WFH dog lover next to Cal Anderson!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Karlton and I'm excited to be your Rover sitter. What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and deep love for dogs. With a one-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix named Blue as part of my family, I understand the energy and care required for a young and active pup. Additionally, every other week, I have the pleasure of looking after MJ, a gentle and lovable Great Dane. I have been fortunate enough to have dogs as companions throughout my entire life, which has given me a wealth of knowledge about their unique needs and behaviors. From training puppies to providing gentle senior care, I am well-versed in handling dogs of all ages. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have been entrusted by friends in the Seattle area to watch their furry companions. This experience has allowed me to expand my understanding of different breeds and personalities, enabling me to adapt to the specific needs of each dog under my care. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I believe in creating a safe and engaging environment for all dogs in my care, ensuring they receive the exercise, mental stimulation, and love they need to thrive. Furthermore, I have experience administering oral medications to dogs, and I understand the importance of proper dosage and timing. Your dog's health and well-being are my top priorities, and I will diligently follow any medication instructions provided. When you choose me as your Rover sitter, you can rest assured that your beloved canine companion will be in experienced and caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!

I highly recommend Karlton as a pet sitter and he is my first go-to choice. He takes excellent care of Bubz, following the food and potty schedule exactly as I do at home. Karlton goes above and beyond by providing daily updates with photos or videos, giving treats, playing, snuggling (which is Cheeky's favorite), and even trimming nails. His dedication and love for animals are evident, making him an exceptional pet sitter that I highly recommend.

Karlton has watched multiple of my families animals and I can say I am more than impressed! My dogs learned a few tricks! I recommend!

Karlton is very friendly, takes amazing care of our dog, and is very attentive. He loves dogs, and is very responsible when it comes to making sure our dog takes walks and potty breaks frequently. Since he works from home, it is the perfect setup for him to always be there watching your puppy. I know that he would take amazing care of anyone else's dog as well! I can't recommend him enough!

Karlton is the most professional and kind person I know. He takes amazing care of his pooch, Winston, and I could not recommend him enough to those who are looking for a sitter for their dog! He truly treats my fur baby like his own.

Information Karlton R. would like to know about your pet

Important information to know about your dog ahead of time includes their daily schedule, potty needs, feeding requirements, any special needs or medications, bathing preferences, and their temperament with other dogs. This helps me provide personalized and attentive care for your furry friend. Your dog must get along with other dogs as my household includes a small Jack Russell Terrier mix and a Great Dane (every other week).

A typical day

A typical day with me as your Rover sitter includes multiple walks through Capitol Hill and Cal Anderson Park. We'll enjoy plenty of playtime with games and toys. We can do some simple training activities with treats you provide, or with treats I have on hand (peanut butter trainers). Your dog will also be a cherished work-from-home buddy, joining me for relaxing moments and watching TV.
