Safety, trust & environment

I treat every animal like it’s my own. Safety is a priority for me. I always double/triple check harnesses and leash attachments, and make sure to use short traffic handles/shorten the leash when necessary.

Information Carly M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any specific details I need to know about your dog. I’ve worked with a variety of ages from puppy to senior dogs, and a variety of breeds. I do not prefer any specific size of dog. I love chihuahuas, shih tzus, pitbulls, mastiffs and every dog in between!

A typical day

I love dog puzzles if you have them and games beyond just fetch. I enjoy playing “hunting” where I let the dog smell the treat and then hide it in the area while they sit patiently, on my command they then get to “hunt” for the treat. My beagles especially love this game!

Pet care experience

I’m the proud owner of 2 Beagles, a previous owner of a chihuahua and I grew up with a golden lab. I’ve always connected with and loved animals, and I have been the designated pet sitter and walker for my friends and family for the last 10 years. I have referred to myself as a “helicopter mom” when it comes to my pets. But I believe it’s better to be safe than sorry especially when it comes to our fur children. I treat every animal like it’s my own and I can guarantee you peace of mind when I’m caring for your baby. Additionally, beyond a normal walk I can also offer to take your pet for a run! I was a figure skater for 17 years and now I consider myself an expert rollerblader. During the nicer months of the year I can take your dog for a run that is sure to tire them out. I have rollerbladed with up to 3 large dogs at once and frequently take both my beagles out rollerblading. The dogs absolutely love it and we go at their pace. Even the most chaotic, leash pulling dogs behave appropriately when given the option to go as fast as they want. Trust me - your dog will love it and I can handle it! Your dog will be attached to my waist belt at all times for safety, but I still grab the leash with my hand for better control. When taking care of a German shepherd and a Pitbull, I found this was the only way to get all their energy out. I guarantee your dog will come home feeling tired but so so happy!

Had a long work day away from the home. Came home to a very tired pup. Thank you for the mid day walk!

Carly did a great job! Stayed with my pup for 5 nights. O returned to a happy and tired pup. Carly kept in contact with me and sent photo updates. Will definitely be booking Carly again.

Carly is a good friend of ours and just took care of our 3 dogs for us while we were out of the country on a 2-week vacation. We’re very attached to our little fur babies so it takes a lot of trust to leave them with someone for that long, especially when we’re so far away. Two of them are high-energy husky mixes and the other is a stubborn old chihuahua so they can be a lot to handle at times. Carly did great with them though and sent us lots of lovely pictures. They had such a good time, I don’t think they even noticed we were gone! I would highly recommend Carly to anyone!
