Your Dog's Staycation w/ Backyard!
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
Carolyn was a lovely host to our little Louie! She was super attentive, kind and it was obvious Louie was well cared for during his stay! Thank you for prioritizing his daily walks. We look forward to having Louie stay with Carolyn in the future.
Carolyn was able to watch my pup at the last minute and I am so grateful. Communication was fantastic. I received regular updates and my pup had a great time.
Tyr loved his time with Carolyn! I got regular updates and pictures of him having all sorts of fun. Carolyn was super easy to work with and kept excellent communication and flexibility. Tyr can’t wait to go back!
Our second time booking with Carolyn has been just as great as the first - she's amazing at communicating, being flexible, and giving dogs a chill home away from home experience. I feel like I'm sending my two dogs to stay at a really cute and well-appointed AirBnB that comes with a very trustworthy caregiver (and dog friend Jimmy) that I'm so glad we found!
About Carolyn B.
Communication
Skills
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

Information Carolyn B. would like to know about your pet
***IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT CANINE RESPIRATORY DISEASE*** Your pets health is my number one priority. As such, I am taking all precautions necessary to protect against the yet unknown canine respiratory illness for both your dog and mine. 1. I am limiting the dogs boarded 2. Please protect your dog by getting a recent canine flu shot and bordetella. 3. Do not visit dog parks ahead of your visit. 4. Please let me know if your dog has exhibited unusual signs of coughing recently, if so, please see a vet immediately. 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.
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!

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.
