About Carolyn P.

Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a dog who was abused so I’ve seen first hand the trauma that physical and emotional abuse to do a dog. It is of utmost importance to me that the animals feel safe around me. I can be stern, and even tap their butts to get them going, but never would I hurt them. I love talking with animals and learning how they communicate.
Information Carolyn P. would like to know about your pet
I would just ask that you be clear with your instructions and let me know any needs your pet might have before I get there!
A typical day
I truly enjoy cuddling with animals and reading. I love taking walks with dogs and if there’s an appropriate space I love playing fetch. Honestly I’ll play whatever the pets favorite game is, it’s for their enrichment.

Pet care experience
My schnauzer is my best friend of 13 years. We also have had a previously abused dog for 4 years, who still suffers major anxiety and is afraid of men. I am also caring for my sisters golden doodle while she has a newborn at home. I also have a cat whom I adore, she is sassy and playful.

Reviews


Carolyn was accommodating and great with our 2 high-maintenance dogs. Great experience for all humans and pets.

Carolyn was great! I am definitely a helicopter dog mom and I felt very safe and secure knowing that she was watching my dog. During our meet and greet, He was a little shy at first, and she was super patient and loving with him. She sent me pictures and updates constantly. I truly appreciate her and she is amazing!


Carolyn is wonderful! My dogs loved her

Carolyn did such an amazing job housesitting. I had to book last minute due to an emergency and she was at my place within an hour. My apartment looked just as it was when I left it, and Carolyn followed instructions perfectly. She was very communicative and very thoughtful with my anxious dog. I am so glad to have found her in such a pinch and will definitely be booking with her again!
