“Karlie did a great job dog sitting for us over the holidays. She was very communicative and easy going. I appreciated her daily updates with photos and videos. She was very thoughtful and asked a lot of great questions about my dog’s routine and preferences. The house was very tidy on our return, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend Karlie. We’ll absolutely be asking for her services again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and managing special dietary needs, I’ve learned how to understand and respond to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where pets feel comfortable and happy, whether it’s cuddles on the couch, outdoor adventures, or keeping their routines consistent while their owners are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, and playtime for pets throughout the day. I have one dog and three cats of my own, so I understand the personalities, needs, and routines of both dogs and cats. I also have an 11-year-old son who loves animals! I make sure every pet gets plenty of care, companionship, and structure, keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I prefer to care for pets in their own home or take them to places they enjoy, like the dog park. In their home, I follow their routines closely—feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions—so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. At the park or on outings, I make sure dogs get exercise, socialization, and fun in a safe and supervised environment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and loved in the environment that suits them best.
