RN Care for Your Best Fur Friend!

Are you looking for more than just a "sitter"? I’m a Registered Nurse and an outdoor enthusiast who treats every dog like a member of my own family. Since I don’t have any dogs of my own right now, your pup will receive 100% of my attention, cuddles, and energy! ​Why Choose Me? ​I don’t just "watch" dogs—I provide an active, engaging lifestyle while you’re away. Whether it’s at my house or yours, your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. ​The Ultimate Play Space: I live on a fenced triple lot with massive room to run. Plus, we are right next to a large open field—perfect for endless rounds of fetch with their favorite ball or stick. ​Trail Ready: I am an avid hiker and love being on the trail. We are located right by the Cherry Creek Trail, so your dog will enjoy scenic, long walks and plenty of fresh air. ​RN Peace of Mind: With my background as a Registered Nurse, I am calm under pressure, highly observant of health needs, and experienced in following strict medication or dietary schedules. ​Services: In-home sitting or your home,dog walking, and adventure hikes. ​Environment: Smoke-free, secure, and full of love. ​Requirement: I take on a limited number of furry clients to ensure everyone gets the "family member" treatment. ​Your dog deserves a vacation as good as yours!

Carolyn was an absolute god send! She was avaialble on extremely short notice to help us out of a pickle with our senior dog. She was extremely communicative and was so caring and loving towards our 21 year old dog. We could not have asked for anyone better to look after him. We would very highly recommend Carolyn, she was fantastic! Thank you Carolyn!!! ❤️

Carolyn was very friendly and took great care of our puppy! She took her for a forest walk and watched her all day. We received photos and felt our puppy was in good hands. Such a help! 5 stars
