Let’s go on a walk!
Pet care experience
I’m a dog lover with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide 24/7 care for your Pups. I own my own home with plenty of indoor space, a large fenced in yard, dog beds, toys and a safe neighbourhood to go on long walks. In addition to caring for my own pets over the years I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager and have fostered and rehomed a number of strays that found their way to my door. I have no formal teaching as a dog trainer but I lived for 7 years with a professional dog trainer and, in addition to helping train their pack, I assisted their work with clients rehabilitating fearful and aggressive dogs.
Reviews
I found Carly on Rover while visiting Knoxville for a few days. She was great with my dog, Primo! I live out of town but she was ok with a FaceTime and very responsive and reliable. She asked all the right questions and it’s evident she has a love for dogs! She sent updates and was responsive the entire time. Primo seemed happy and well taken care of! I’d recommend Carly for any pet sitting!!
Thank you so much for taking care of our pups! Carly was great and provided frequent updates, with photos and videos! It seemed like our pups were enjoying themselves!! Thanks again!
Amazing job taking care of my pit bull Piper. Will definitely be rebooking!! 10/10
Carly took excellent care of Riley for a second weekend visit! She is great at communicating, and we came back to a happy pup! Highly recommend!

Dogs that stay here have the run of the first floor. I have dog beds, a basket of toys (inside and out) a food and water dish that gets sterilised in the dishwasher between stays and ample treats to spoil them with. Pups that are used to sleeping in the bed room or in bed join me upstairs at bed time. I allow pets on my furniture unless that is against the rules at home, in which case I will respect your rules and snuggle them on the floor! If your dog is used to using a crate please be prepared to bring that with you as I do not have one in my home. The yard is large and fully fenced and secure. I do not leave pups outside unattended to assure safety but dogs who like to be outside will get lots of play time chasing tennis balls and lounging in the shade while I garden. Poo is picked up as it’s left for general cleanliness and sanitation. I only house one family of dogs at a time for ease and safety. There are occasional exceptions but only with explicit consent from both families and a trial intro to make sure everyone gets along well. I do not charge an additional dog rate for a second dog but each additional dog after two (third or fourth) will be a +30$ a night.

Information Carly K. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know if your pets have any special needs and details about their schedule so that I can be sure to care for them as you would. It’s also important for me to know in advance any quirks or issues around socialization with people or other pets so that I can plan the locations of walks safely and appropriately. Please have your pet UTD on shots and flea meds before contacting me. And be prepared to leave a vet contact as well as a local contact with me so that I am prepared in case of an emergency.
A typical day
I’d love to get to know your pets and find out what kind of fun is their favorite, be it fetch, long walks in the woods, running them through all of their fanciest tricks or snuggling up on the couch for belly rubs.

Availability
Because I work for myself and most of my work is done from home I am avalible to give your pets ample time and attention. It is easy for me to adjust to their particular feeding, medication and potty schedules and I am rarely gone from the house for more than 2 hours at a time. I have a pet and child free home which allows me to create a safe stay for older and anxious pets that need comfort and quiet, as well as dogs that do not play will with others.
