Pet care experience

Reliable care, flexible schedule

I currently have 2 dogs of my own that I’ve had since puppies, so I understand both the fun and responsibility that come with caring for pets. I’m especially comfortable with medium and large dogs, young and energetic dogs, and dogs who need a little patience while they get comfortable with a new person. I have experience with everything from puppy energy and leash manners to post-surgery care. I know that every dog has their own quirks, preferences, and rules, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely rather than assuming what works for my dogs will work for yours. I’m also a physician assistant; being dependable, detail-oriented, observant, and calm in unexpected situations comes naturally to me. While my medical background is human rather than veterinary, I’m comfortable following detailed medication or care instructions and paying attention to changes in behavior or condition that may need to be brought to an owner’s attention. Most importantly, I treat pets as members of the household rather than a chore to check off a list. I want your dog to get the exercise, attention, affection, and consistency they’re used to while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feedings, walks, medications, crating, and any household-specific instructions. I know many pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I’m careful to respect both their routine and your home. For pets staying with me, I have a fenced yard on an acre of land at a dead end quiet street. I have 2 friendly, higher-energy dogs of my own; I would always want to make sure personalities and play styles are a good fit before having dogs spend extended time together, and I’m comfortable using crates or separate spaces when needed. I pay close attention to secure doors and gates, leash safety, feeding instructions, interactions between pets, and any behavioral or medical concerns you let me know about. My goal is to keep things calm, safe, and as consistent with your pet’s normal routine as possible.

Carly is one of those people I trust completely with my pets. She has always been great with dogs and is really good about paying attention to their individual personalities and needs. She is dependable, patient, and very caring, and I know she treats someone else’s pets just like her own. She is also great at communicating and would definitely keep you updated while you’re away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.

Carly treats pets as part of the family. She is very tuned in to how they are feeling and what they need and takes very good care of them. I can highly recommend Carly for any needs your pets have. She will take good care of them.

Carly has watched our dog on multiple occasions and has done a wonderful job of taking care of him. Our dog is very anxious and she does a great job of meeting his needs, calming him down with lots of love and attention. Carly is also an excellent dog owner. Her dog is well trained and greatly loved. Carly is responsible, kind and will treat every animal like her own. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Carly watch their dog.

Carly is excellent when it comes to taking care of the needs of Dogs. She is great with understanding dogs needs and also redirecting unwanted behavior. She is well worth it! 10/10 would recommend.

Schedule

I currently have a very flexible schedule which gives me plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend care, and I can often be flexible with timing depending on your pet’s usual routine. I’m currently taking a couple online courses finishing my doctorate, so most of my schedule can be arranged around pet-care commitments.
