Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to care for pets in my home because of my own dog’s anxiety. Because of my experience with him, I am well prepared to care for pets that have anxiety, aggression, and nervousness. I am prepared to provide all of the attention or distant care that they require.

House Sitting • Aug 05, 2025

Carly communicates very well and is very responsible. Cared for my pup for a week and I never worried once. She sends fun updates with pics. Kept the house clean and tidy. I highly recommend Carly and would definitely use her again. Sweet girl!

I’ve known Carly for over 10 years and I can confidently say she is one of the most responsible, trustworthy, and animal-loving people I know. She has cared for my own pups on several occasions, and I’ve always been impressed by her love, attentiveness, patience, and genuine affection for all animals. In the early years of our friendship, we bonded over fostering dogs and she was known for providing care and support for those with special needs as well. Whether it’s taking dogs on long walks or making sure they feel comfortable and safe, Carly goes above and beyond. Any pet (and pet parent!) would be lucky to have her!

I highly recommend Carly as a pet sitter — especially for anyone with pets who are a little shy, anxious, or slow to warm up. Carly has cared for my dog multiple times, and I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. My dog can be nervous around new people and needs a calm, patient presence. Carly showed up with exactly that. She gave my pup space when needed, earned his trust over time, and managed to keep his routine consistent and stress-free while I was away. By the end of the first visit, he was curled up next to her like they’d known each other forever. Carly is super responsible, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She sent updates just often enough to put my mind at ease, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog AND a clean house!

Carly is a truly exceptional human and the kind of pet sitter every animal (and pet parent) dreams of having. She has looked after my pets multiple times over the years, and each experience has left me deeply grateful and thoroughly impressed. From the moment Carly walks through the door, animals seem to sense they’re in kind, capable hands. Whether it’s my anxious rescue dog who takes time to warm up to people or my chaos-loving cat who thrives on attention and mischief, Carly meets each animal with patience, intuition, and a genuine love that can’t be faked. She doesn’t just watch pets — she bonds with them, keeps them mentally stimulated, and ensures their routines stay consistent and comforting. What sets Carly apart is the mix of responsibility and heart she brings to the role. She checks in regularly with thoughtful updates (and hilarious pet selfies), notices the smallest changes in behavior or appetite, and leaves my home cleaner than I left it. I never once worried while I was away, and that kind of peace of mind is rare and invaluable. I truly can’t recommend her highly enough!

Carly cared for my aggressive dog with anxiety and provided him with love and comfort in my absence. Would recommend her to anyone in need of short or long term pet care for occasional or overnight visits.
