Carla has been amazing. We have an indoor cat with his own feeder, who hates being boarded, so Carla has been great for coming over and petting him and helping him not feel too lonely when we're on long trips. His behavior is so much better when we return, and the peace of mind of knowing Carla will be prompt and handle anything that arises is reassuring. She has also handled feeding the fish, bringing in mail, watering plants, turning on lights, and taking photos of the pets. Also, after we moved, we were able to send her our door code last minute when we needed a check-in, and she handled it with no problem. And we also love being able to pay from a phone when we're traveling. Thanks so much Carla! read more

I am so happy with Paws UP LA. Carla and Cybele have been wonderful, and I am so grateful. I feel completely at ease when we are away, knowing that our fur babies are being well taken care of. read more

I trust NO ONE with my dogs. People always say "ya ya, my dogs are my kids" but mine REALLY are. So I take dog walking, and dog sitting VERY seriously. Last year I took a job where I was suddenly unable to work from home or return home at lunch and needed to get a dog walker. After getting some personal referrals from neighbors, I learned about Carla and Paws Up LA. Carla came to my house to meet the dogs, and we went over all the details with regards to safety of the dogs, and keeping the house locked up. I have NEVER felt uncomfortable with Carla taking care of my babies. She really goes above and beyond. She will give them medicine, change their food and water, and even swap out their puppy pads if needed. (And we have an OLD yorkie who can not hold it and doesn't have great aim, so sometimes that's quite a mess) And my dogs LOVE her. I've been there a couple of times when she's come to walk them and they totally freak out. My dogs are not the easiest to walk, but she takes all 3 of them like its no problem. I would highly recommend anyone who is needing a dog walker, but feeling a little uncomfortable with the idea of entrusting the safety of your house and babies with a stranger. She's THE BEST. read more

Cybele and her sister, Carla are the best. Sign-up process is easy and their service rates are very affordable. My staffy, Tina, has been enjoying her afternoon walk with Cybele 2-3 times a week. Cybele is great to work with, punctual, attentive and best of all, she sends me photos of Tina during their walk. I can't recommend Paws Up LA enough. read more

Our 65 lb dog does full body tail wags and LEAPS for joy when Carla comes to take him for his walk, his body language tells us everything we need to know - she's awesome. She's been walking him for over 6 months once a week, we're both working from home so it's really just been to give him a chance to socialize with other people, we adopted him during the pandemic. He has no qualms about ditching us to leave with her and he's very much like "my friend is here to pick me up, later losers". It's adorable, he doesn't get this excited about anyone else. read more

I cannot give higher praises to Carla and the amazing job she does with the animals - in my case kitties. She is my kitty sitter for life! She is diligent, friendly, loving, and trustworthy. Do not hesitate to book with her for your next outing. ... She's watched over my kitties, twice now. This past time for a week. I think my kittys love her more than me! LOL! read more

Carla is that absolute best. I have a finicky dog that doesn't get along with other dogs and is afraid of so many things-- changes in weather, skateboards, windshield wipers. I also have a super adorable easy going dog. When my family got the news that I had to work out of town for six months last year it was nice knowing that who was going to walk the dogs was the least of our worries. She sends us great photo and text updates every day, she's affordable, and incredibly reliable. Paws Up LA is fantastic! read more

Not surprised that Paws Up has a perfect 5 star rating! All the previous reviews are accurate I've left my dog Hailey with Carla several times and I could not be happier! Hailey is a very fearful rescue dog and doesn't trust easily. I have so much trouble introducing her to people much less finding a pet sitter! But Carla's demeanor is so calm and she is so wonderful with animals that Hailey felt comfortable with her almost immediately!! If you have a "special" dog like my Hailey, I'd highly recommend Paws Up. I received picture texts and emails all throughout her stays there. It was so nice to see Hailey spending her days lounging in the backyard, sunbathing or wading in the kiddie pool, not in a kennel. Last time I went to pick her up she laid on the floor at the door and didn't want to leave!!! So grateful for Carla and Paws Up!!!!!!!! read more

Carla has been walking my dog for over a year and I can not say enough great things about her. She's so thoughtful, caring and trustworthy. She always sends me an update after the walks and the BEST pictures. So grateful to have found Paws Up LA - I know that my dog is in great hands and is happy! read more

Paws Up LA - Love getting pics like this of my happy girl while I'm at work. Thanks, Carla! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Carla is a life saver!! She's been watching my sphynx cat Effy (who need a lot of extra attention) on & off for over a year now. I can tell Effy just loves her. She always fits us into her schedule too. I had an emergency a couple weeks ago & Carla graciously made time to take care of my baby even on super short notice. She always keeps everything sparkling clean in my home as well. She's great. I'd recommend her to anyone. Not to mention she takes the CUTEST photos of Effy while I'm away & sends them every time she visits. We love Paws Up LA !!! read more

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. read more

I cannot thank Carla enough for her services. Carla has been walking our dog for the past three months, and she has been absolutely amazing! She has been very flexible and accommodating with our work schedules. Also, she has been very patient with our dog, as he can be very territorial and protective of our home when anyone enters our place. We absolutely love and trust Carla with our dog in our home. The best part of it is that I get so excited to receive a text message and photo of our pup after each walk from Carla! Thanks Carla for taking such great care of him! read more

Thank you Carla for your kindness! My dog had just come out of the hospital and I needed help giving meds. Carla honestly told me that she wouldn't be able to help in my particular case, but she gave me referrals and was so sympathetic that I will happily contact her again for dog walking! read more

Thanks Paws Up! Dear Carla takes wonderful care of our cat Opal when we're out of town. She is reliable and loving and we even get pictures via texts as updates! I give PAWS UP a 5-star recommendation! Thanks Carla read more

We highly recommend Paws UP LA and Carla! We recently moved to the area with three cats and have worked with Carla twice so far. We and our kitties look forward to working with her again. Carla is a very warm hearted person. Our three kitties look very happy in the pictures Carla texts us from her visits and they are when we return. Carla does terrific work and what great service! Our kitties are on a special diet and it is a tremendous comfort to know Carla is so caring and diligent with special needs. Rates are very reasonable and Carla is very professional. We have great peace of mind now knowing that our kitties are in Carla's good hands when are away. Highly recommend to all to use Paws Up LA!!! read more

There is no better dogwalker then Cybele. She's punctual, friendly, funny and can send a dam cute picture of your pup on a walk. I have searched for the right fit for a while as my schedule is wanky, but Cybele worked with me on my times and handles my Chi-mutt with such sweet care. I feel like she "gets" him and all his confidence. Thank you Paws Up LA! read more

These are the most emphatic five stars I have ever left on Yelp. After fifteen years of entrusting my cats with a sitter, Carla is by far the most trustworthy, responsive and all around lovely person I have found. I contacted Carla last minute and she rearranged her schedule in order to fit my needs. She took wonderful care of my old girl, who is in faltering health and just had been moved from SF to LA. I was so nervous to leave for a week, but Carla sent daily updates with pictures and videos. I cannot recommend Carla enough. She is wonderful. read more

After my husband's knee surgery, we were in desperate need of a dog walker for Toby, our sweet but willful Basenji. Carla and Cybele were everything we could ask for and more. They responded quickly and efficiently to our call, came out and met with us, were extremely pleasant, reasonable and easy to deal with. But the best part was the actual walks. Every morning Cybele showed up right on time and took Toby for a brisk, engaging 45 minute walk, bringing him home tired and content. Toby got a really good daily work out, which is exactly what we wanted for him. Unlike our previous dog walkers, there was no problem with minutes being shaved off the walk and Paws Up's fee for a 45 minute walk was only a dollar or two more than the previous walkers had charged for half an hour. In short, we were delighted with Paw Up, and would use them again read more

Carla is the best! We've had her watch our cats twice, and she's amazing with them. She's even gotten pictures of our skittish cat who's usually afraid of everything (and she takes fantabulous pictures, I have no idea how since my cats are lightning fast...) It's good to know our pets are in safe hands while we're gone, and they get a bonus of having glamour shots sent to us while we're away so my OCD about them being safe isn't a worry at all! Seriously, five paws up for Paws Up LA, keep being awesome and if you're thinking about calling them, do it! Carla not only cares about your pets, I think she can talk to them....maybe. I might just be giving her super powers in my head because that would be awesome. Holly and Ross read more

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. read more

I came across Carla's company and well designed website here on yelp, and boy are we glad we did! As many (if not all) of the reviewers on yelp have also stated, Carla is the best! She did a wonderful first time job for us watching our cat Tatine for us while away on an extended weekend. Most appreciated were her communication skills....superb!!! We never had to wonder if she had visted, and she gave us regular, daily updates-including a text photo of Tatine! :) I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services and will definitely use her again!!! read more

Carla is great. She enjoys spending time with my pup, and this is all the difference. It almost doesn't seem like work for her, but more of a genuine act of care for my dog. She is dependable, thoughtful, and caring. She also texts an image of my dog after she walks him. You get peace of mind when using Paws Up LA. read more

Carla is the BEST. Like many pet owners, I'm a total helicopter parent when it comes to my 4 year old Cockapoo. And Carla totally gets that. She takes all your personal idiosyncrasies seriously (how you feed your pet, any sensitive issues the pet may have when out for a walk, whatever it may be). Whenever I come home from work after Carla has walked the boy, he's tired and happy. What else could ya ask for?? Bottom line-- Carla is understanding, professional, and a dog whisperer of sorts. Only the best things to say about her from this long-time client. read more

I have three pups that I adore and find it difficult to find someone I am comfortable enough to trust them with. Carla has been wonderful and I love getting the photos and text updates of my pups during/after her visits. :) It's comforting to know that Carla loves on my puppies and takes great care of them on her visits. read more

Carla and her sister are the best. My wife and I know Mollie are in good hands whenever we leaver her in their care. Plus, Mollie gets so excited whenever she sees them, we know she is loved too. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. read more

We've used Paws Up a few times now and have been extremely pleased. Cybele is wonderful with our cat and from the pictures she texts when we're away, our cat is very happy to spend time with her. The booking and payment process is so easy and efficient. I'm very happy to have found this company! read more

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. read more

Hip hip, HOORAY for Paws Up LA!!! I am soooo happy with Paws Up - our baby kitty (ok, so she's a 14-year-old adult feline) is in the BEST OF HANDS when we go out of town. Never any worries about leaving on short notice either; our schedule is always covered by THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. Thanks for the peace of mind!!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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!! :) read more

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. read more

Paws Up LA, more like Paws Up Hooray! Carla is a wonderful friend for my rambunctious cockapoo, Cody. She comes over everyday for afternoon strolls and keeps me up to date on Cody's moods and activities. We adopted him a few months ago and were worried about leaving him at home all day during the work week. Carla has been a great help in providing Cody with much needed mid-day attention. She has been very easy to work with and is understanding and accomodating to our busy schedule. Can't say enough good things, really love the photos that we get every week and the love she brings to our pup. read more

Dependable, flexible and good with our cat, Steve, Carla was a wonderful pet sitter for us while we were away. She sent me daily text updates (with photos of Steve), which reassured me all was well at home. She was willing to work with our wet-food feeder, which can be a real pain to operate, and never made me concerned about it being too much of a hassle for her. In addition to feeding and playing with Steve, she also watered our garden and brought in the mail, which helped us tremendously. I have already recommended her to friends and hope they take me up on my suggestion, as I hope you will, too. I was very happy to work with Carla and will call her again the next time we need someone to check on our little guy. read more

Carla is the best in the business! She always takes amazing care of our dog and sends us the best pictures during her walks.

I cannot say enough about Carla & Cybele. They take care of my pup like she is their own and based upon the texted pics I get each day my dog adores them too. I took about a year break from daily walks when I was out of town for work but as soon as I returned they assured me my dog would back on their schedule. And she is! 5 days a week with added dinners in the evening. You guys are amazing. read more

Paws up LA is the absolute BEST and a dream to have taking care of our dog. They are so easy to get a hold of and have helped us immensely through a few emergencies including a very sick dog and checking in on the house and dog when our home alarm went off. Carla has been incredible with our dog, we can even tell a difference with how calm he is when we get home after she takes care of him mid-day. She sends an adorable picture, and above all else is extremely responsible. Paws up is an upstanding professional local business and it is pleasure to have them caring for our dog! read more

We love Carla! She's amazing with the dogs and they love her so much! She sends us cute texts with pictures and updates on how they're doing every time she comes to walk them. I would recommend Paws Up LA to anyone who wants a great reliable dog walker! read more
