I’m a remote freelance writer so my schedule is very flexible. I walk Emmett every day at least three times a day so it’s really easy to add an additional dog to the mix.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m home all day so we all hang. Our yard is unfortunately not fenced but because I spend a lot of time at my computer I balance that with a lot of midday dog walks. When your pet stays here it’s very chill; as long as your dog gets along with Emmett they’ll have full range of the house and can snooze wherever and then we’ll go walk about around the block a few times, which nets out to be about a mile.

Information Caroline D. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know how well your dog gets along with other dogs. I’m always happy to do a meet and greet before someone stays for the day. Also if they have any allergies and if they’re allowed to have treats. If they freak out if they see a deer and what not. All I ask is you be willing to set the right expectations!

A typical day

Honestly if you just wanna make sure your dog isn’t alone all day, gets a few brisk walks in, some pats and snacks, this is a very relaxed situation.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m a professional writer who works from home and often watches my neighbors’ dogs just because I think it’s fun. I joined Rover to help others who might need last-minute dog sitting. My own golden retriever Emmett chills with me all day and we go for walks around the block at lunchtime and we’d love for your friend to join us! I host one dog at a time (in addition to Emmett). I’ve been around dogs and pets of all kinds my whole life and am happy to just spend some quality time feeding, patting, walking or running with a good pooch. I’m super comfortable with all breeds, just maybe not strong enough to handle anyone over 100 pounds unless they’re super well trained. I’ve seen Emmett and my previous dogs, Henry and Teddy, through all kinds of ear infections, hot spots, and geriatric arthritis treatments and am really good at finding ticks! My brother has Emmett’s brother, Gary, so you’ll see the two of them in a few pics together.

Carrie is my first choice when looking for a dog sitter - She is responsible, trustworthy, and full of love to share with your furry friend. Carrie is always first to give a good boy (or girl) extra pats and one of the best dog walkers in the game!

Carrie is great with all kinds of dogs of varying ages. Over the years, she has cared for my dogs. Most recently, Carrie has been wonderful with my 1 year old lab. She’s very responsible and careful, but also makes sure that my puppy has fun and gets great exercise.

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.
