Former veterinary assistant/trainer
Pet care experience
I’m so excited to be back on Rover - I took some time off during undergrad, but I am now in graduate school and ready to make some new furry friends! About me - I grew up with 3 German Shorthaired Pointers named Boone, Bella, and Hugo that I helped train throughout their entire lives. I also have 3 years of experience as a doggy daycare trainer, veterinary assistant, and positive reinforcement trainer. I have experience working with senior and special needs pets and have worked extensively with all breeds. Finally - if your dog needs daily medications, I have 1.5 years as a veterinary assistant so I am trained in administering oral and subcutaneous medications.
Reviews
carlie has watched my high-energy pup twice now and i love getting photo updates while i’m out of town! :) she’s kind and responsive and i know my dog is in very good hands with her. i never have to worry while i’m away!
This was Carlie’s second time watching our dogs, and she did a great job!! I was never worried about things back home while I was away. She sent updates and took great care of everything!
Carlie did a fantastic job!! Had great communication, and came back to a clean home and happy dogs.
Carlie did a great job watching our cats while we were out of town. Will definitely use her again!

Safety, trust & environment
I live on the 3rd floor of a brand new, highly secure apartment building. I do not have any pets or roommates so your furry friend and I will have lots of one on one time to bond! I am well versed in leash and cage aggression so I know how to handle some of the trickier dogs. I am also experienced in caring for dog aggressive dogs.

Information Carlie S. would like to know about your pet
I always like to know whether your pet is good with other animals. I do not watch pets from different households together at the same time, but I do love bringing my furry friends to the dog park or out on trails. Knowing how your pup interacts with other animals helps me prepare for (or avoid) this situations. Also please let me know if you are working on any specific commands so I can try to continue that training for you while you’re away.
A typical day
As I mentioned above, I love anything that has to do with being active outdoors. I’ve always wanted a hiking/biking companion so if your pup is up for a challenge I’d love to try and tire them out! However, if your dog is more on the “chill” side, I also love curling up on the couch with a good book and a big cup of coffee!

I am currently a graduate student at UMN-Duluth, so I will be very close to my apartment all day every day. I love hiking, paddle boarding, skiing, roller blading, and pretty much anything that involves being outside. If your furry family member is up for adventure, I’d love to bring them along! I am also a big fan of staying in for a movie and a nap, though, if not!
