For a worry-free time away!
Pet care experience
As a dog owner, I know how it feels to take your dog to a boarding kennel, handing them off to a stranger and wave goodbye as they are taken to their secluded cement kennel, where they'll endure unnecessary stressors. You can't possibly be completely at-ease while away; That's why I'm here! I want your dog to be happy while you're away, and for you to have a worry-free hiatus! I'm a true dog lover. I know, "they all say that."It's true! This all started with a favor for a coworker. She asked me to take care of her 12 year old Golden Retriever in her home while she was away for a week. I was happy to help; it's fun for me! Since then, I've been fortunate enough to have, (what seems like) a word-of-mouth referral program established, thanks to genuinely satisfied clients. I've come to love it so much that I'd like a more consistent scheduling platform such as this! From tiny Yorkie puppies, to senior NewFoundlands, I've watched them all. I'm comfortable administering medications, accommodating special diet foods/schedules, and providing maximum amounts of scratches, cuddles, walks, early morning potty breaks, etc. I take pride in providing your dog comfort while you're away, and respecting your home and privacy (if housesitting). Your dog can stay with me in my home, the upper unit of a duplex, with my 5lb morkie. She loves all people and playing with new dogs. Or, I’m happy staying at your place, where your dog is most comfortable. While I do work full time at a media company, I live less than I mile from work and can pop in and out, or work from home on days we have dog-guests. Please let me know if you have a preference or if your dog needs extra breaks during the day! Thanks for your consideration! I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babes!
Reviews
Carly is so, so great with our senior golden retriever, Gracie! She stayed in our home for over a week and provided fabulous care not only for Gracie but in our home. She is a gem and I would highly recommend Carly for your pet/house sitting needs!
My Maltese dog immediately liked her. She was great to him. She played with him and allowed him to sleep next to her. My dog seemed very happy on the pictures she sent me. He fell asleep when we got home after a fun day with Carly and her dog. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Carly did great with our dog, cats and fish while we were on vacation! We will definitely call on her again in the future!
Carly was great with our dog Teddy! Teddy is an elderly cockapoo, has limited hearing and vision, and recently came down with vertigo right before our trip. We did not want to take him to the kennel/dog daycare that we used to take him to as the vertigo made it very difficult for him to walk, eat, and was overall a stressful experience for him due to his age-related limitations. He also needed oral medication and eardrops for an ear infection... basically just needed all-around more attention than the kennel would provide. Carly was prompt in her responses, we met up and made the arrangements for house/dog-sitting for the 12 days we'd be gone, and all was set! She gave frequent updates and sent us pictures as well! It gave us such peace of mind that he was in good care at our own home while out of the country! Carly has a clear love for dogs and cared for Teddy as if he was her own, and we will definitely contact her again for our needs!

Information Carly S. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog good around other dogs? Is there any special behaviors I should watch and accommodate for (ie. at night, one of the NewFoundlands liked to jump the fence, she needed to be leashed when it was dark out)? Is there any special needs? No breed preferences. I'm happy providing care for any.
A typical day
I am happy to provide any kind of adventures with which you're comfortable. I'm happy transporting your pet in my vehicle if a dog park adventure is requested.
