Pet care experience

Grad Student 🦡 + Dog Lover 🐶🐾

*Privately insured by Pet Care Insurance for dog walking and pet sitting!* I'm responsive, reliable, and ready to provide quality care for your four-footed family member! I've had dogs and cats in my home since I was a child, so I love spending time with animals. As a former humane society volunteer (shelter crew and dog walker), I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and ages. I treat all animals in my care as my own furry family members. I especially enjoy taking dogs for walks or trips to the park to play fetch (I am a long distance runner - I'm able to take dogs on long walks or even jogs)! I pride myself on making sure that pups in my care are safe and happy while getting quality exercise.

Karly is awesome! She was super communicative, reliable, and conscientious while taking care of my cat, which was comforting since this was my first time leaving my recently adopted fur baby. I’l definitely be reaching out to Karly when I need to travel again!

Karly was great! Very communicative and friendly, lots of pictures of our cat Spooner on each visit, and it was clear from the pictures that Spooner liked her very much and was playing, visiting, and well-stimulated. Highly recommend!

Karly was a joy to work with! Very communicative, kind, and flexible to handle unforeseen issues. The cats loved her! My cat who hides from new folks warmed up to her immediately. I would definitely recommend Karly and will be re booking with her for my next rover reservation (-:
