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!

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.
