Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have experience caring for animals of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior cats, dogs, and even horses—both my own and those belonging to friends and clients. I’m familiar with the care and medication each age group may need, and I follow your instructions closely to keep routines consistent and stress-free. In your home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a safe space to rest, and plenty of attention. I’m attentive to their body language and behavior, so I can quickly notice if something seems off. You can count on me to treat your pet and your home with the same respect and care I give my own.

Information Carolyn P. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to know: • Daily routine – feeding times, walk schedules, play preferences, and bedtime habits. • Medical needs – medications, dosages, and any ongoing health concerns. • Behavior traits – likes, dislikes, quirks, fears, or triggers (e.g., other animals, loud noises). • Training cues – commands or signals your pet knows and responds to. • Emergency contacts – your preferred vet and how to reach you while you’re away. • Household rules – where pets can/can’t go, treats allowed, or special care instructions. The more I know about your pet’s personality, routine, and needs, the more I can make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping pets happy, active, and loved. For dogs, that might mean long walks, a game of fetch, exploring new smells, or practicing favorite tricks—always tailored to their age and energy level. For cats, it could be interactive play with toys, cozy cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company while they nap. If I’m caring for horses, it might include grooming, turnout time, and making sure they’re comfortable and well-fed. No matter the species, I mix in plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment so your pet feels safe, stimulated, and cared for until you’re home again.

Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pets

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life, and I see animals as part of the family. From energetic puppy walks to gentle senior dog care, I tailor every interaction to meet each pet’s unique needs. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to keeping tails wagging and parents worry-free. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a long walk, or plenty of snuggles, I give your pet the same love and attention I give my own.

Carolyn totally took care of my special needs 15 year old honey bunny Sonny. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Sonny is a bit high maintenance with his health and Carolyn met all his needs. She was active in communicating and let me have some peace of mind while I was away for work. House and pup were great when I got back. Sonny and I thank you Carolyn and we are so greatful.

This is the second time Carolyn has taken care of our cats and she’s the best! She is always on time, sends thorough updates and plenty of photos! My cats feel at ease with her, enjoy her company and it gives me peace of mind that they are well taken care of. I highly recommend Carolyn.
