Walks for Dogs Who Like Space
I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been a huge animal lover. I’ve had dogs of my own for many years, and I’ve always felt that animals have their own personalities, quirks and needs. I really enjoy getting to know them and figuring out what makes them comfortable and happy. I currently have two large, reactive dogs of my own, so I know firsthand that not every dog is comfortable around other dogs or enjoys the typical busy dog-walking environment. Living with reactive dogs has taught me a lot about patience, reading body language, managing triggers and, most importantly, giving dogs the space they need to feel safe and relaxed. I’ve also been involved in fostering dogs through a rescue in Thailand. Being part of their journey and helping dogs who have had difficult starts in life has made me even more passionate about animal welfare and giving dogs the patience, understanding and care they deserve. I’m starting my dog-walking service because I genuinely love spending time with dogs and thought it would be a great way to do something I enjoy while helping other dog owners in my community. I’m new to offering dog walking professionally, but I bring a lifetime of experience as a dog owner, experience with reactive dogs and rescue dogs, and a very caring and responsible approach. My walks are 30 minutes and are one-on-one, so your dog gets my full attention. I like to let dogs take their time sniffing, exploring and enjoying their walk rather than rushing them from one place to another. I’m happy to walk puppies, adult dogs and seniors, and I’m especially happy to work with dogs who prefer some space from other dogs or aren't suited to busy group walks. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person looking after your dog. I’ll treat your dog as an individual, follow the routines and instructions you give me, and keep their safety and comfort at the top of my list. I’m based in the Newmarket area and am starting with a small number of clients so I can give each dog plenty of attention. I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog and hopefully become their new favourite walking buddy!

Safety, trust & environment
My services are currently focused exclusively on dog walking, so I do not provide boarding or pet sitting in my home or in clients’ homes. For dog walks, I provide one-on-one, 30-minute walks where your dog gets my full attention. I’ll follow your instructions regarding your dog’s leash, harness, walking routine and any specific needs or preferences. I’m happy to let dogs set their own pace, stop and sniff, and enjoy their time outside rather than rushing through the walk. Safety and comfort are my priorities. I’m comfortable giving dogs the space they need, including dogs who are nervous, easily overwhelmed or reactive around other dogs. I have two large reactive dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of being aware of triggers and reading a dog’s body language. After each walk, I’ll make sure your dog is safely back home and will provide a brief update about how the walk went.
Ratings and reviews
Carly has lived with dogs and cats all her life and loves them dearly. She has rescued large breed dogs that need a home, and given them the opportunity to have a great life. I trust her with all my animals, and can recommend her 100% to care for others.
We couldn’t be happier with Carly she is reliable, caring, and clearly loves spending time with dog.. Our dog is always excited to see her, and we have complete peace of mind knowing he's in such good hands. Communication is excellent, and we always know our pup is getting plenty of attention and exercise. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!
I can’t recommend Carly highly enough to care for your pets. She is incredibly warm, loving, caring, and genuinely connects with animals in a way that you can see immediately. Her love for animals goes far beyond just having pets herself — she has fostered dogs through Soi Dog Thailand and volunteered with dog rescue at Elephant Nature Park in Thailand, which really speaks to the kind of person she is. I completely trust Carly with my own dogs and cats, and she is the person I turn to every time I go away because I know they will be safe, loved, and genuinely cared for. She always sends me regular pictures and updates, which gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re happy and doing well. Carly treats every animal as if they were her own and puts so much love and attention into their care. She is responsible, trustworthy, attentive, and truly passionate about animals. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pets the way I trust Carly. She would be an amazing choice for anyone looking for someone to care for their pets!

Schedule
I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to offer walks throughout the day and evening, and can be quite flexible with timing. It also means I have plenty of time to give each dog the individual attention and care they deserve.
