I will treat your dog like family!
Pet care experience
Dogs are family and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your dog will get showered with hugs and kisses (I can't help myself!) and tons of petting sessions. When your dog is in my care, you will receive lots of pictures of them during our time together. It is so important to me that you see your loved one is having fun, is at ease and happy. I can handle big dogs well and have often been called a 'dog whisperer,' working with some tough clients, who may hate leashes or pull when walking. By the end of the first walk, pulling or resistance has ceased. I always have my 75 lb hound mix, Promise, along for walks and care, so your pup will have a playmate and walking buddy. She wants to be everyone's friend and gets along fabulously with other dogs - big, medium or small. I can walk up to three large dogs together using pack mentality. I am against feeding dogs people food (unless its carrots or PB) and won't ever feed your dog anything you have not provided or instructed is okay to give them. I always carry training treats with me, so pups in my care are happily rewarded for walks, going potty, and/or for listening well to commands. Of course, if your dog has special treats, I will use those instead. I can't wait to meet your furry family member!
Reviews
I have known Karlana for over 15 years. She is a true dog lover and has helped me understand my own dog better. For years Karlana has watched my dog, Frankie, when I would go out of town. Frankie would get so excited when we turned down Karlana's street. My dog knew that she was about to have a great time and be well cared for. In addition to my dog and her own dog Karlana would care for other dogs. Karlana always seem to enjoy each dogs personality. She is a great dog sitter.
Karlana is exceptional in the care and attention given to her dog or any dog that is left in her care. She is gentle but firm with her commands and generously rewards good behavior. Dogs will immediately feel at home with Karlana. We are completely at ease leaving our animals in her care. They get excited at the mention of her name. Karlana, in addition, is very trustworthy and dependable!
Karlana took the best care of our big pup, Rocky. It was so hard to leave for a week never being apart from the dog before and with him being under a year, but Karlana gave us such peace of mind. She has great energy and gave him lots of love, walks and play, regularly sending us updates and pictures. Knowing Rocky would be homesick, Karlana came to our house to care for him and was also an excellent house sitter! I would definitely use Karlana every time we need dog care. Great to know while you're on vacation the dog is enjoying one too! - Meghan A.
