Professional Trainer & New Bestie!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name's Harlow. (You may see my testimonials under a different name, I had my name changed.) I'm a professional pet care assistant. I'd love to meet your fur family in an interview! During my - or your pet's - stays I go on adventures with your pet. I provide house-sitting, boarding, and 'daycare' daytime outings. My Background: I'd worked in the animal care field for about 5 years before I chose to work independently. I started working at a labrador breeding/training facility, getting the ins and outs of very basic veterinary care, breeding, and puppy/adult dog training. I'd gotten curious about working in the veterinary field, and gave it a go for about a year. While working at the two clinics I was doing dog training on the side and chose to make it my full-time job. I loved my time working with lots of animals at once but I found one-on-one attention to a small pack is the most rewarding. Expertise: Most of my training experience is with medium to large sized dogs (Labs, GSD, Bully Breeds). I have no breed restriction to my training services, I've tamed many-a territorial Chihuahuas. My training consists of three subjects, Obedience (sit, down, stay), Leash Training (No pulling, less reactivity), and Behavioral Correction(Decrease anxiety, no jumping, etc). Ask me about my availability, service interviews, or training today!
Reviews
Harlow was great with our dog Spud! She took good care of our house, as well. Highly recommend!
Both Rex and Pugsley liked Carly right off the bat! Thanks for walking with the pups
Carly was so great with our dog Hank! We feel so fortunate to have met her and tried ROVER for the first time. Already have our next sitting scheduled with Carly. Dog and cat were well taken care of and our home was left very clean.
Carly stayed with our dog Hank this past weekend for the 2nd time.....and we come home to a very happy doggie! She is very appreciated by us!

Working with animals is my full-time job. Your pooch will receive my full attention, day in and day out. I put special attention to their mental and physical stimulation. Pet Sitting: - Perfect for the finicky pooch. I offer house-sitting to pets with social anxiety, general anxiety, and dog aggression. At home, I love to snuggle up and play ball at home with your pooch. If you or your pet are inclined I love offering varied types of training during my stay. Ask about obedience, behavioral correction, or manners training! Dog Boarding: - Boarding your pet with me entails quite the adventure! Your dog(s) and I will have a blast spending the day outdoors; our favorite hiking spots are Point Mori and Pacifica's beaches. In the evening we relax at my home in San Mateo, getting well-needed rest from the day's fun. Daycare/Outtings: - Looking for your dog(s) to blow off some steam? Your pet is more than welcome to join our adventures and outings pack!
