Highlights
Pet care experience
I can't wait to meet your pets!
I have had as many as 9 dogs at one time in my home when I fostered a mother dog and 6 puppies along with our own 2 dogs...then 3 because we were foster failures and kept a puppy. I've watched a cat, single and multiple dogs. I love walking dogs and giving them a chance to explore their surroundings and frequently walk my own two dogs. I'm very patient with shy dogs as one of ours is a rescue who was mistreated and is afraid of everything. I am 6'-4" tall and about 200 lbs. so your active dog shouldn't be a problem. I look forward to becoming friends with your pets.

Safety, trust & environment
When I have watched pets in their homes I find that I am a little obsessive about preventing escapes. Some cats I have watched are very shy and I make it a point to find them to verify their well being rather than just check food and leave. Until I know their behavior, dogs don't go out without a leash until I've verified gates are closed, etc.
Ratings and reviews
Carl took very good care of my Shweta kitty while I was on vacation at Wisconsin dells for labor day long weekend! I highly recommend him for your pet(s)!
My 3 cats are very calm and stable when I came back home. I think they had good care.
Carl was absolutely fantastic with our 2 dogs while we were out of town.
So attentive to our cats! even the ones who persist in their efforts to hide!
If Lucy could talk we feel she would say to us as we return home, “ happy to see you mom and dad, but where is Carl?” It is wonderful to come home to a happy dog and a neat and tidy house. Thanks again Carl!
Ginger loves her walks with Carl. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I have recently retired and am enjoying finally getting a chance to fix up my house. I have no other job other than some woodworking projects that I try selling online. This leaves me a very flexible schedule with lots of time for your pet.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsCarl can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- It's very important to know if your dog is an escape artist, animal aggressive or is bothered by certain sights, sounds, etc. This is critical for your pets safety and well being. Additionally, any food allergies, preferences or concerns should be noted early on.
