Your Pet's Home Away from Home

Hi there, I’m excited to take care of your pets! I’ve always been a huge lover of all furry friends, and I pride myself on providing a high-affection and calm environment where your pet can feel at home. While I love the zoomies and playfulness of younger dogs, I have a very special place in my heart for senior pets. After having a Chorkie mix for 16 years (he recently passed in 2025), I understand the extra care senior pets require. I'll be honored to provide a slower pace, extra patience, a little more TLC, and administer medications, as needed. From playful pups to wise old souls, I can't wait to give your best friend the love and care they deserve! A little about the home: We have a gentle and friendly 5 year old Catahoula that welcomes all furry friends. If I step away from the house, our pet will be kept in a separate area out of an abundance of caution.

Karla was great with communication before and while watching our pup. She was friendly and accommodating with our schedule.

Myrtle loved her stay with Karla, I’ll definitely recommend and use her again. I got regular pupdates with pics and a map showing walks and her eating/ sleeping trends. Myrtle was relaxed and happy when I picked her up.

Karla was an absolutely wonderful sitter. My dog is a senior with a long list of medications and care needs. Karla was on top of everything. She sent detailed daily updates and made sure my dog felt safe and comfortable in her home. My dog came back in relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Karla and plan to book with her again very soon!

Karla is an amazing sitter! We requested her in an emergency state due to a previous sitter cancelling a week prior to our trip, and she was very quick and responsive! She sent plenty of updates for our dog throughout our trip and gave him plenty of exercise. Not only that, but our dog got so comfortable with her that for a second he almost didn’t want to leave! Will definitely book again in the future!

Karla did an awesome job boarding our 2 cats for the weekend. She was responsive and provided frequent updates and we could tell our cats were getting lots of love and attention from the photos she provided. Highly recommend for boarding!

Karla is a remarkable pet sitter and companion. She has years of experience and has always dedicated herself to the task whenever her help has been requested. Her care, wisdom and love is not lost on me, I have a dog that requires a seasoned individual with patience and consistency, she has shown him that while keeping him safe and ensuring he felt supported and loved. I cannot recommend Karla enough! Thank you for the years you dedicated to Zuko and Leo Bleu 🫂

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large backyard and a friendly Catahoula that loves playing with other pets! I've also raised 3 dogs of different sizes, so I'm comfortable with crate training and meeting the demands of small, medium, and large breeds. I have provided grooming to many doggies and love creating a safe environment with lots of positive reinforcement. All returning furry friends meet me with wagging tails!

Pets

A typical day

My favorite part of sitting is meeting the daily physical and mental needs of your pet! So, you can expect your pet to get a 30-45 minute walk every day, many cuddles at home, and play time! I'll stick to your feeding and potty schedule as much as possible. I'll send two updates each day, but can send as more or less depending on your preference.
