Reliable dog-loving grad student
Pet care experience
I've spent my whole life around dogs of all shapes and sizes—that's why I felt confident in adopting my sweet St. Bernard, Ellie Mae, as only a senior in college! My family’s dogs spent their entire lifetimes with us, so I have years of experience handling the unique needs of senior dogs. I’m also comfortable playing with the most exuberant young pups!
Reviews
Carolyn is an excellent dog caregiver! She is responsible, organized, and communicative. My sweet puppy always loved when Carolyn came over and I could count on Carolyn to be an attentive and loving caregiver. I would recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a dog caregiver who will always go above and beyond. 5 stars!!
Carolyn is reliable, dependable, and attentive to the needs of our dog. We trust her and so does our dog! She treats our dog like family. She goes above and beyond to ensure our dog is happy, active, and loved on when we are away. Bonnie is always excited to see "aunt Carolyn" come to either stay or just sit with her for a few hours while we are at work. I appreciate Carolyn's flexibility and her reliable communication about her availability.
Of course Carolyn loves animals--that's a minimum for this sort of work. It's that she really pays attention and is conscientious in working with the owners: she communicates well, shows up as expected, takes care of matters. She has her own vehicle and can transport dog as needed.
About Carolyn B.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I visit dogs in their homes, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. I’m more than happy to play with their favorite toys, give lots of belly rubs, run around in the backyard, or just watch them nap! I’m also happy to crate your dog if desired. After walks, I always ensure that the dogs have a full water bowl. I’m happy to feed your pup, and I promise not to go too crazy on the treats!
Information Carolyn B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors ahead of time. Also, please let me know if your pup is particularly high-energy. I want to make sure that your friend and I have the best, most comfortable visit possible!
A typical day
I love going to Overton Bark dog park! I live only a short drive away and am happy to take your pup for a car ride. I also live right by the V&E green line trail. It’s a beautiful place for a walk and always full of dogs! I’m also a pro at belly rubs, playing tugs, and running around in the backyard.

Availability
I’m a senior in college with a flexible weekday schedule! My class schedule varies day to day, but I should almost always be available for midday and afternoon walks or check-ins. I prefer not to spend nights away from home during the school week, but I am available for overnight pet care on the weekends,
