Your dog's new best friend!
Pet care experience
I have owned and cared for dogs for almost my entire life (20+years). For the past 4 years, I have been dog sitting and walking for family, friends, and neighbors on a regular basis and it has been so wonderful. I have experience caring for & walking dogs of all shapes and sizes and needs.
Reviews
Carlie has been very responsive and terrific to work with!
Carlie met my dog Finley ahead of the time of her visit. She instantly bonded with my dog and provided feedback on her first visit with her. She walked her played within her in our home with Finleys favorite toys. I will definitely ask her to come able and highly recommend Carlie.
Amazing! Carlie accommodated a very last minute trip and was able to take great care of our furry friends, she brought in our mail too! We have 2 cats and 1 dog and received detailed updates. It’s very comforting to know your animals are in great hands when you travel.
Carlie has been an exceptional caregiver for our Golden Retriever, Wall-e. Carlie stepped in to help us out when we needed temporary full time care for our dog. She cared for him with the sort of loving attention that comes from having a naturally deep compassion for animals. Wall-e always looks forward to seeing Carlie, and we look forward to it too! As a note, Wall-e is dog aggressive (he had the misfortune of being attacked as puppy and never fully recovered emotionally). This means that, on walks, a firm hand is needed to ensure he isn't given the opportunity to act on that aggression. Carlie took this fully in stride and had a loving but firm personality (and the necessary strength!) to ensure that Wall-e knew who was in control and would behave appropriately. I can not recommend Carlie highly enough for any and all roles and responsibilities for anyone's beloved fur baby.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat everyone's dog as if they are a member of my own family. I follow all guidelines you have in place for your dog for their safety and mine. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood, which is perfect for a nice walk and I have a fenced-in backyard. I always carry poop bags and a variety of dog treats on me and I am always game to take your dog for a walk rain, shine, or even snow!
Information Carlie H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special behaviors (i.e. dog aggression, leash aggression, strong prey drive) or if they have any special needs (i.e. food allergies, health conditions, medications). I also would love to know your dog's regular routine as they are creatures of habit and I want them to feel as safe and as comfortable as possible. My top priority is that your dog is happy, healthy, and safe.
A typical day
I always like to start my mornings outside if the weather is nice and drink my coffee on the front porch with a dog by my side. The rest of my day with a dog usually involves lots of play time with toys, tons of pets and cuddles, and a nice long walk no matter the weather. I live in a neighborhood with lots of hills, so it is always great exercise. I usually like to end my day snuggled up on the couch with a book with a dog by my side. At bedtime, your dog is welcome to sleep in bed with me if that is what they are used to, or in their own bed or crate if that is what they prefer.

Availability
I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays and I am available pretty much every weekend, so I am able to schedule walks all day. I work full-time in NYC Tues-Thurs, but I am usually home in the early afternoons and can be available after 5pm!
