Pet care experience

Your Dog's Staycation w/ Backyard!

I have watched many dogs, from my neighbor's senior, deaf, blind dog who requires twice daily medication, to a set of 12-week littermate puppies. I have my own small, senior dog and I am also a flight nanny, transporting puppies in-flight to their new owners, so I am very familiar with the needs of puppies. I specialize in small/ medium-sized dogs, especially puppies and seniors but I love them all!

Carolyn was attentive & kind to our anxious and fearful dog. She updated us regularly during his stay and sent photos. Every time we walk nearby, Kody pulls to go visit! Would book again

Carolyn took great care of Woody during Holidays and from the moment I contacted her to the end of Woody's stay, Carolyn was super responsive. She also had flexibility to extend the stay due to a flight issue I had on my way back home. Woody arrived home clean and looks like he enjoyed the stay as he was happy and healthy. Woody also loved the Christmas' toy she gave him. Thank you so much, Carolyn!

Carolyn was absolutely amazing with our pup! She really came through for us last minute during the holidays when we needed help the most, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She kept us consistently updated, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear our dog was well cared for and loved. On top of that, she went above and beyond by sending our pup home with two toys which has never happened before and even included a handwritten card, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, this was a 5/5 experience. We highly recommend Carolyn and would absolutely book with her again!

Bailey had a great stay with Carolyn over the holidays. She sent daily updates and was responsive and easy to communicate with. We were at ease knowing that Bailey was having fun and being well cared for while we were away.

Schedule

I own my own business and work from home. As such, I spend a lot of my spare time getting in steps and giving dogs a lap to sleep on. Please no pickup/ drop off requests outside of 8am-8pm. If you have an early or late travel itinerary, you are welcome to drop off the evening before departure or morning after arrival.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer dogs be crate trained unless there is no concern leaving them unattended for short periods of time without having accidents or being destructive. I typically specialize in boarding smaller dogs. Dogs larger than 30 lbs will be considered, but I cannot accept large dogs who are unruly, have escaping tendencies, digging tendencies or who may harm the smaller animals with rough play. Thanks for understanding! Note: I am available for pickup and dropoff and can provide a quote based on your location. Please let me know if you’d like that option and I can provide a cost quote for the additional service

A typical day

I’m an early riser and love to start and end my day with a nice walk, especially along Lake Washington or to the local dog park, with the owner's permission of course! Since I work from home, dogs get a lot of potty breaks and attention. When it's nice outside, they can play in the backyard while I'm working outside!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
No females in heat
Carolyn can host up to 3 pets per night
Let me know if your dog has any special needs , behaviors, or medications. If they get along well or need to be separated from other dogs I can easily adjust as appropriate. Tipping is fantastic, though a great review mis just as meaningful, even if you've left one before! But just for reference, Rover takes 20% of all costs from bookings. Ex: If you're paying your sitter $100 for a full time housesit, your sitter gets $80. Tips go 100% towards your sitter, no matter who you choose.
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.
