About: I have watched beloved family pets for many friends and family during my life time. Being an animal lover myself, I know that your pets are family and I make sure to treat them as such! Growing up with family dogs and cats, and currently our funky boxer dog Rufus, I know what it takes to be a successful animal sitter and how much love they need. I work a full time job, from 9-4:30 pm Monday-Friday with the exception of one remote day on Wednesdays. Most pets are used to this schedule. I will ensure they will have potty breaks first thing in the morning, during my lunch break at 1, and then once I return to the home at 5. And then several throughout the evening and before bed. I will care for your pet in the environment they feel the safest in… your home. By allowing your animal to remain at home, it eases their stress and anxiety and gives them a comforting feel of familiarity. No need to pack up enough food and treats for the week. I will be happy to follow your thorough instructions on how to care for your pet.

“Karlie is very sweet and we call her the dog whisperer at our house!!! Our Rottweiler’s instantly made up with her and was her best friend! She loved my dogs like her own and were very well taken care of! Communication was great with her and she even sent me pictures daily of them to ease my mind. Usually when we are gone they are so excited to see us when we get home but this time I knew how well they were taken care of because it was like any other day after work excited. I would recommend her to any family or friends and will definitely use her again!”
