Retired and widowed. Just me and my Ruby-Dog who has adopted a demeanor of “caregiver.” She always barks a warning to me when persons approach my door. However, she is not aggressive and tolerates a great deal more than I would have ever expected.

Pet care experience

I have been a constant dog owner since age 10 years. I spent 40 years in the nursing profession. I am a trained observer and I know when and how to ask questions. Your furbaby will be treated with as much love as I give my 12 yo senior gal: Ruby. Potty breaks; hydration; nutrition; and emotional support will hallmark my care for your beloved family member.

Carolyn was a great dog sitter! One of the best we've ever had. Conscientious, caring, attentive. Followed through on our routine with feeding and activity. Thank you for everything!

I was going to be out of the country for seven days so needed somewhere to board my French Bulldog, somewhere in a home setting. Rover came highly recommended and I loved the info provided about each and ever person in my area that would board her. I chose Carolyn! She was a retired nurse so home most of the time and was within 3 miles of us. How great is that? Carolyn was the BEST! She and Kallie Jo hit it off right away. Carolyn asked about Kallie Jo's routine at home and continued that routine. That included letting Kallie Jo sleep with her in her bed! A lot of outdoor time, naps, and popcorn snacks were enjoyed together! When I picked Kallie Jo up, Carolyn had bathed her and washed her blankets. Carolyn went above and beyond to make Kallie Jo's stay comfortable! What a great substitute mama she was. I would not hesitate to use Carolyn again. This was my first time using Rover. What a great experience! Thanks Rover and thank you Carolyn.

I was nervous leaving my dog with someone other than family! Carolyn put my fears at rest! She is warm and caring! Definitely a Dog Lover! I feel completely at leaving my dog with Carolyn and will do so again!!
