I work on the computer/phone from home part time so having animals in my home or pet sitting at your home is no problem. Dogs usually hang with me while I work in my home office and kitties are free to roam the house. I let dogs out frequently for pee and sniff breaks to get outside. I'm also happy to come to your pets for drop ins and connection!

Safety, trust & environment

My house is small so I only have 1 household of pets at a time (multiple pets from the same household is fine). Because of this your pets get very individualized attention! I have a fenced yard with dog run on the side and let dogs out frequently depending on weather, scheduling and individual factors. I also have a crate sized for a dog up to 50 lbs. I love spending time training and bonding with puppies and high energy dogs. Senior dogs and special needs, medication schedules are welcome. Please let me know if your dog has a lot of anxiety or destructiveness as these special needs cases may require more planning and you must be willing to agree to cover all expenses incurred from damage. My situation is great for people who want to ensure their pets are getting lots of individualized attention, affection, spoiling and pampering. And for pups who are used to being the only child, anxious dogs, senior dogs, and pairs of dogs who are used to having the run of the house as a pack. I serve complimentary meat-based enrichment treats that keep dogs occupied, engaged, and tire them out. I encourage you to bring bones, chew toys, or whatever fun things will enhance your pet's stay.

1-on-1 Attention, Peace of Mind

Pet care experience

Boutique pet pamper retreat. Individualized attention & presence. Centrally located on HWY 212 near Kaiser and Clackamas Town Center. Your peace of mind is my highest priority! You'll be updated with photos so you can be assured that your pet is being pampered. I have raised and lived with many dogs and cats throughout my life. I have studied dog training and read books but mostly I love to just hang out with them. Being surrounded by dogs and cats is heaven to me. Whether it's training puppies, relaxing with a senior dog, or burning energy on walks- I love dog personalities and know how much value they add to their human's life! I work as a healer and health consultant for humans and animals so animal communication is fascinating and important to me. I try to make every experience worthy of the joy and love our animals bring.

Carolyn has been our go to rover for a few trips now. She is reliable, easy to contact, and I feel I can trust leaving our dog and home in her hands. Thank you!

Story always is a happy dog staying with Carolyn, and we’re happy to get regular updates and pics of our pup while we’re away.

We left our dogs with Carolyn for 10 days, and Carolyn did a great job looking after them. Our younger dog is very anxious, so we were a little worried. However, Carolyn quickly bonded with Loki and sent pictures and stories that reassured us. We would love to use Carolyn again in the future!
