Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs all my life. I am experienced in administering medication as I have had a senior dog that had medical complications. I currently have 3 dogs, one senior and two puppies. I am experienced in various dog temperaments, personalities, and triggers. I also am used to walking, feeding, and bathing pets as well.

Carolyn did such a great job with my two dogs! My dog with anxiety seemed to warm up really fast and he looked so calm and happy in all of the pictures. She sent lots of updates and pictures to let me know how it was going. I felt totally confident that the dogs were cared for!

Carolyn house sat for our 10 week old puppy and was excellent! She provided updates/photos/videos throughout the night and followed our instructions in caring for him. We will definitely book Carolyn again!

This is the first time using a non family member sitter for our dog. Pepper greeted Carolyn with her usual bark, once Carolyn said her name, Pepper was fine. I think she showed off a bit! I think Pepper missed us when we left but with Carolyn's personality,and love of animals I believe Pepper was fine in short order. The pictures sent were proof that our dog was well cared for ! Iam glad I used Rover and found Carolyn, she is a wonderful and caring person. We will definitely use her again. She put my anxiety to rest!!

Carolyn was amazing! She is very attentive to my senior dogs’ needs and gave me an after report that was very detailed. She kept me updated throughout the whole time she watched them and took a bunch of photos. She also is very communicative and very transparent with me about her schedule. I am glad to have had someone who is straightforward, fast, and kind to watch my dogs.

Please let me know if your dog is reactive or has triggers. I have no problem working with their triggers, I would just like to know in advance so I can be aware.

A typical day

I love to teach dogs new tricks. My favorite trick to teach any doggo I meet is how to balance multiple things on their head. I also love to go on nice long walks, letting the dog usually set the pace and let the dogs smell everything. I love taking walks in parks and beaches!
