Safety, trust & environment

I make sure they are well taken care of. I keep the food scheduled as the client provides and keep an eye on the water bowl to keep them hydrated but also love to play and cuddle. I also like brush and vacuum the space to keep clean while I dog sit.

Information Karyl S. would like to know about your pet

If your dog is not well behaved please let that be known ahead of time. I have had surprises and would like to prep for it if needed. Also, if we haven’t met before, please have all the food labeled or have directions set out.

A typical day

For the dogs that are good around other dogs, I like to take them to a dog park or a park for a big walk and if weather permits. I know this is not for everyone, so I usually ask those questions to make sure

Experience with all types of dogs

Pet care experience

I have experience with a variety of dog and with ages. For some high energy dogs I often have gone for a run with them and for those who just need to move slowly as leisurely walk is also fun. I have also had experience with younger dogs and crate training and also those who are transitioning to a new home. If there is a dog park in the area and the dog is friendly with others, I love taking them to the park for quite while. I have a flexible schedule as I have my own business with neuromuscular therapy and would love to have some dog fun as this time in my life I am not able to own a dog of my own.

Karyl was great! Very responsive and she came through for us big time at the last minute when our normal sitter had to cancel. She took good care of the dogs and our apartment. Would definitely use her again

We had an awesome first-time experience with Karyl. She took our 7yr old lab, Hendricks, out for a walk along the beach. She sent text updates, pics, AND even checked/filled his water bowl. We’ll definitely be using her again.

Karyl is amazing! She was great with my dog who can be reactive sometimes, and she spent a bit of extra time with him to make sure he was ok. Highly recommend.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
