Pet care experience

All paws, claws & toe beans welcome

Hi! My name is Karla. I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your pets of all shapes, stripes, and sizes. I'm still getting started on Rover, but I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for all my life. My partner and I have one big, silly dog and two very shy cats. I also used to have pet rats and regularly ride and care for horses, so I'm comfortable with animals of all species and personalities.

We were away for a week and Karla took great care of our 2 cats! She was a great communicator which gave us peace of mind. She followed our instructions well and even helped bringing in our mail and packages. Our cats were shy and nervous around her at first but after a few days they’d totally warmed up to her and sent us the cutest pics of them. We’d absolutely book her again!

Karla took excellent care of our cat Scotty for us! She was always timely and super communicative too — we so looked forward to the photos and detailed updates she provided daily! We highly recommend her to other cat parents and will certainly book her services again :)

Karla was great! Definitely will book her again. She showed up on time, stayed the full 30 min, played with the dogs, took thoughtful photos, and made sure they got cuddles and love. She even paid attention to small details about the dogs personalities. Thank you Karla!

Karla did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! She spent time playing with her on each visit and left us a detailed summary and photos each time she came over. I would definitely hire her again!

As for me, I'm a Cornell professor without any summer obligations, so I'll be available all day, every day for taking care of your pet. You can trust that I will be reliable, highly communicative, and responsible with your pets.

Karla can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special accomodations! I am comfortable with giving medications, walking your dog in their stroller, or looking for your scared kitty under all the beds to make sure they're still thriving.
