Pet care experience

Empathetic Nurturer w/ Exotic Exp.

Welcome! I’m Karley. I’m 32, and I have a bachelor's in biblical studies and biblical counseling. I grew up with dogs, and I have pet parrots. That being said, I’m an animal person, which is why I’m also an exotic animal shelter volunteer. I’m usually the first one to notice if anything is off regarding an animal’s health, as I’m health conscious and very in tune. I’m highly comfortable with medical routines and teeth brushing. I care very much about their health and overall wellbeing. If there is ever a problem, I take action accordingly. I’m an emotionally present and affectionate caretaker, as I'm empathetic and naturally nurturing. I enjoy going for long walks or resting with an animal, depending on their individual needs. I’ve owned animals of all ages. I’m happy to care for different kinds of animals and love every one of them dearly. I cater to the needs of my plants with great care, and I’d be happy to do the same for you during visits if requested. I’m also happy to assist with gathering mail and taking out the trash. I make sure to have clean stays, as I care about taking care of things in general. I wholeheartedly look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m more than happy to send you picture updates, as I take several pictures of animals for fun on a daily basis. If your pets are shy, I’ll understand and go at their pace. Either way, your pets will know they’re loved and cared for by me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

It's a good habit of mine to watch animals while they're outside, and I enjoy being outside with them as well. I frequently double-check things such as locks and stove knobs. I care about the safety and health of your pets, so I will care for them as if they're my own. This means that I care for animals thoroughly and always from the heart. I want the best care for them as well, as I will love your pet.

Karley was patient and kind with my fur baby and treated him as her own. Any questions and Karley was quick with responses. She sent me photos of him during his stay with her.

I have to recommend Karley very highly. She is very gentle with the dogs and the home setting is something that I appreciate! It is much better than some of the commercial dog boarding businesses that I have used. She works very hard to make the dogs feel comfortable.

Karley grew up in a household that loves dogs and made many great childhood memories with her beloved dachshund, Sweetie. She continues to take care of the family's current dachshund duo, June and Addie, and never misses an opportunity to befriend a new canine acquaintance. Karley is trustworthy, loving, and always kind to every dog that has the pleasure of getting to know her.

Sensitive to the tiniest needs, compassionate to everyone she encounters (furred, hairy, or hairless), and truly devoted. Karley adores all animals, and once they warm up to her, they adore her so much in return. She's had experience as a pet owner for years, and meticulously looks after each one's individualities. Although she can't perform heavy-duty tasks and strenuous activities, she's one of the best in strength of spirit and kindness of heart, and will do all she can to take care of your pet to the best of her ability. You'll fall in love!

Karley has been the primary caretaker of several different dogs in her life. She is capable and understanding of how to raise a healthy dog. She will have no issue taking care of feedings of specific amounts at specific times, because she does this for our own two dogs entirely on her own. Dogs always seem to love her, because they can sense that she is gentle and good-natured. Placing your dog in the care of Karley would be a wise decision, she will treat them like family.

Schedule

I’m a part-time online tutor, so I’m blessed to have some flexibility. Caring for animals is what I love to do, so I make time for it as much as possible. I want work to revolve around the animals in my life in one way or another, and animals help keep me motivated.
