Loving Care & Happy Tails Guarantee

Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a deep love for dogs, I used to rescue street dogs and later joined an animal rescue organization in my hometown. Taking care of animals has always been my passion, and over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I started by helping neighbors and friends with their furry companions, ensuring they were happy, safe, and entertained. Now, I’m bringing that same love and dedication to Rover! At my home, your pup will have plenty of space to run and play in my large, gated backyard, fun playtime, and lots of cuddles. Whether your dog loves belly rubs, fetch, or just a cozy place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I treat every pup as if they were my own, because for me, dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family! 💕 Book with me, and let’s give your furry baby a stay filled with tail wags, fun, and lots of love! 🐕✨

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or yours, I ensure that every pet receives personalized care, love, and attention tailored to their unique needs. In my home, I create a safe, enriching environment where pets feel comfortable and loved, providing playtime, mental stimulation, cozy spaces for rest, and plenty of affection. I keep routines consistent, ensuring pets feel secure even when their parents are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine; feeding, playtime, and companionship, while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I understand the importance of trust and communication, so I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep pet parents reassured.

We had a wonderful experience with Karla! Honey was happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of the entire time. We truly appreciated the cuddles, outside play time, and updates she provided. Both me and Honey would happily trust Karla again.

Karla was great! Sent multiple updates throughout the stay and was very inquisitive about providing my dog with the best care possible. I don’t think he wanted to leave! Will definitely be using again and would recommend to others!

We were gone for a whole week and Karla took care of our two cats. She was so thoughtful to send photos everyday so we would know they were happy and comfortable. She and her boyfriend are such a lovely couple and you can tell how much they love and care for animals. I was afraid ours wouldn’t want to come home. I would absolutely recommend and will use her again in the future.

Karla did a great job with our two boys while we were out for a 5 night trip. She was very communicative and steady with photos and videos. Would definitely book with Karla again in the future!

Schedule

Caring for animals isn’t just part of my routine, it’s my passion. Every day, I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment for pets, whether they’re in my home or my client’s. My mornings start with feeding, playtime, and enrichment activities to keep pets happy and stimulated. Throughout the day, I ensure they receive attention, exercise, and companionship tailored to their needs. For cats, this means interactive play and quiet moments of bonding. For dogs, it includes, play sessions, and cuddles. Since I work with a flexible schedule, I can dedicate quality time to every pet in my care, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and at ease. Whether it’s a daily check-in, an overnight stay, or extended care, pet well-being is always my top priority. Your fur baby will always be treated like family. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep pet parents reassured.

To give your doggy the best care possible, I love getting to know their unique personality, routine, and special needs ahead of time! Some important details that help me provide a smooth and stress-free experience include: Daily Routine: Feeding schedule, preferred walking times, and favorite activities. Temperament & Behavior: Are they playful, shy, or energetic? Do they have any quirks or habits I should know about? Medical Needs: Any allergies, medications, or health concerns? Social Preferences: Do they enjoy other pets and people, or are they more independent? Comfort & Anxiety Levels: Do they have separation anxiety, fear of loud noises, or any triggers I should be aware of? Training & Commands: Are there any specific commands or house rules I should reinforce? My goal is to make sure your doggy feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to match their needs
