Information Carlton M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My preference is for smaller dog breeds who are potty trained, socially trained to be around other pets and people.

A typical day

I like to walk outdoors frequently, so your dog will go on plenty of walks each day. I will play any of the games you instruct me to play. If they like to run after toys, balls, etc, please provide their favorite toys and I will make sure they have opportunities for play.

I was a pet owner for the past 17 years. What sets me apart is the exclusivity, attention, and care your furry family will receive. I will care for them like they are my own. Play with them. Chill with them. Rest with them, and generally keep your fur family near throughout the duration of their stay. I do have experiencing caring for senior dogs that require wearing diapers.

Carlton was great! We had to get a last minute booking and he was available over a holiday weekend. My pet came back happy and a little tired (which means he had fun!). Would definitely use him again!

Carlton was the best!!!! He and my pet, Kirby, bonded good. Carlton knew exactly what to do to make my pet feel comfortable and safe. I felt comfortable leaving Kirby with Carlton, knowing that my pet was in great hands. I highly recommend Carlton for petsitting. He is reliable and dependable.
