Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced K9 caretaker!
I have lived with, loved, and cared for dogs throughout my entire life. I have been pet sitting and walking for over a decade. I have also been fostering dogs and cats for many years, so I am well versed in the care of pets of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities. I have 3 pets (2 dogs and cat), for which my love is unmeasurable, and I can assure you that I will show your animals the same love. All of my pets are very friendly to other animals and love having friends over! If your dog would rather not be around other dogs then you can just book house sitting, and I will come give them my undivided attention in your home. I have a minor in animal science from UC Davis, I have worked at a local doggy daycare, and most recently I worked at the San Diego Humane Society before moving back to Huntington Beach. That being said I am completely comfortable caring for senior animals and pets with special needs. I have personally owned an anxious and reactive dog, so I know how scary it can be to leave them with a sitter, but I can assure you that I will go at your dogs pace, and I will be extremely attentive to things like doors and gates to make sure your baby stays safe. I am also comfortable using a variety of walking/training tools (Prong, Ecollar, gentle leader etc.), so if you would like me to incorporate these into your dogs walk that is no problem. In addition, I am experienced in giving subcutaneous injections if that is something your pet needs and I am pet CPR certified. My life basically revolves around animals, and I would love to bring yours into my orbit! *** Please Note - I recently had a name change so my former reviews show a different than the name on my account. My name is Forest, but the reviews referencing "Karly" are for me, and written by my clients.

Safety, trust & environment
My yard is completely fenced, secure, and set up with the safety of dogs in mind. We also have a doggy door if your dog is used to having 24/7 access to a yard, but this can also be closed for owners who are not comfortable with it. I can also provide a large crate if your dog is used to being left in a crate at night or when left during the day (however your dog will rarely, if ever be alone).
Ratings and reviews
Forest was very attentive and caring! They made sure to keep me updated on what my cat was up to and how she was behaving.
Karly was amazing. Took great care of our pup, walked him, took him on bike rides and give him lots of love during his stay. A meet and greet was done prior and drop off and pick up were flexible. The day of pick up we got into a car accident and our pup was even dropped off to our house. Karly went above and beyond.
Beyond wonderful! Our pup Dexter has had daycare and an overnight stay with Karly and Myka! We couldn't be happier with how well Dexter was taken care of! He had a wonderful experience, and when we picked him up he was happy, but calm (which says a lot for our sometimes anxious boy). We will be asking Karly to take care of Dexter every chance we get.
Karly was prompt and communicative and took our dog Jughead on a great long walk. Thank you for your help and care of our baby!
Karly is reliable and very thorough. Highly recommend her if you want your pet to be taken care of
Karly was amazing with both my hyperactive husky german shepard boys!
