Pet care experience

Cozy home right by the USQ dog run!

ABOUT ME Hi there! I live at the heart of Union Square – just steps away from the subway stop (great for you) and from the Union Square dog run (great for the pup). I work from homewhich means I'm always with the pups! I foster failed and adopted Frankie, a Labradoodle, that is very gentle and calm and great with all dogs! She shares all her toys :-) ABOUT MY PAST EXPERIENCE For the last couple of year I've fostered dozens of rescue dogs coming from high-kill shelters – through Muddy Paws Rescue – caring for them from the day they arrive into the city until the day they find their fur-ever homes. I'm responsible for socializing the pups and helping them adjust to city life – no small feat! ABOUT MY AVAILABILITY I spend a lot of time at home or in the neighborhood so am always close by and have lots of time to spend with your pup! Often, I'll bring your pup out with me for the day - The Strand, The Bean, or Boris and Horton – and even to various activities like hiking or to museums.

Awesome as usual! She even got toys for my pup this time! It was a long stay (10 days), but I had nothing to worry about with Carolyn -- always the best!!

Carolyn was amazing as usual! So sweet with my pup and you can tell she’s really enthusiastic/happy about dog sitting, always looking for activities to do with my dog. Also really easy with pick up/drop off and sent plenty of pictures. Thank you!

House Sitting • Nov 26, 2018

Carolyn did a great job! She was very communicative in setting up the initial set up and making sure she knew Koda's information. She sent me pictures everyday and welcomed Koda into her home over the holiday. Koda was happy and healthy when I returned. Amazing!

Carolyn was great with my dog. She was enthusiastic, kind, and attentive. She sent tons of pictures and updates throughout the stay, and was very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up. Thanks, Carolyn!
