My pets love me, yours will too!

Pet care experience

I would be happy to care for your pet(s). I’ve had dogs - large and giant breeds, puppies through seniors - for most of my life. I’ve owned cats for over 20 years. I’ve always wanted to work more closely with animals because it brings me a lot of joy. I personally have one dog at the moment, Kaiser, a Golden Retriever/Hovawart mix. I also have 2 brother cats, Jinx and Pip, who are elderly but have spicy attitudes! I am experienced at giving medication, using a prong collar and Educational collar, and I’m more than happy to help however is needed to make you and your pet comfortable. I am absolutely trustworthy and dependable and I will shower your furry friend with love. I recently ended a long career as a preschool speech language pathologist and now I'm looking for a new outlet for my time and energy. On our first meet and greet, I will bring along the questions listed below, so that I can get a full picture of your pet(s).

Sophie and Bella did great! Carolyn was very professional and kept me informed with texts and pictures. I felt completely comfortable with her taking care of my fur babies. Thanks Carolyn!
