to communicate with the whole time and went above and beyond for us when our plans had to change had to quickly schedule her for additional drop ins. She was punctual every time, including Christmas Eve and Day when the snow storm came through and even climbed 12 flights of stairs when our elevators were down. Her experience and comfort with cats were apparent immediately and confirmed when even our shyest cat found her lap by the end of our booking. Absolutely will book her for any of our future cat needs.

Karla stayed at my apartment for a week and took such good care of my cats! She was communicative the whole time and sent pictures and videos and also zoom called me so I could see the cats!
