40 Years of Loving, Reliable Dog Ca

I’ve loved and cared for dogs for more than 40 years and truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s individual personality. I especially love puppies and enjoy helping reinforce the routines their owners are already teaching, including leash manners, basic commands and good walking habits. I’m patient, dependable and attentive, and I treat every dog as an individual. Whether your dog is young and energetic or an older companion who prefers a gentler pace, I’ll give them the attention, exercise and affection they need.

Safety, trust & environment

I take safety seriously and will follow your instructions and your dog’s normal routine. I keep dogs securely leashed on walks, pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings, and respect any special instructions you provide. I believe getting to know each dog and earning their trust is an important part of providing safe, dependable care.

Carin has cared for my Oscar on several occasions the last being a week for Christmas Holiday. I wish that she would be the only one I ever had to leave Oscar with as I find her trustworthy, caring and he loves her almost as much as he loves me.

Carin is an avid animal/dog lover. I recently had foot surgery and was unable to walk my Macy pup. Carin came to my house and walked and entertained my Macy. Macy loves her and always looks forward to her visits. I highly recommend Carin to be your dogs best friend.

What makes Carin a responsible and loving pet caregiver is the fact that she really treats the pet likes insane of her own . My chocolate Labrador retriever Macy loves when Carin stops by to say hi , brings over toys and treats and takes him for additional walks . Carin also leaves a note saying how much fun she had spending time with my dog .

Carin has been amazing with our Leo. She is very attentive and responsible. Whenever Carin is caring for Leo, I never worry. She sends me updates and ones to get a hold of. My dog loves her!

Please let me know about your dog’s normal routine, personality, energy level, leash habits, and any medical needs or medications. I’d also like to know how they react to other dogs, people, traffic, or anything that may make them nervous. For puppies, please share the commands and routines you’re working on so I can reinforce them consistently.
