Pet care experience

Happy Paws, Happy Tails

Hi, I am an experienced pet sitter who regularly sits all breeds of pups and also cats. I have pet first aid & pet sitting certification from Pet Sitters International. I love being around animals, caring for them, getting to know their personalities & quirks and giving them all the love & attention they truly deserve. My focus currently is on dog walking and cat drop-ins, with occasional overnights in their home. I truly LOVE both dogs and cats. 🐶🐱❤️

Safety, trust & environment

I understand your home is your sacred place and I will treat it as such. I pay careful attention to the amazing dogs and cats in my care with a focus on their emotional, social & physical wellbeing. For cats, I slowly engage (on their terms!), encourage interaction with wands/toys, and overall make sure their needs are met with fresh food and water, treats (if ok), a clean kitty commode, etc. Of course, I'll remain in regular contact with you to let you know how they're doing. Also to also to send cute photos. :)

Carolyn is always consistently great with Ginny. She takes very good care of Ginny and she will always be my go to kitty sitter. Ginny loves her and is always excited to see her.

Nimbus had so much fun with Carolyn! She did an excellent job caring for Nimbus during his check-in and kept us informed with pictures during the process!

Peace of mind. I will definitely rebook with Carolyn! She took excellent care of our dog Pearl, walking her in all kinds of weather! I really appreciate her flexibility and kindness.

Carolyn was great with our puppy!! She put our mind at ease- we knew he was well cared for while we were out of the house. We would definitely book again!
