Happy Pets, Smart Methods!
For over 20 years, I've specialized in caring for and training dogs of all sizes, from playful puppies to seasoned adults. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding canine behavior and psychology, ensuring I meet each dog’s unique needs. My experience spans basic puppy care, advanced training, and managing reactivity in challenging dogs. With a flexible schedule, I am dedicated to providing personalized and attentive care that focuses on the well-being and happiness of your dog. I am also available for dog training services, please contact me for more details.

Safety, trust & environment
Understanding your pet's normal routine and behaviors is the first step in ensuring a safe and nurturing environment, so this will be one of the conversations we have before I work with your pet. I will minimize stress for your pet by adhering to their normal routine as closely as possible, while also providing play and enrichment activities according to your pet's needs.
Ratings and reviews
Karl is amazing! He did a great job taking care of Nala. We loved the pictures he sent and she seemed really happy and well taken care of when we got home.

20/10 experience with Karl again! Very happy I rebooked with him for my weekend trip - he took great care of my baby and my apartment while I was gone. Really appreciate having the peace of mind to enjoy my trip and relax, knowing I have someone responsible & kind taking care of my baby!

Karl was great with my cat!! Always let me know how my boy was doing and sent cute pics of him playing! Would definitely book again!

Karl was an absolute dream. He took on my emergency sitting the day of with no complaints. He followed all instructions and was sincerely such a stress relief for me. I am in his debt eternally! Thank you Karl 🥲😁😁

Karl stayed in my apartment to take care of my beagle puppy for a long weekend. He did an amazing job following the puppy routine I created. Karl even asked about my training goals and kept up with them. My doorman also raved about how good of a job Karl did taking care of my puppy. (taking Saint out frequently for potty and walks)

Thanks for everything Karl! 🐶🐶We appreciate your consistency and caring for Falcon!
