KARRAMZ(no space)20 <-- Feel free to use my code to save 20$ on your first-ever Rover booking! Hi there! I’m Karlla! 🐾 My "dream job" has always been to be a full-time pet mom—but until then, I’m dedicated to treating your furry family members like my very own! With 9+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve turned my lifelong passion for animals into a specialized service for my community. What truly makes my work special is the bond I build with the pets I watch. To me, my clients’ pets aren’t just visitors—they turn into family! I treat every pup and kitty with the same level of devotion I give my own four "babies" (two dogs and two cats) at home. Why choose me for your pet? - A "Home Away from Home" Feel: Whether I'm house-sitting or dropping in, your pet becomes a cherished part of my extended family. I provide the love and snuggles they miss while you're away. - Safety & Comfort First: I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine exactly as it is to minimize any "parents are away" anxiety. Their safety and emotional well-being are my top priorities. - Experience You Can Trust: From puppy energy to senior snuggles, I’ve seen it all. Being a multi-pet owner myself, I am well-versed in different personalities and multi-pet dynamics. I offer House Sitting and Drop-In visits to ensure your pet stays comfortable in their own environment. I’d love to help your pup (or kitty!) feel safe, loved, and pampered. Let’s chat about your pet’s specific needs!

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for your pets in their own environment, my goal is to keep their stress levels low and their happiness levels high! Here is how I ensure a premium experience: - Consistent Communication: I believe peace of mind is part of the service. I’ll send you regular updates throughout the day, including photos and check-ins, so you never have to wonder how your furbaby is doing. - Routine Maintenance: I strictly follow your specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and any medication. I aim to mirror their usual daily flow so they hardly realize you're gone! - Safety & Security: While house-sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect. I ensure all doors are locked, mail is brought in if needed, and most importantly, that your pet is safe and supervised. - Quality Time: I don’t just "stop by." Whether it’s extra belly rubs for the dogs or focused playtime for the cats, I make sure they feel loved and pampered in the comfort of their own space.

We love Karlla!! My sweet old cat was happy and comfortable while we were away. She was very calm and relaxed when we got back. Karlla also took great care of our space and made sure plants were watered and hummingbirds were fed. We would absolutely recommend her and have her back for another stay. Thanks Karlla!!!

Karlla is a pet whisperer! My fur babies love her so much and will look forward to seeing her again soon. She was very communicative and took amazing pictures of our babies while we were away.

Karlla was amazing ! Let me start by saying how picky I am About dog care. From the get-go, she asked great questions made me feel very comfortable, made sure that she knew everything she needed to know to make sure my dogs had a comfortable time while I was away… I have a an old dog and one with anxiety who needs some special routines, and she killed it! I came home and my house was cleaner than when I left it. Not to mention she was able to make it work last min with a business trip I had! She was a great communicator, lots of pictures and clear communication of when she was coming and going - Really made my trust in her high and can’t wait to use her again! Thanks so much Karlla I appreciate you greatly!!

Karlla was so awesome with our new pup, Maddie! We were nervous to leave Maddie for the first time, but she made us feel comfortable while we were away. We received multiple daily updates and she cared for Maddie like we would. Our townhouse was in great condition when we got back home,. We will definitely be using Karlla again!

Karlla was wonderful!! She helped us out last minute for cat sitting over Thanksgiving. Our cat, Falkor’s not super friendly but she loved Karlla and came up to her every time she came over. We really loved the photos too, they were so cute!! We felt really comfortable leaving our cat at home and would love to use Karlla again.

Schedule

Pet care is a seamless and joyful part of my daily life! I work a hybrid schedule (Monday–Friday), which gives me the perfect balance of structure and flexibility: - Remote Days: On the days I work from home, I am fully available for frequent potty breaks, midday play sessions, and plenty of desk-side snuggles. - Office Days: On the 2–3 days I’m in the office, I maintain a very reliable routine. I coordinate my schedule to ensure I am there for all essential feeding times, long walks, and bathroom breaks. Your Routine is My Priority: I understand that pets thrive on consistency. Whether it’s a specific walk time or a precise feeding ritual, I mirror your existing schedule so your furbaby feels happy, safe, and completely "at home" while you’re away. I make sure to follow your routine/schedule for your pet to feel happy and safe.

To ensure I can provide the best and safest care for your furry friend, I ask that owners share the following details: - Socialization & Training: Because I have pets of my own, I require that dogs are well-behaved, potty trained, and get along well with other animals. This ensures a harmonious and stress-free environment for everyone! - Health & Nutrition: Please let me know if your pet has any special dietary needs, allergies, or specific feeding schedules I should stick to. - Safety Essentials: For your peace of mind and mine, please provide an Emergency Contact and your preferred Emergency Vet information prior to the stay. - Behavioral Quirks: Does your pup have a favorite toy? A fear of thunder? Or a specific "zoomies" time? The more I know about their personality, the better I can make them feel at home!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
