The Vet’s Kid Experienced Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I have worked at my moms veterinary clinic for a summer, and then worked at a dog boarding facility as a dog handler for a year and a half. I helped with cleaning, feeding, medicating, and letting the dogs out. I've worked with aggressive dogs as well but would prefer not to work with them. I have also watched my neighbor's and my family's dogs for days at a time. I love dogs and am very good with them. On the side, I can give baths and have worked with cats before as well. I also volunteered at a dog rescue. I have also watched my friends dog for 4 days and have cat sat within the past 3 months. Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns you may have! I also have a chinchilla and am willing to take care of other animals besides a dog or cat when needed! I have grown up around animals and have taken care of chickens, lizards, fish and more.

I’ve used Karly a few times. She’s really great with our larger dog. I would highly recommend!

Rebooked Karly because I knew she would do a fantastic job, which she did! I came home to a very happy pup once again.

Karly was very responsive whenever we spoke. She took great care of Hope. I came back to a clean home, and a happy pup - I would definitely recommend Karly to other dog owners.

Karly was professional, warm, and communicative. She took great care of our pup, and I can’t wait to work with her again. 10/10!!!!

Information Karly D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any conditions I should keep watch of and if there are any medications with special instructions! I want to make sure your dog is safe and in the best care possible. I would also prefer to meet you and your dog before and schedule a few days ahead of time!

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs to new environments to get new smells. I also would play with them and their toys and make sure they get some energy out.

I am a current master's student and have time throughout the week and especially additional time during the weekend. I am very good at being organized and I can always work remotely for school and make sure your pet is my top priority. I will send photos and videos and text messages and anything else you would want or need while you are away from your pup. I love dogs and only want the best care for them, something I can provide!
