Pet care experience

I walk the walk and bark the bark!

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.

Carlton took very good care of my pup and followed all the instructions I left for her care. He also sent me updates when requested. I can tell she had a very good time with him. Highly recommended pet caregiver!

Carlton took great care of Zelda! I’d recommend his services to anyone with a dog. Zelda didn’t have many special requests, but the few she did have, he met them with no issue and went out his way to purchase treats for her!

Schedule

I mainly work from home, so I will be available to your pet for the majority of their stay. I have a lot of control over my own time, so I can tend to your pet as often as necessary. While I write, your do will be near me. When I research, they will be near. What ever I do throughout the day, they will be near.

Safety, trust & environment

Your fur family will be a part of my own. I have a lot of space for your dog to roam indoors. A dog park shortly outside of my door, and plenty of space to take your fur family on long walks. I do not have any children or other animals inside of our home and will only watch one fur baby at a time. It will always be me, my wife, and your fur family in the home. When we do leave the house, your furry family will be crated for its own safety. Please provide your own crate.

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.

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.
