Animal lover, will come to you

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a lifelong long animal lover, and experienced petsitter of all species. My degree is in Animal Science from PSU, and my day job is in agriculture. I have taught dog obedience, agility and other disciplines, and have no fear working with animals! I am licensed with the AKC and have trained and shown dogs in a variety of disciplines. I'm comfortable administering medication (oral, topical, injections, etc.), and dealing with "challenging" animals. You can feel comfortable leaving your pets in my care. I have petsat for a huge variety of dogs: senior dogs, valuable breeding animals, puppies, blind/deaf dogs, high energy dogs, scared/fearful dogs, farm dogs and more. I'm available to petsit other species as well, just get in touch with me!

Carolyn is great! She's prompt, our dogs rated her 10/10 ! Nice person to work with and she was a good guest in our home. Peace of mind when we travel. Already booked a second stay with her.

We highly recommend Carolyn. She is polite, friendly, and very good with our two dogs. They were sad to see her go as they thought she was a new addition to our pack. We will book with Carolyn again when the needs arises.

I had had a bad experience with putting Abbie in a kennel and decided to try having someone stay wirh her when I had to be out of town. On the advice of a co-worker I looked at Rover and chose Carolyn because of her knowledge and expierence. We had a meet and greet and Abbie took right to her, we did a practice sublingual drops which went well. Carolyn answered all my anxious mommy texts and sent me pics and videos which calmed me and allowed me to concentrate on the conference I had to attend. I came home to a well cared for house and happy, relaxed dog. I couldn't be more pleased and will definitely ask Carolyn to take care of my furbaby again.
