Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving Care for All Creatures
I have had pets my whole life- cats, chickens, fish, rats, turtles- and I've loved every one of them! With over 10 years of experience house sitting, fostering, and caring for others' pets, I specialize in providing loving, special care for every companion. From small animals and reptiles to birds, farm animals and cats- I am comfortable with them all. I am also experienced in administering medication, giving basic first aid, and preparing special diets for your animals. Since I can’t have a pet of my own right now, I’d be honored to care for and love yours like they’re my own!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I always take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I spend quality time with them, playing, talking, and making sure their needs are fully met. In my home, I place caged pets in high-traffic areas so they feel included and part of the family. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where every animal feels comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Carly was an exceptional care taker for my two 6mo kittens! She was very easy to communicate with, responsive, and respectful of my home. She was able to manage kitten chaos gracefully and sent frequent updates and pictures. I hope to book her in the future and would absolutely recommend her services.
Carly was AMAZING! She took our sweet Dolly for a week and was wonderful. She was great about communicating how Dolly was doing and sent lots of photos. We would highly recommend Carly to our friends and family. She was fantastic!
Carly stayed at our house and took great care of our dog, fish, plants, and garden! We got frequent updates on our senior pup Marley with photos of her and updates on her appetite and mood. Carly made sure to give her medication on time, walk her daily, and followed all instructions for her care as we requested. We came home to a very happy pup and a spotless house. She was incredibly thorough, responsible and communicative with us making us feel sure at ease while we were away. I would highly recommend her to others and will be booking her again in the future!
Carly is one of the most responsible, reliable, and caring people I’ve ever met! She watched by dog Huck over a few years, and I would always trust that he was in the best hands with her. Carly is also an excellent and loving chicken sitter! She has always gone above and beyond with her caretaking. She even continued to ensure my chickens were taken care of through a horrible hurricane a few years ago and made me feel a lot less worried during the situation, when I was thousands of miles away from home! Carly is also very communicative, respectful, and trustworthy. She keeps a clear head in emergencies, as she showed more than once with my animals! I would recommend Carly to anyone, any day!!

Schedule
I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, so I’m able to spend plenty of time at home with your pets on those days. Tuesday through Thursday I work in the office during the day and will be home before and after work for feeding, playtime, cuddles, and care. On weekends, I usually get out and about for errands or to spend time with friends, but I’m happy to plan around your pet’s routine and needs. I’ll always make sure we’re a good fit beforehand and that I can give your pets the time, attention, and company they’re used to while you’re away.
