Whether your pet needs a daily walk, companionship during the day, medication assistance, or overnight care, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. My services include: • Dog walking and exercise • Feeding and fresh water • Cat and small pet visits • Medication assistance • Playtime and companionship • Overnight and extended care • Photo and text updates after visits I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including active breeds that require extra exercise and engagement. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to every pet’s routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Ratings and reviews
Carolyn and our dog Sydney got along immediately. Carolyn is a trustworthy person and great with dogs. Her communication and willingness to take the best care of our dog, to our standard, was great.
Carolyn is an absolute gem. Very friendly and the dogs loved her.
As her friend, I’ve seen firsthand how loving and devoted she is with dogs—especially my Olive. Olive absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she sees her. She has a natural way with animals and treats them with so much kindness, patience, and love. I always know Olive is happy, safe, and spoiled with attention when she’s with her. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about the care my senior dog received. He requires extra patience, attention and understanding due to his age and she handled everything with such kindness and professionalism. She made sure he was comfortable, loved and well cared for every visit. One thing I especially appreciated was how she never hesitated to help with the less glamorous parts of senior dog care. My dog has accidents, even when I’m home, and she always cleaned up without complaint and with such grace. That level of compassion and reliability means everything to a pet owner. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my older boy was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with senior pets who need a little extra TLC.
Carolyn was outstanding! I could not have had a better experience with her. She communicated regularly, sending pictures and videos every day which was very reassuring. My house was well kept and the dogs and cats were happy and healthy when I got home. 100/10 stars! I highly recommend Carolyn for pet and house sitting.
We were nervous leaving our indoor/outdoor cat in anyone else’s care because shes independent, curious, and always trying to slip outside on his own schedule. It’s not an easy job, but she handled him beautifully. She understood her routines, kept a close eye on doors, made sure she had safe outdoor time when appropriate, and still gave her plenty of love and attention indoors. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a spotless home. It takes a special kind of patience and awareness to care for a cat like ours, and she absolutely delivered. Highly recommend for anyone with cats who aren’t exactly “low maintenance.”

Schedule
Caring for pets is one of the highlights of my week. My days are organized around my clients’ needs, whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I love spending time with animals and make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and individualized care. Pet care isn’t just a side job for me…it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust and environment are always my top priorities. I provide loving, attentive care in your home. I maintain routines, follow all feeding and medication instructions, ensure secure walks and supervised play, and create a calm, comfortable atmosphere so pets feel safe and happy. Crate service is also available when requested.
Pets
A typical day
I provide attentive, customized care for each pet by carefully following the owner’s instructions and maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I understand that every animal has unique needs, preferences, and personalities, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their human is away. Care includes feeding according to schedule and dietary instructions, fresh water at all times, walks and exercise, playtime, companionship, medication administration if needed, and close monitoring of behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. I pay attention to details such as preferred walking routes, sleeping arrangements, commands, routines, anxieties, and favorite activities so pets experience consistency and reduced stress. I also maintain clear communication with pet owners through regular updates, photos, and messages so they feel informed and reassured. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that reflects the owner’s expectations and gives their pet the same level of attention, patience, and affection they receive at home.

- Important things to know about a pet ahead of time include their daily routine, personality, medical needs, and any specific instructions from the owner. Understanding these details helps provide safe, consistent, and stress-free care for the pet. Some key things I like to know include: * Feeding schedule, portion sizes, treats, and dietary restrictions * Walk routine, exercise needs, and favorite activities * Temperament around strangers, children, other dogs, or animals * Any anxieties, fears, triggers, or behavioral quirks * Medication instructions or health concerns * Emergency veterinarian contact information * Bathroom habits and accident history * Sleep routine and where the pet prefers to rest * Commands the pet knows and training expectations * Leash habits, escape tendencies, or safety concerns * Grooming needs and cleaning routines * How long the pet can comfortably be left alone * Favorite toys, comforts, and ways they like affection Most importantly, I want to understand what makes the owner feel comfortable and what helps their pet feel secure and happy. Following the owner’s guidance closely allows me to maintain consistency and provide care that feels familiar and reassuring to the pet.
