Safety, trust & environment

Your dogs are welcome to be on the couch, bed, etc. I want them to feel as welcome and as comfortable as possible. I also have treats, toys, pet first-aid, poop bags, a dog bed, & my street is pretty quiet & chill for walks. Morningside Park is right at the end of my block, and Central Park is just a few blocks away, so it’s easy to find some green space to play & get some energy out throughout the day. Additionally, I do live on the 2nd floor without an elevator, so your dog will need to be able to manage the stairs, unless they’re 50lbs or less & willing to be carried. I know it’s scary leaving your pet(s) with someone you don’t know personally, but I’ll always treat them as if they were my own & would never feed them anything or take them anywhere, etc. unless it were approved by you. Your pet’s safety & comfort are my top priority. I’ll always send lots of photos as well so you’re never wondering about them for too long.

Information Carly M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has an allergies, treat restrictions or even requirements, & if they have any quirks to be aware of (afraid of men, people with hats or sunglasses, small/big dogs, boy/girl dogs, don’t like walking in the grass, need their food to the left/right of their water, require a release word to eat, have to walk to your right/left, have sensitive teeth for tugging, etc.)

A typical day

I’ll make sure to take your dog(s) out for walks 10-30 min depending on their needs/preferences, send tons of photos each time, and make sure at least 2 of 3 walks we go to a park & get to enjoy some green space. I’ll make sure they’re comfy at home & have plenty of toys to play with as well, getting lots of pets throughout the day.

Your dog’s new bestie

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, ranging in size from 15-110lbs. My lab/pit mix Brady recently passed in June ‘24 and although I’m not ready to adopt a new dog, I figured it would be nice to care for others in the meantime. In 2025 I fostered 11 different dogs & cats in St. Pete, FL through the Pinellas County Humane Society. Since moving to NYC, I’m looking forward to meeting new dog friends, who I’ll make sure to treat as if they were my own.

Carly took such great care of Mango! She made sure she got multiple walks in and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was my first time leaving Mango, so I was a little nervous, but Carly made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. Mango clearly felt super comfortable, she had such a good time she didn’t even miss me 😭 You can tell Carly genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I’d absolutely trust her with Mango again and highly recommend her 💛

Carly came recommended and she really delivered!! My pup had a great time with her, on regular walks and playing around the apartment. Carly kept regular communication and constant photos so I was never worried for a moment!
