Reliable Care, Happy Tails!

Hi, I’m Karly! Choosing the right person to care for your furry family member is a big decision, and I’m here to make it easy. With years of experience fostering dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior companions—and caring for pets of neighbors, family, and friends, I bring a lifelong passion for animals to every pet I watch. What sets me apart? I treat every pet like family. My 2-year-old rescue pup is a bundle of energy and loves making new friends, and my privacy-fenced backyard provides a safe, fun space for playtime and exercise. I know how to tailor care to meet each pet’s unique needs, whether they need extra snuggles, long walks, or a patient hand. You’ll also stay connected with regular updates and photos, so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. Whether it’s a quick walk, a weekend trip, or extended care, I’ll give your pet the love and attention they deserve—because that’s how I’d want someone to care for mine!

Another amazing stay with Karly and her furball Piper. Such a relief to be able to go away for 2.5 weeks and have peace of mind knowing that my pup is happy. Many thanks!

Karly was awesome! She took such good care of our dog Cleo, and kept us updated with photos and videos and was very easy to communicate with.

Karly was so great with Flo! She sent me lots of updates throughout the week and was always so helpful and positive. She was very flexible when my flight was delayed which I really appreciated!!

Schedule

I work a hybrid schedule, going into the office three days a week—Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pet! Since I work downtown, just a short distance from my home, I can easily pop back during lunch breaks to let your pet out or give them some attention. Whether you need mid-day check-ins or longer care during my off days, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs and schedule!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. In my home, your pet will enjoy a secure, pet-proofed space with a privacy-fenced backyard for safe play. My 2-year-old dog is friendly and loves making new friends! When I care for your pet in your home, I respect your space and routines to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll follow your instructions closely, building trust and providing a safe, loving environment for your pet while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

On the days I’m at home, your pet will enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and relaxation. A typical day starts with a morning walk or backyard play, followed by midday cuddles or a play session. On my office days, I’ll pop home during lunch for a quick check-in, let them out, and give them love. In the evenings, we’ll enjoy another walk or some quiet downtime. Whether they love to play or snuggle, I’ll tailor the day to their needs and keep them happy and well-cared for!

It's important for me to know about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. This includes their favorite activities, feeding schedule, and any medical requirements or medications they may need. I also want to know if they have any specific fears or anxieties, so I can provide a calm and comfortable environment. The more I know about your pet's likes, dislikes, and habits, the better I can tailor my care to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved!
