Carolyn can care for
Availability
I work in-office but have flexibility to work partial days (mornings or afternoons) when I’m dogsitting to ensure your dog gets lots of face time and attention. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m happy to stop by before 9am or after 3pm!

About Carolyn B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
My personal and professional pet care experience is focused on patience and positive reinforcement (along with lots of love and pets and scritches, of course). My own rescue pups came with their own baggage and reactivity issues (one with dogs, one with people) that we continue working on, and it’s been so important to us to have good, reliable dog sitters and walkers who are adaptable to the needs of our pups, so I understand the value of that approach. I think the most important thing is getting a good background on your pup’s needs and I’ll meet them where they are to make sure they feel comfortable and are safe while in my care.
Information Carolyn B. would like to know about your pet
Likes, dislikes, reactivities, health challenges, daily routines, favorite toys :) Anything you feel is important to be able to give your pet a great experience and ensure they’re safe!
A typical day
Totally depends on what your pets like to do! If they’re more the snuggly type, we can do a quick potty break and spend lots of time snuggling and giving affection. If they’re big sniffers, I’m happy to do a slow stroll and let them take in all the scents to their heart’s content. If they’re higher-energy, there’s nothing like a solid game of fetch, a long brisk walk, or some training exercises to get them a good mental workout. Happy to follow your guidance on what they like best.

Pet lover & experienced dog walker
Pet care experience
I’m the person at parties who you find sitting on the ground making BFFs with whatever furry creatures live in the house. I love animals and will bring all that care and love for your furbabies! Grew up with cats & dogs (& fish if that counts?), currently own 2 big goofball rescue pitties, and spent a year doing professional dog-walking in Washington DC for pups of all sizes and ages.
Reviews
Carolyn was wonderful! This was our first time trying an in house sitter and everything was great. She was very attentive and communicated all during her stay. Carolyn eased my anxieties upon meeting her and discussing everything. We will be using her again and would recommend her as well.
Carolyn always does a wonderful job! We are very grateful to have found her :)
Carolyn was very thorough and great with our cats. She was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures. I had no issues trusting that our cats were in good hands.
Carolyn went above and beyond to do lots of extra playtime with our dog and took some super cute photos of him to boot. She did a wonderful job as always!
