We always get a huge paws up for our services. But don't just take our word for it - see what some of our happy clients have to bark about!
We are so lucky and blessed to have Carla help with our dogs. Our dogs are well taken care of and we never have to worry as long as we know Carla will be with our "kids". No questions asked, I would not hesitate for a minute to refer Carla to anyone who needs her services. Her love for animals is evident. Thank You Carla!!

Carla is absolutely wonderful. She's very kind and caring. Our three dogs love her. My husband and I are so grateful to have found Carla. It's such a relief to have someone we can rely on to take such wonderful care of our precious dogs...we feel very confident that our dogs are safe and happy with her.

Carla is heaven sent! I had to go back to a corporate job after havig worked from home for several years. I needed a good dog walker for my baby Bella who is a very picky dog. When I first met her, she completely put me at ease. She is a very calm, sweet person, and I instantly knew she was tuststworthy and loves animals. Sure enough I was right, my dog is relaxed and calm when I get home and I love getting picture updates throughout the week. She really cares about the animals she takes care of and I am so lucky I found her! Thank you Carla!

Carla is great. Completely professional, but also flexible - which is so helpful! - and super friendly both to me and to my pooch. She also takes great photos, which always light up my day!

I've had a perfect experience with Carla/Paws Up LA so far! I have a new puppy named Alice that Carla has been walking during the day for the past few months while I am at work. She is very professional and always works well with my schedule, and she somehow manages to get way better pictures of Alice than I do! which she sends with regular updates about how their visits are going and what progress she is making. The prices are very good too, competitive with or better than anyone else I've looked at in the area. Can't recommend Paws Up LA enough!

I'm so glad to have found Carla, after having gone through a series of cat-sitters who gave up their businesses or moved away! Carla is great with my two girls, even though they're really shy around strangers. I always get text updates during her visits, including photos! I travel fairly regularly these days, and Carla is always able to watch the girls on short notice. And when I get back, the girls always look happy and relaxed, so I know they've been well taken care of and I never have to worry about them while I'm away. I'd recommend Carla in a heartbeat, and I always do if local friends are looking for a great sitter.

Carla has been a wonderful addition to my Sophie's life. I needed someone to walk my dog during my work day and Carla does just that. I love that she sends me regular pictures and updates on my little one. They definitely brighten my work day.

Paws up LA is fantastic! I am so thankful I found Carla to rescue my dog on my long work days. She doesn't just take Jacques out, she takes him on long walks to the park and always sends a picture update. I definitely trust Carla with my precious pup.
Thanks Paws Up!

We've been using Paws UP LA now for several months. Carla does an amazing job with our dog Oreo! She's always so reliable and so great to deal with. From day 1 our dog felt so comfortable with Carla just as we did. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a responsible, reliable, caring and reasonable priced service! We LOVE Paws Up LA! Thanks Carla!

We are so happy that we've found Carla/Paws Up L.A. to look after our three cats when we are away. Carla has looked after the cats for us over two different trips, and both times it was a great relief to know that she was taking such good care of them.
We have been impressed with Carla's professionalism, conscientiousness, and personal warmth from our very first contact with her. When she comes to care for the cats, she doesn't only take care of the tasks of feeding them, playing with them for a little while, and so forth, but she also pays close attention to how much and how fast they are eating each visit, how they seem to be doing emotionally, how affectionate they are, and so forth. I really appreciate that she, like us, is concerned that the cats are actually happy and comfortable while she looks after them. One of our cats is extremely skittish, but she has been patient enough with him to be one of the very few individuals who have ever earned his trust. Her observations and feedback on how they were eating helped me fine-tune the amount of food to give them on her visits. And she sent daily updates and pics of each cat so that we always knew how they were doing.
Our cats were totally relaxed when we got home from both of our trips, and that can only mean that they were very well cared for. We're going to continue to use Carla whenever we need someone to look after the cats, and we'll enthusiastically recommend her to anyone else we know with pets.

We couldn't ask for a more reliable, professional, and perfect sitter for our 3 dogs. Carla has watched our pups on 2 different occasions, and we couldn't have been happier and more at ease with her. She sent us daily text pictures/updates, and she bailed us out when our flight was delayed. We felt comfortable with her the moment we met her, and our pups (one which is shy) took to her immediately. I couldn't recommend her more!!
Jennifer M.
I feel incredibly lucky to have found Carla. She's watched our cats twice now and each time the care has been impeccable. She keeps me constantly in the loop and has genuine care for the cats. Our one cat requires medication and she has handled that expertly. She loves them and plays with them and sends me pictures via text daily! I trust her implicitly and she will be my only choice every time we leave town. She even stacks up our mail for us!! :)
Kristen M.
Carla is AWESOME!! She was referred to me by a coworker, who was delighted by how well she cared for his cat while he was away.
I am so glad I found her-- she is very reliable and flexible with scheduling, and I come home to a happy puppy every time I've left her in Paws Up/Carla's care.

Carla is amazing. I am so happy to have found her, and now going out of town and leaving my cats behind will be stress free. FINALLY. Carla sent me text updates everyday, usually with cute pictures of my cats. It made me feel so good to know someone responsible and caring is looking after my pets. She is now my go to pet sitter. So happy I found her.
Teri F.
Carla was referred to me by a great friend who met her volunteering at a dog rescue in the valley. Already a good feeling about her. She came to our home to meet our pup and they hit it off immediately. Nikola is relaxed and happy when we get home. Along with us being happy and relaxed because we know that he is being spoiled by Carla two days a week. The pricing is very good. Carla is taking care of our loved ones and she as well is doing what she loves so it's a win win situation! We highly recommend any service that Paws Up L.A. provides. So what are you waiting for? Call her.
Leslie G.
Carla is the absolute best in the business. We've used her on 2 separate occasions, and both times she's done a terrific job being a caretaker and friend to our 2 cats. Where else are you gonna find a pet sitter who texts you pictures of your animals safe, happy, and worn out from being loved on and played with throughout your vacation? And is there anything more comforting to a devoted animal owner than that kind of consideration? We recommend her services without reservation -- trustworthy and qualified to the extreme.

Carla is the perfect pet sitter. (I hesitate writing a review for fear of her getting too busy to take care of my kitties!). She is detail oriented and took great care of our two kittens when we were on vacation. When we came back, the kitties were super happy and in a great mood. I love the updates that she sends while we are away, really gives us a peace of mind. We trust her with our house as well, it was in the exact shape as we left it.
Sandy K.
Both paws up for Paws Up LA!! Carla is a gem. My rescue girl loves Carla!! Carla really takes the time getting to know your pet and she is always available to talk if you have any questions or concerns. Being a new doggie mom was hard enough, but Carla got me through the roughest part and my girl looks forward to her walks everyday!!! Thank YOU Carla!! XO - Sadie and Jess

Carla is a dream. Our 16 YO Cocker Spaniel has terrible anxiety when we go on vacation, but she managed to bond with him right off and took excellent care of him. The super shy cat even came out to visit with her, too. I cannot recommend Carla strongly enough. I am THRILLED we found her.
Brad&Will
We are so grateful for Carla at Paws Up LA! When we moved to Echo Park, we needed a daily walking service for our sweet, old Chocolate lab mix stat. After meeting with Carla, we knew the search was over. She embraced the particularities of our extra special dog, who has canine epilepsy, with the utmost degree of professionalism, and did not bat an eyelash as I described her needs- sensitive to heat, shy with other dogs, prone to eating many strange things, etc. Daily check-ins about your pet will put you at ease when you know you can't be there. What a relief. If you seek a highly professional, sensitive, and kind caregiver for your pet look no further.

Carla did a fantastic job caring for our two cats & aquarium while we were out of town recently! She sent text updates with photos that included action shots of the kitties playing and even one of the fish. She also notified us of an ant invasion in one of the cat's eating areas and took the time to move his food & water and put a stop to the ants. When we got home, my 16 year old cat was more happy & playful than I've seen him in a long time, so I know he had a lot of fun and that they got tons of attention!

It's a huge relief to know that Nora is in good hands whenever we are out of town. Carla's experience caring for cats is a big plus. Sure, we miss Nora when we travel, but we are able to enjoy ourselves just knowing that everything is going to be fine when we get home. Daily fresh food, water and litter is key to keeping Nora happy, and Nora loves spending time with Carla. It's also great to know that our newspaper and mail are brought inside every day so the house doesn't look abandoned. Paws Up is always available, and we trust Carla implicitly with our most prized possession! Carla is the BEST!!!

I feel so lucky to have found Carla at Paws Up! I travel frequently with work and it's nearly impossible to find someone to watch my dog as she is very timid and scared of strangers. She took to Carla instantly and felt right at home with her! I couldn't believe it!
Carla updates me while I am away and even sends me pictures. She is a wonderful caregiver who is passionate about her work. She is exceptionally patient and has a calming energy that really resonates with animals. I trust her completely and I know my dog does too. She can't wait to see her 'Auntie Carla' again!
Sabrina P.
Paws Up LA is fantastic -- top-notch pet care! Carla is incredibly caring and responsible, which gives me peace of mind whenever I need to head out of town. And most importantly, Nora loves spending time with Carla. It's worth every penny to come home to a happy, healthy kitty. I've recommended Paws Up LA to many friends -- Carla's a real find.
Scott M.
Harvey always enjoys a walk. He especially looks forward to taking a walk with Carla from Paws Up. Harvey knows when he's getting picked up to go on a stroll and he can barely contain his excitement. It's so fun to watch him pacing at the door, tail wagging in anticipation.
There is also a feeling of satisfaction knowing that Harvey is in such goods hands.
Cybele S.
Paws Up LA/Carla is the most responsible, conscientious and loving pet care service around without a doubt!
Knowing that Carla will come to take care of my animals gives me a great sense of peace and calm while I am out of town/at work etc. Her care and concern is just as involved and genuine as my own would be. It's rare when you can confidently walk away with your fur babies in the hands of another and not feel guilty. Carla is extremely in tuned with animals and is very gentle and kind towards them. There is no one like her. Paws Up is not just a business, caring for the well being of animals is her passion.
Paws Up is an LA treasure find!

We had just moved back to LA with our cat Opal, and had to leave town. Carla and Paws Up saved our lives by attending to Opal, who was in new strange home, with total care and love!
