Seeking new furry friends!

What’s up my name is Carolyn! I am a former rover sitter returning to my favorite place :-). I have recently moved into an apartment in Richardson. In addition to working with Rover a few years back, I also was a manager at Petsmart for five years. I have some dog training experience, some grooming experience, and specialty care experience for both cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes. What’s even cooler is that I grew up on a farm and am not afraid to get dirty or drooled on. I have experience volunteering at shelters and can handle pretty much anything. I am employed full-time at Tom Thumb as a bakery manager but I write my own schedule and currently have no pets of my own. I would love the chance to meet and greet you and your pets at a time that is convenient for you. I can answer any and all of your questions and make you feel at ease and in good hands. I am PASSIONATE and RELIABLE, MATURE and a lot of FUN! I can’t wait to get some new friends here again!

Kiwi was in the best of care with Carolyn and her family! He is a picky eater and they were very patient and caring with him. He warmed up quickly and was snuggly in no time. Carolyn is so communicative and helpful!!

Carolyn was great with taking care of Zelda! She was flexible and showed a lot of care. Zelda had a great time! She was good with giving medicine and ear drops even though it was a complicated schedule. Would book again!
