Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, I'd ensure they have a warm and welcoming environment. That means sticking to their usual routine as much as possible, with regular feeding times, walks, and playtime. I'd make sure they have their favorite toys and a comfy spot to rest. Plus, lots of love and attention are a must – pets need to feel like they're part of the family, even when their owners are away. Keeping them happy and stress-free is the top priority!

Carolyn has a gift with animals, she been raised around and cared for animals most of her life. Animals tend to gravitate to her ever since she was a child; hand feeding wild squirrels and birds. She’s tended to different types of animals such as horses, goats, chickens, donkeys and more. She’s very loving and trustworthy; having her helping with your family member you will not go wrong!

Carolyn has been very helpful with watching my 3 dogs when I needed a sitter. She is courteous and respectful of my home and does an excellent job keeping them safe and seeing to their needs. Would definitely recommend Carolyn.

I am very pleased to have the opportunity to provide a reference/testimonial for the excellent care that Carolyn has provided while watching my fur babies. Carolyn has proven to be conscientious and extremely responsible by ensuring my dogs safety in and out of the home (yard). She has insured that they had ample food and water, as well as one on one attention. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs assistance without having to worry about their babies.
