Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Mom seeking friendly pups
Our family recently said goodbye to our beloved dog, Taxi. He was a handful but he was ours and we loved him very much. We aren't ready to adopt a new family member but we want to get some dog love back in our lives. I work from home and love taking walks (we live by Greenlake). My decade of dog ownership means I have a full suite of skills--handling dog-aggressive dogs, administering medicine, caring for senior dogs, and generally keeping them company during the day.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Carolyn did a great job taking care of our dog Beau! She's clearly very knowledgable about pets. He had a last minute food change prior to his stay, and she was so accommodating with the changes. She was communicative during Beau's stay, and it was an easy pick-up and drop-off process. We would definitely plan to have Carolyn watch Beau again!
Carolyn did an excellent job with making our pup feel welcomed and well taken care of. She did a great job of navigating our dogs reactivity and we’re grateful for her patience and understanding!
Carolyn and family took such good care of our dog. Judging by how happy he looked in the pictures sent to us, we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home.
Carolyn did a fantastic job taking care of our senior dog, Athena. It was really great to be able to see from the daily updates and photos that she was happy, being cared for so well, and part of the family. It's hard to be away from home when you have an older dog, and Carolyn made it so much easier and less stressful.
Carolyn was fantastic with Apollo, taking him on lots of longer walks and sending us a bunch of pictures. We'd definitely recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter
We had a great experience and were very happy with the care provided. Our dog received lots of attention, walks, and loving care the whole time. Communication was excellent, and we received daily photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I work from home for myself, so your dog will get regular pee breaks in my fenced back yard, as well as short walks (.25-.5 m) 1-2 times a day and a long walk (1-3 miles) every threeish days. We do leave the house sometimes for activities, but generally not for more than 4 hours at a time, and we are never out particularly late. In other words, my schedule is perfectly set up to accomodate a mature dog who likes their down time as well as regular walks.

Safety, trust & environment
Every pet parent has their own way of doing things and I seek to find the happy medium between my default and what you do in your home. I'm a non-smoker with two grade-school kids, so the goal is to keep everyone-human and pet alike--fed, exercised, and more or less clean on a daily basis.
