Your dog will be loved & well cared for.
Pet care experience
My name is Carolyn and I am an avid dog and cat lover. In the past I have had 4 of my own cats whom I adored and cared for. I have been boarding dogs for the past five years. I am self -employed and have a flexible schedule that can be set up to accommodate your dog's needs. I am very familiar with Boston's Southend having lived down the street from Peter's Park for over 2 decades. I also recently lived in Southie and am quite familiar with the area. I love doing the Harborwalk, going to Castle Island and the dog park at Channel Center Park. Please note that I do not offer daily dog walking on a regular basis, only dog boarding. I do offer pet sitting for cats on a regular basis. I support the Morris Animal Foundation. Why I love dog sitting I've always been a dog lover. I wanted a sheep dog as a child but wasn't able to have a dog of any kind. As an adult I fell in love with cats and have lived with several along the way. I rekindled my romance with dogs when I moved to Boston and bought a condo down the street from the dog park at Peters Park. Meet my pets There are no pets in my home at this time. About my yard I do not have a back yard, however there is a dog park (Peter's Park) a block away. My experience administering medication I can give pills and shots.
Reviews
Carolyn always takes a good care of my dog. Very flexible and helpful and my dog loves her.
Carolyn, Thank you for always taking a great care of Nene when we are away from home. Nene is always happy when he stays with you. Thank you
Carolyn is great. Very responsible and very pleasant to work with.
Carolyn took care of my two terriers (terrors) over a long weekend while I was away. She picked them up and dropped them off, which was completely unexpected but very much appreciated. Carolyn also sent me photos and was great in allying my worry that my guys might be depressed in a new space (they seemed anything but!). Her south end location was ideal and she's very familiar with area dog parks. I will go to Carolyn again the next time I need dog sitting.

Information Carolyn K. would like to know about your pet
Before taking a dog into my home I'd like to know if it gets along with other dogs, if there are any physical limitations, if medication needs to be administered. I also want to know how they behave around other dogs and people.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks If your dog is particular about where it will walk please let me know. Otherwise I will be walking your dog in my neighborhood. Weather and time permitting I also take the dogs to the Neponset River Reservation,the Brookline Reservoir and Castle Island. If your dog likes to go to a dog park I can take it to Bark Park, Peter's Park or the new Channel Center Park. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog can sleep with me, in his/her bed, or on the floor. It's up to your dog. Time I'll spend with your dog Time will vary depending on my other commitments for the day. Some days I am home all day or most of the day. Other days have me running errands and going to appointments. On more hectic days I will make sure to give your dog his/her walks and food along with lots of love each time I return home and in the evening.
