ALL DOGS WELCOME

Pet care experience

I currently offer 30 & 60 minute dog walks and drop in visits for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. We can walk around your neighborhood, or visit a local park/trail if preferred. I work hard to make walks a fun and positive experience for my Rover dogs! I grew up caring for my family dogs and dog-sitting for friends, and now have been working professionally through Rover since 2015. I have experience as a Veterinary Technician, Certified Veterinary Assistant, and dog walker at a premier boarding facility. I am comfortable with small and large animals, shy or fearful dogs, and those with special needs or medical conditions. I am trained in small animal CPR, First Aid, administering medications and basic positive training/handling techniques. I have a lifetime of dog experience, plus volunteer experience with the behavior and socialization team at the Seattle Humane Society, and the foster care team at "PAWS". I have a special interest in rescues. I am also happy to care for pets other than cats and dogs so please feel free to reach out. If you have a very social dog or puppy - one of my dogs loves to tag along for walks with our Rover dogs who prefer the company!

This is our second time with Karly and we couldn’t be happier with her services. She is communicative, thorough, and was willing to visit our cats at a later time due to some ferry issues during the scheduled visit time. We feel our cats and home are in good hands when Karly is here. Thank you again!

Karly helped up our when we were in a pinch and checked in on our dogs for us. She sent pictures and left us notes regarding the visits. We would gladly have her take care of our dogs again.

Had a great experience with Karly! She did drop in visits for our cats for 2 weeks and always sent great rover cards with cute pictures! Thank you!

Karly was excellent with my senior dogs! I never worried about their care while I was away. 10/10 recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I require a brief "Meet & Greet" before any booking, so that I can meet your pet(s) and confirm that we are a great match! During this time we can go over care instructions and expectations.

Information Karly B. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to learn as much as I can about a dog's temperament, quirks and normal routine before booking any services. I require any health or behavioral concerns be disclosed beforehand so that I am able to provide the best care possible. I am happy to go over these topics with you during a complimentary meet and greet. I have plenty of experience with reactive dogs, dogs who aren't so sure about strangers, have special needs, etc. but in order to provide the best care I need to understand the extent of the issue. Some of my favorite walking buddies are not "perfect" dogs and I have no problem with that!

A typical day

I customize my care to the needs of your dog - whether that means a slow stroll around the neighborhood, or a brisk walk working on our leash skills and burning as much energy as possible! Drop In Visits are another perfect way to break up a long day, or provide care while you are out of town. I offer 30-60 minute drop ins which can include: feeding, potty break, a short walk, watering plants, picking up the mail etc etc.
