Safety, trust & environment

I exclusively offer dog walking services, focusing on ensuring your furry friend gets the exercise and attention they need. I don't provide in-home or overnight pet care, but I'm committed to giving your dog a fantastic walking experience during our time together. I'm incredibly flexible, so please feel free to let me know if there are any areas to avoid during walks, or if you have specific locations you'd prefer for me to stay around. Your preferences are my priority!

Information Caryl P. would like to know about your pet

- Any specific behavior during walks (reactive toward other dogs, shy, etc.) - Routes they particularly enjoy or areas to avoid - Bathroom habits (how often they poop) to ensure their health and comfort - Any other preferences or needs to help me provide the best care

A typical day

A typical day with your furry friend will be full of fun and care! We’ll go on walks or to the park for some fresh air and exercise, play fetch or with their favorite toys, and for pups who stay at home, there will be plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, and attention to keep them happy and comfortable. My goal is to make every day enjoyable and loving for your pet!

Loving Walks & Fun with Every Dog

Pet care experience

Hello there! I’m Caryl, and I’d love to be your go-to dog walker. I’m a recent grad currently freelancing, so my weekday availability is pretty flexible. I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for over 10 years, helping out friends, teachers, neighbors, etc. I have 2 dogs of my own, Mocha and Chanel. I also love being outdoors and going for walks, so I’d be thrilled to take your pup out for some fresh air and fun :))

Caryl went above and beyond for her walk with my dog, and she spent extra time ensuring that he was settled and had what he needed before she left our home. Highly recommend her to take care of your pups!
