I am currently a part-time college student, so I have a lot of time to be able to check on owners pets when needed. My schedule is pretty open besides Wednesdays, but depending on the situation I can sometimes check in on them on Wednesdays.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a clients home, I make it a priority to keep them on their normal routine so they feel comfort and secure while their owners are away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding time, walks, medications, playtime, and any other special needs. Safety is a top priority of mine. I make sure doors, gates, and even leashes are secure, and I pay very close attention to every animals behavior and comfort level. I provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while respecting the pet’s individual personality and needs. I also respect the owners privacy by keeping household information private and also respecting their homes. I also try to update the owners as much as possible by providing videos, photos, and messages so they can have a peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and comfortable. My goal is to create an stress-free environment for both the owners and the pets. I want the owners to be able to enjoy their trip and not be stressed, while their pets feel safe and comfortable with me.

Information Karly S. would like to know about your pet

Before watching your pet, I’d love to know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medications if needed, and any other special instructions. Please let me know if they have any medical conditions, allergies, fears, triggers, or behavior I should be aware of. I also would appreciate knowing their favorite activities, treats, and comfort items/toys so I can help them feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away.

A typical day

I always make sure that every dog gets plenty of attention, potty breaks, fresh water, and food according to the instructions given. Throughout the day I’ll spend time playing with them, giving them so much attention and affection, and even keeping them engaged with walks and play time. I will also make sure they have opportunities to rest and feeling comfortable in the environment. In the evening, I would continue with their normal routine including dinner, potty breaks, and plenty of love before bedtime.

Treating your pets like my own❤️

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs all my life and have always loved being around them. Whenever there’s a dog in the room they are the first I greet! 2022 was when I first started pet sitting for others and have since cared for multiple dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I currently care for five different dogs regularly, including two that I watch together. Whenever there’s pet sitting, I stay in the owners home to keep their pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I make sure each dog gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime while their family is away. I also believe communication is extremely important, so I provide regular updates with photos and videos to help the owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away from their pets. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and happy until their owners return.

Karly is one of the most reliable sitters I’ve ever dealt with. She is punctual, asks questions to make sure she knows your boundaries and rules with your pet, she’s very clean and organized, and she’s very good with my dog. She sends updates and pictures frequently. And there is no doubt that my dog gets ample amount of love and affection from her. My dog loves going on walks with Karly, taking naps with her, and playing with her, and he gets super excited when we say her name. I truly couldn’t recommend anyone else besides Karly.
