Flexible pet sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Carlyn and I’ve always loved animals! I grew up with a yellow lab named Baxter, and have been dog and cat sitting for family and friends, for close to 10 years now.

Carlyn is very nice and appeared to relate genuinely to our dog Axel. Carlyn stepped in on short notice when someone we had already contracted had a medical emergency. She took good care of both our dog and our house for a week. She sent us pictures of our dog on his activities with her every day. Her judgement is solid: when taking Axel for a walk on a busy street, she made sure he was leashed. She was an active communicator via email. Scheduling at times, got a bit complicated. She seemed stressed by a very important exam she had this week which led to some heated remarks she made for which she apologized. We got in late on our last night, which we had paid for but Carlyn asked if it was OK if she left before we got home. We were concerned about what night happen if our flight or ride home was delayed, who might remain with Axel until we returned. We asked her to stay until we arrived home which she did.

To say I was very pleased with the care given to my Axl is an understatement......I was able to enjoy time with my sisters, and not have to worry about him. I nearly had to drag him out of Carlyns house, he wanted to stay and play more :)

Carlyn stayed at our home for a few days with our 2 pups, and it was such an amazing, stress-free experience. I got sweet photos, plenty of updates, and my pups were so much happier and more comfortable staying at home with her. Thanks, Carlyn!

Carlyn was an exceptional house sitter who took excellent care of our 2 Bulldogs. She was very attentive to them and their schedule. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who loves their dogs.

I believe a tired dog is a good dog, so I tend to focus on making sure the dogs get good exercise. However if you’re just looking for someone to spend time with your pets, I’m happy do that as well!

Information Carlyn M. would like to know about your pet

I love to know what your typical schedule with your dog is. I find the dogs do best when I keep them on your established schedule.

A typical day

I typically take dogs on at least 2 walks a day, depending on the breed and energy level. If it’s a less active dog we typically spend more time inside, cuddled up watching tv.
