I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m able to work around your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Weekdays and weekends are both open for bookings, and I’m happy to provide consistent care for regular clients or one-time help when you need it most. I understand how important routine is for pets, so I’ll stick closely to your feeding, walking, and playtime schedule to make sure everything feels familiar while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, loving environment where every animal feels secure and cared for. I’m attentive to details, from keeping doors and gates secure to making sure your pet always has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I believe in building trust not just with pets, but with their people too. You can expect regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your furry friend is doing. Whether your pet loves playtime or prefers quiet snuggles, I adjust to their needs to keep them happy and stress-free.

A typical day

When your pet is in my care, every day is filled with love, attention, and fun! A typical day starts with a cheerful greeting and a morning walk or play session to get energy out. Meals, treats, and medications (if needed) are given on schedule, followed by cuddle time or supervised relaxation. I spend quality time engaging with toys, training exercises, or outdoor adventures, depending on your pet’s personality. Evenings are calm and cozy, with another walk or play session before settling down for the night. Throughout the day, I provide updates and photos so you can see your pet happy, safe, and well cared for!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is the genuine bond I create with each pet. I don’t just watch over them—I engage, play, and comfort them as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away.”

Karlyn was great with Asher. Took him on walks, cuddled with him, and sent some pictures for reassurance the whole time. I’ll gladly trust him with her again!

Karlyn met and exceeded our expectations for dog care. Lucy was well taken care of and we felt confident leaving her in Karlyns capable hands. It is obvious she has a good amount of experience and knowledge. We will definitely be using her again.
