Leave Your Pets in Trusted Hands

Pet care experience

COVID Note: I will take precautions to prevent the spread of COVID by sanitizing before entering your home and engaging with your pet, and by wearing a mask at all times while in your home. I will either use my own leash or sanitize the leash after any walks. ----- I'm an energetic, engaging person who tries to match the energy level of the animals in my care. I love dogs and have been around dogs my whole life, including owning three growing up. Since then I've been a great puppy aunt to all of my friends' and family's dogs. I recently moved to Connecticut from the California. In order to get my doggy fix in CA, I volunteered as a Dog Socializer and Doggy Day Out Volunteer at the Humane Society of Silicon Valley. In this role, I learned more about dog behavior and gained even more experience about how best to meet the needs of your pooch. This includes how best to engage with shy dogs to helping some of the rowdy, jumpy dogs refocus their high-energy levels. I am confident handling pooches from tiny teacups to giant wolfhounds and am happy to care for whatever size dog or animal you have. My friends and family have always known me as an animal lover and have trusted me with a variety of animals over the years. I am comfortable providing animals with medication. Being away can be stressful when you have pets at home so I will make sure to provide you with lots of photos and updates! We will get lots of cuddling, walking (or running), and pampering in depending on the service you choose. Know that your animals are in good care with me!

I'm pretty sure if my dog could talk, he'd ask if Carly could come over and play. She was so great to Fozzie! She took him on long walks and outings and play dates. They even went for ice cream together - doggie brand for Fozzie! She took lots of great pics and updated me regularly. Fozzie was a very happy little boy and we all want Carly to come back soon!

Carly is the ultimate dog person! When you walk down the street she will notice the dogs before the people :-). She has been great with my big jumpy dog, helping to curb some of the jumpiness... And taking her on nice long walks so that she can can calm down some before bedtime. I know she has volunteered at HSSV over the years and I think her experience with the dogs there has really helped with my dog. I highly recommend Carly for watching your dog!

Carly has watched my dogs off and on over the years. They are in love with her! I know that they are in good care when she is around. Carly sends frequent updates, including lots of snuggle hiking pics. She also makes sure to take good care of the house and anything that may come up.

I've worked with Carly as a volunteer at the Humane Society of Silicon Valley for several years now. Carly deeply understands canine behavior and does a great job handling dogs all along the spectrum from shy to rude, mouthy, and jumpy. Because of her athleticism, Carly is a natural hiking, walking and running companion for dogs that need more exercise. She understands how to handle and redirect cat or squirrel chasers or dogs that are still learning their real world manners. She is also just as comfortable patiently sitting and working with the shy dog that is learning to be brave in a big world. Carly is highly responsible, keeps a house very clean, really loves the animals in her care and will provide you with the peace of mind that your treasured family member is cared for while you are away.
