I usually swim or walk dogs during the morning hours, so I highly recommend that you contact me between 1pm-9pm. My schedule is flexible and open for last minute trips. If the weather is hot, I can walk your dog before 9am or after 7pm. If the weather is nice, I can walk your dog anytime between 8am and 8 pm. I'm happy to keep your pets company for long term house sitting or for just a couple of hours.

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your dog as if they're my own. I will play with them until they're tired or just hang out with them on the couch if they're not up for playtime. I'm an athletic person, so I'm comfortable with taking energetic dogs on long walks if needed. I will send pictures of me and your dog as often as needed to give you peace of mind. I've been fully vaccinated against covid and I got a booster shot a few days before New Years Day.

Information Carly W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has any medical conditions. This includes allergies, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, etc. I need to know if they're anxious around other dogs or people so I can steer clear of them on walks. If they tend to pull on their leashes, please provide a no pull harness. This helps to prevent injuries that might happen during the walk.

A typical day

I like to play fetch, tug of war, or use a toy stuffed with treats to use up a dog's energy. I love to take walks where the dog can take in new smells around the neighborhood. I live close to Colonel Beatty Park and Squirrel Lake Park, which are dog friendly places for long or short walks. I'm also within walking distance of a dog park.

Athletic walker and fun dog sitter.

Pet care experience

I've lived with spunky dogs since I was a baby. I'm used to playing with high-energy dogs such as vizslas, but I'm happy to look after couch potatoes too! I have cared for older puppies as well as seniors. I'm comfortable with giving dogs their pills and taking them on 1-2 walks per day. I am also open to caring for cats and giving them time to play or relax.

Carly was an exceptional sitter. We have a small goldendoodle and a high energy husky mix. She not only took great care of them but when the husky had some tummy issues she went ahead and cleaned everything and bathed the dog. She was great with both of them. I would recommend Carly to anyone looking to leave their dogs in great care!

Carly is the best! She is our go to for watching our dogs when we travel. Being able to keep them in our home, where they have a routine and familiar surroundings makes it much easier on both of our dogs. We have one small elderly rescue who is still learning the basics and Carly was very patient with her. Our second dog is a large amstaff so they are an odd couple…she is great with both. She also made sure our ball python had fresh water and kept the snake’s fogger topped off.
