I just love dogs

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my whole life. I grew up with my first dog, Lady and we were best friends. When I was thirteen, my family adopted three puppies all from the same litter. I have two other sisters, so we each had our "own" dog. Ella was my responsibility, and if I can brag, she is definitely the best. I am extremely friendly to any animal I meet. I believe in positive reinforcement as opposed to punishment. I am a third year student at Berklee College of Music majoring in Music Business. If you'd like to contact me I am comfortable communicating in any way that works best for you. I'm different than most people my age because I love talking on the phone. I would be willing to do anything your dog needs such as walking, running, brushing (hair or teeth), even buying things that you don't have the time to purchase. I live in an apartment in Back Bay and I have two roommates that are also animal lovers. I can't wait to meet you and your dog!

Carolyn was fabulous in taking care of our dog Moxie. She is experienced and knew how to manage Moxie on walk (our dog is not great with other dogs). She sent some really great photos of Moxie chilling out with her as well as out on walks. Moxie seemed very happy! In addition, Carolyn was very accommodating in the pickup and drop off times. She was very responsive to our e-mails and texts. We will definitely book with Carolyn again!

This is the second time Carolyn took care of my cat. Everything was great, we will continue using her service for Filippo.

Carolyn was the perfect sitter for our labradoodle Roxy while we were away on winter break. She was very good about communicating with us, both before and during Roxy’s stay, and flexible when our travel home required an extra, unplanned overnight stay. I will definitely be calling Carolyn again the next time we need a sitter.

Carolyn was quick to respond to my request and took great care of our dog Gio! She was very kind and communicated throughout our trip. She was flexible with pick up and drop off as well! Would highly recommend Carolyn and look forward to using her again.

Information Carolyn A. would like to know about your pet

I am partial to labradoodles, but honestly I don't think I've ever met a dog I didn't find adorable. I love big dogs although I've never owned one because my mom was always a Westie girl. Unfortunately, I can't house big dogs in my place overnight. If you need me to sit at my apartment overnight, I would prefer an older calmer dog that will be happy chilling all night long.

A typical day

I love biking, so I've gotten to explore a lot of my neighborhood. There is this awesome park with a trail about a half mile away from Harvard Ave./Commonwealth Ave. corner. I see people with their dogs there all the time.
