Availability
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m used to planning my schedule around dogs’ needs like walks, feeding, playtime, and consistent attention from my experience at Hounds Town. I also have a rescue dog of my own who requires extra patience and understanding, so I’m very comfortable caring for shy, anxious, or nervous dogs who may require more time to become comfortable. Providing calm, attentive, and reliable care is something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day.

About Karlie S.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and quality time with play or affection based on their personality. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. During walks, I prioritize safety with secure leash handling and awareness of our surroundings. I adjust each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level. Whether that’s an active walk or a relaxed stroll with time to sniff. I also send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands.
Information Karlie S. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I like to know their daily routine (feeding, walks, potty schedule), energy level and personality, any fears or triggers, medical needs or medications, behavior on walks, house rules, and emergency vet information. Having these details helps me keep pets comfortable, safe, and cared for in a way that feels familiar to them while you are away.
A typical day
When I’m with pets, I tailor activities to their personality, age, and energy level. For high-energy dogs, I love doing long walks, play sessions with their favorite toys, fetch, tug-of-war, or even light training games to keep their minds engaged. For more relaxed or senior pets, I focus on gentle walks, lots of affection, and calm companionship so they still feel engaged and cared for without being overwhelmed.

Reviews
Karlie is great with my puppy, who is quite the handful!
Karlie is a life saver! She was so kind and very responsive. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
Karlie has worked for me at the doggy daycare & boarding facility I manage for over a year now. She is quick to learn the dogs and is always eager to get down & dirty with them! She's fantastic at providing top notch care and cleaning up after our furry friends! She loves each pet as if they were her own and is always willing to go the extra mile when it comes to pet care. Anyone would be lucky to have and trust Karlie with their fur-baby's care!
Karlie is the ideal person when it comes to being a loving and responsive caregiver of pets. She has years of experience working with animals at a pet daycare/grooming chain. She also has her own dog that she adores and loves so much and takes amazing care of. She’s incredibly responsible and always poignant. Karlie is genuinely one of the best people possible for a role like this.
