Pet care experience
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. 🐶🐱❤️

Reviews
Passionate and present- really enjoy Carolyn’s energy and her communication style. I never worry about my little guy!
Carolyn helped me out in a pinch. She took my (healthy) dog to the vet for a time sensitive appointment.
Carolyn was prompt, professional and kind to our fur babies! Sent lots of photos and was in constant communication with us. Definitely will rebook for the future. High recommend.
Communicative and thoughtful.

Skills
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. :)
Information Carolyn J. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your dog or cat’s age, their weight, vaccination status, if they are neutered/unneutered, any medical conditions (minor or major, please), if they ever bitten, scratched or shown aggression to a person or other animal, any recent behavioral changes, any sensitivites, habits or traits I should know, and anything else you think would be helpful to know about your furry friend(s)!
A typical day
Most dogs I have sat just simply seem to love the outside! This means the local parks, trails, open fields (permitting dogs), etc. If it's a young dog who likes to play, then we play! =) For cats, once we make the connection, I interact steadily with them, play, offer some love & affection, treats (if ok), make sure their needs are overall met and generally just chill!! :)
