I am currently a manager in the hospitality industry but will be leaving to pursue an education and career in animal care. My studies are 50% in class and 50% virtual so that allows me much flexibility for dog walking and sitting. I’m also in the process of virtually volunteering with a rescue on Texas as an animal adoption co-ordinator, which is fulfilling work in my free free time.

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets of all kinds since I was 5 years old. I currently have an 11 year old English Bulldog that I adopted from the shelter 6 months ago and love dearly. I am excited to begin my education in animal care (ACA) this year and ultimately join the team at the Humane Society. I have previous experience as a dog walker and am comfortable with dogs of all temperaments. Whether friendly and care-free, or nervous and reactive, I love all dogs and getting to know all sorts of personalities.

Karling was absolutely wonderful with our dog. She followed his schedule and became aware of his needs very quickly. We were able to be on vacation worry-free knowing she was taking care of our fur baby!

Karling was great! Excellent communication and updates with pictures. My cats warmed up to her very quickly - I was surprised. She really understands cats and was great staying at my place while I was on vacation. Thank you!!!!!

Karling was really amazing in taking care of Kyro. She really pampered Kyro and provided me with regular photo updates and routine tasks. I am really thankful to Karling for helping me at a last minute and doing it so great!

Karling dropped in a few times to take care of my bunny Parsley while I was gone for the weekend. She was super responsive to messages and really attentive to any specific care instructions i left for her. I felt so at ease leaving Parsley in her care, and looking at the photos and report cards Parsley seemed to be quite happy too! Thank you so much Karling, from the both of us! 🐰
