Pet care experience

Caring for your pup as my own

I recently lost my dog Kacey ant the age of 14 and am now looking to care for your pup as if they were my own! I grew up with 3 family dogs before having one of my own. I know what it takes to walk, feed, and cuddle your pet. I also spent years providing daily pills for my dog so happy to take any dogs with medical needs. I’ve spent many years dog sitting my friends dog in addition to my own. Happy to accommodate any special needs or requests to make sure your dog is as happy as possible while you’re away!

Carolyn took great care of Roxy! Roxy seemed to really like her right away, and Carolyn kept her happy and entertained with fun outings like a walk to Meridian Hill Park. She also sent lots of photos and updates, which definitely helped with my own separation anxiety 😊 I would absolutely book with her again!

I can't recommend Carolyn enough when it comes to caring for dogs. She has a natural intuition for what a dog needs; whether it's reassurance, play, rest, or just gentle attention. With my own dog, she's been consistently kind, attentive, and responsible, treating her with the same care she'd give her own. She recently went through the loss of her own dog, and the grace and devotion she showed throughout said everything about who she is.

Carolyn is absolute amazing with my dogs. They love seeing her because she treats them with so much love and care (and treats). She is an amazing dog mom and will care for your pets like they are her own.

Our family highly recommends Carolyn as a dog sitter for your pet family! Our beloved Jackson stayed with Carolyn too many times to count over his 14 years and he loved every visit. Carolyn makes sure to shower all doggies with endless love, wonderful cuddles, and fun walks. She is dependable and reliable, which was really helpful for long weekends and getaways where we had her watch Jackson. Looking for a fun stay for your doggo? Look to Carolyn!
