Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pets

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.

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.

Carolyn did a great job taking care of our two boys (Bengal cats). She was attentive and knew how to build a bond with them. I highly recommend her.

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Carolyn is kind and reliable, Juan and Lupita absolutely love her, and she always goes above and beyond, taking care of the little extras without ever being asked. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn’t be more grateful. We’ll definitely book her again and highly recommend her!

Schedule

Carolyn can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
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.
These prices are for 1 dog.

Prices include all fees.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
