Safety, trust & environment

Families have previously entrusted me to spend lots of time at their house while they were away, so I am entirely comfortable to keep your pets company in case they have any attachment or anxiety issues.

Information Carolyn C. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to handle any type of pet, but it is good to know how comfortable they are with new people so that I can have an idea of how nervous they may be when meeting me.

A typical day

I can take them to Arroyo Verde Park, Cemetery Park, the beach, or even on a hike if your dog is more active. I have experience in helping shy or antisocial dogs to improve their relationships with new dogs they encounter, but also can keep them separated if that is how they function best.

No dog is too crazy

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a college graduate currently living in Ventura that can take care of whatever your dogs need. I recently completed my Master's degree in Animal Behavior, so you can trust that I have the knowledge and background to take care of any animal's need. While I completed my undergraduate and graduate degrees, I was employed by several families to pet-sit and walk their dogs, so I have plenty of experience and am comfortable with any type of dog (even extremely energetic ones). I can feed, walk, bathe, groom, clean up after, and administer medicine to the pets if necessary. I have two cats, one large German Shepherd, and a tortoise and gecko myself, so I have experience with those animals specifically, but I also am familiar with caring for my mom's horses so I can take care of a wide range of animals. I can also perform any simple house-sitting tasks (watering plants, collecting newspapers, etc.). I hope you'll trust me with your furry (or scaly) friend :)

Mattie loved Carolyn so much and we were able to fully enjoy our trip without worrying about our pup!

Carrie was very professional and timely. Not only did she take great care of our giant breed baby, but she also took great care of our home. Our dog is very picky and particular, but he loved Carrie! She also took him out for regular and long walks. Would definitely recommend and book with her again. Thank you!

Carolyn is punctual, competent and caring. My high drive, high energy aussie did great in her care, and Carolyn's knowledge of all things critter provided him with an excellent experience! I will definitely re-book Carolyn and would recommend her to anyone who cares about their pet.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
