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!

Ratings and reviews
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 absolutely amazing! Went above and beyond for my boy!! Provided lots of pictures and amazing memories for him while I was away. Communicated well and answered all of my questions or concerns. Would definitely recommend! And will be using her again in the future
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
I feel so lucky to have found Carolyn, the best pet sitter ever. My pup Reggie lives his absolute best life when he's with Carolyn and her family. It makes me so happy and gives me such peace of mind knowing he's being so well taken care of - he comes home happy, tired, and totally loved-up. It took no time for Reggie to feel comfortable and settled in; in fact, by day 2 at Carolyn's, Reggie couldn't wait to get inside and was pawing at the front door and crying with excitement to see his Port Alberni family. Seeing him so happy and comfortable at Carolyn's makes it so much easier to leave without him, and her incredible care for him has has allowed me to actually rest when I am done work and not worry about making sure he's had enough playtime, attention, bathroom opportunities etc. because Carolyn ensures that's all well-covered. Carolyn is quick to respond, and incredibly accommodating; she happily accepted my last-minute request, and has been so kind and understanding with my unpredictable and ever-changing drop off and pick up times. She sends lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, and she goes out of her way to do special things with Reggie, like hiking, going to the lake, introducing him to friends and family for even more love, and playing with him in her beautiful backyard. She is also so friendly and kind, and always willing to chat with me at the end of the day. Don't hesitate for even a second to book with Carolyn! She truly is the best and if I could give her a million stars, I would.
Carolyn was amazing with enzo! It was very comforting to know our furry was in wonderful care. We were so happy to receive pics and checkins on how our enzo was doing! Carolyn's attentive care gave us a peace of mind especially for our furry with separation anxiety. Most appreciated. We will 100% book again. 😊
Will definitely rebook again one day. Kodos was so happy here
