Loving Care When You’re Not There!
Pet care experience
I worked for a professional pet sitting company in Los Angeles, Sitter4Paws, for about a year, where I cared for over 150 clients including both dogs and cats. Through that experience, I learned how to administer medications, handle grooming needs, follow detailed feeding instructions, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and manage behavioral issues like anxiety or aggression. I’m confident with handling pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Aside from my professional experience, I have spent most of my life caring, raising, and training animals. Throughout the years, I have had 7 dogs, 2 cats, 6 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, and even a mouse. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 guinea pig, so pet care is truly a part of my daily life. My lifelong connection to animals, combined with my hands-on training and experience, allows me to give pets not only proper care, but also the patience and understanding they deserve. My goal is to make every animal I care for feel safe, happy, and truly loved.

Reviews
Carly was an excellent communicator. She took lots of photos of the pets and wrote up a detailed account of her visit. She asked good questions at our meet and greet which gave me confidence in that she knows what she is doing.
You can tell right away that animals are her passion. She’s looked after my cat several times now, and every visit is smooth and stress-free. She’s flexible, professional, and genuinely kind. I love that she takes time to really connect with my pet, it makes all the difference!
My cat requires lots of attention and Carly handled everything like a pro. She was gentle, patient, and clearly experienced. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pets, but she truly treats them like family. I came home to a relaxed, happy kitty and a clean litter box too!
Carly has cared for my three high energy pups multiple times, and they absolutely adore her. She knows exactly how to handle different temperaments, and her experience really shows. I never worry when she’s with them because I know they’re safe, happy, and getting tons of love!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel secure and relaxed. I closely follow any routines or instructions provided, including feeding, walks, medication, and training. I always keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort. Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me, so I provide regular updates and treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m also fully flexible on timing and location, so I can adjust to whatever works best for you and your pet
Information Carly M. would like to know about your pet
Before I care for your pet, please let me know about any behavioral quirks, special needs, or medical concerns, like anxiety triggers, aggression, medication, or routine preferences, so I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your absence.
A typical day
With dogs, I love going on walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, or giving them plenty of belly rubs and enrichment games to keep their minds active. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys like feather wands or lasers, gentle brushing (if they like it), and giving them cozy cuddle time or space to just hang out comfortably. I always adjust the fun based on their personality and energy level!
