Barks and Recreation

My husband and I have been dog-sitting professionally for more than three years. We welcome all dog breeds, but we make a priority to match our guests by size and personality. We also work from home and have flexible hours so we can usually provide 24/7 care. We live in a large dog-friendly house with a big fenced-in back yard and a few acres of woods with trails and a stream behind the house. We take dogs for daily walks and always have play-time in the back yard. We have an extra living room in our house dedicated as a doggie play area, which comes in really handy on a rainy day. Our neighborhood is nice and quiet with almost no car traffic, so your pup can have a relaxing time on their daily walk. We prefer to have a meet and greet whenever possible. We like to learn more about your dog's likes and dislikes, and their eating, sleeping, and walking schedules so we can make them feel as much at home as possible. We currently prefer to have only four guests at a time unless they are same-family dogs. We are very flexible about pick-up and drop-off times, but we ask that you plan to come before midnight or after 6:30 AM. We may decide to charge for an extra night if your dog comes very early the first day and leaves very late on the last day, especially on weekends or holidays. To see more pictures of our previous doggie guests, find us at pet_hero_photography on instagram.

Khushi had a wonderful stay at Carolyn’s! She came back home happy and healthy. Carolyn provided daily updates and photos which put my mind at ease. Highly recommend Carolyn’s services. Thank you so much! 🙏

Smudge has stayed with Carolyn on numerous occasions. I trust her so much with Smudge, I don't want any one else to watch her.

Carolyn and her husband are fantastic and I know they will take great care of Ms. Amber like she is their own. Amber always remembers them and gets excited when we arrive to their home.

Again, Carolyn was awesome with my now senior Basenji, Dexter. She communicated daily with a photo. It definitely helped that I didn't have to worry and it let me enjoy my mini vacation. He'll be back!

Carolyn and German are great. Moose was well cared for and you could tell they loved her as much as we do!
