Safe, social and comfy with family!

Pet care experience

A little about me: I am a part-time college student completing an online program. I am mostly at home with my family and have plenty of time to to accommodate to the pet owners needs and the dog’s needs. I have two small pups Kayak, and Cricket, that I recently got this year of 2021. Kayak and Cricket are both very social and sweet. They are regularity socialized. Kayak is sweet mannered and low energy. Cricket is high energy that loves to play. If Cricket gets too playful we take him to the dog park. I'm committed to the ensuring safety and happiness of your pet as a top priority, dogs are family after all. is a guarantee your dog will be safe. I am happy to host your friendly, calm or active dog. They have to get along with my pups, and a meet greet is required previously. Why I love pet-sitting: I love dogs! Dogs have always been a part of my life and now that my last remaining childhood furry sibling for the first time in my life I don't own a dog. I had a border collie named Brisa for 15 amazing years until she earned her angel wings. I recently had two Australian Shepherds, brother and sister, Pirate and Blue, and I had these dogs for 15 years as well and they recently also earned their angel wings 2017 and 2016 respectively. Brisa, Pirate and Blue were my best friends until they passed away to the greener pastures of heaven. My family and I, mother, father and sister which I live with, loved and took care of our dogs which were part of our family for 20+ years, from my childhood to present day. We always did our best in taking care of their health, physical, emotional and mental needs and cherished the many many years (in my case my life span) with our furry family members. I have been a pet sitter before for friends and family on numerous occasions. And I promise to care for your dog family as if they were my own. Varied Experience: I get along very well with unfamiliar dogs, friendly or shy and I have a lot of experience with pups that need some time to warm up. As I recently got dogs of my own, the dogs I host at my house have to get along with my pups, and a meet greet is required previously. I am good with dogs that have separation anxiety and feel more at ease socializing with more dogs. I am wonderful with pets, especially dogs, and I know how to care for and ensure the utmost safety, comfort, and fun for your pooch! I've helped in raising two Australian Shepherd puppies into adulthood, and into their elder years. I have been doing pet sitting for friends and family free of charge for several years, varying dogs of size, my own dogs having always been medium size but also experiencing with family members dogs such as Toy Poodle, Weimaraner, Catahoula, Dachshund and varying temperaments, from friendly to introverted dogs. And in my recent pet sitting clients, Pitbull, German Shepherds, Pugs, and Goldendoodle. Special Accommodations: As mentioned above, I am very flexible and open with a wide variety of schedules, since I am a part-time college student with no other engagements. You can be assured the environment will be stress free. I also am very good with active dogs so I can take them for walks and play with them as much as they need to tire themselves out. I also accept puppies and am very happy to supplement in their training. I If there is something I didn’t mention please send me a message and ask anything!

My house is in a safe neighborhood, with a clean and fenced yard. All individuals in my home absolutely love dogs and ensure all pups feel loved and are safe. I have two friendly and calm pups to get along with your dogs. If the dogs are healthy and able to go on walks there is a small park a few minutes from my house and I live in very safe and clean neighborhood

Information Carolyn P. would like to know about your pet

I require a meet and greet so we can see out compatibility with my pups, and so I can ask questions, check my house, and determine if we are a good fit. I also need to know veterinarian information and contact, potential emergency contacts and proof of vaccinations and their shots. I also need to know any potential health problems and how to take care of them. I do not have breed preferences but I do need to know the dogs temperament, activity level, usual personality, behavior tendencies, quirks, likes and dislikes. I want for them come as groomed and as clean as possible. I want to know whats normal and not, and so I can be aware of whats of off and can ensure their comfort and safety.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog As much time as the owner wishes I love dogs and I like to take the time to get to know them their quirks, likes, and dislikes. For me honoring and respecting dogs is the most important thing I keep in mind when interacting with any pooch, If a dog likes a lot of attention I welcome their company and love having them around them as I do my homework, or move around the house. I also don't ever leave them alone outside they are always supervised when they go the yard. And if a dog likes their own space and privacy, I also respect that. Gaining their affection and making sure their stay is as home-like as possible is extremely important, as well as their safety, which is utmost! Lots of Petting and Walking I live with my parents and sister who are also dog lovers there would plenty of attention, care and love that would be showered on your dog not just from me. We love to walk our dogs as a family so assure that in the afternoon and morning sheltered from the scorching sun and pavement we will walk them if they want too. Neighborhood If the dogs are healthy and able to go on walks there is a small park a few minutes from my house and I live in very safe and clean neighborhood Veterinarian Nearby Live a five minute driving distance from a vets' office and 24/7 hospitals in case of any emergency or urgent care need. Did I also mention lots of pictures? I also want the owner to feel at ease about leaving their dog family with me. So I'm always eager to take lots of pictures, give you updates, and ask questions if needed. Usually I give at least one udate a day but I can accommodate the frequency. Feel free to request more pictures! I love taking pictures of dogs.
