Behavior-Focused Dog Care

I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs.

Carolyn was a huge help to me today! I had a full day of work and kids activity and no time to walk my dog, and she was able to help me out of the jam and get my dog the exercise he needed on super short notice. She took great care of him!

She was constantly communicating with me. I couldn’t have possibly asked for anything more. She’s my new go to!

Carolina was amazing! She took great care of our dogs while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and our dogs were in great hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would love to book with her again in the future.

Schedule

My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes walks, outdoor time, and engaging play based on each dog’s energy level and personality. I provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation through games, enrichment, and exploration. Dogs also receive individual attention throughout the day, and any play with other dogs is structured and supervised to maintain a calm and safe environment.
