Pet care experience

Pets, Plants, and People.

I have owned both dogs and cats my entire life. I have volunteered at animal shelters and cared for friends and family's pets forever. I will take care of your pets and your home like my own. I have used pet-sitting services for years when I travel and know how important it is to provide a worry-free experience for you and your family. I will communicate often and send pictures with lots of updates. I also have experience caring for elderly and sick cats (pilling and injections) and some with separation anxiety. It's a thing! I would happily care for your furry loved ones if you need me. Much love and peace. That's Mom with the neighbor's cat. She pitches in once in a while. It runs in the family.

Carolyn and Alisa took excellent care of our dog. It’s so comforting knowing our baby was in loving and caring hands while we were away.

Carolyn has taken care of several different cats for us over the years and, whether playful kittens or senior citizens, they all love her and thrive in her care. We are so grateful to be able to rely on her for peace of mind when we go away. Thanks Carolyn!

Carolyn and her mom took such great care of our senior pup. Sent us pictures and updates throughout. We could tell when we picked her up that she had a fantastic stay. Would highly recommend.

Carolyn and her mom gave Bonnie excellent care and lots of love. The daily updates and photos of Bonnie from Carolyn were greatly appreciated. My husband and I were in Ocean City to celebrate our son’s wedding, and knowing that Bonnie was in caring hands enabled us to relax and enjoy the wedding and week with family.

Best dog sitter ever. She and Logan really bonded. She took great care of him and kept us updated at least twice daily with pictures and texts of how he was doing. I will definitely use her again.

I would highly recommend Carolyn! Our dog has a bit of separation anxiety but seemed right at ease with Carolyn. We really appreciated the photos and updates, too. Overall a wonderful experience!

I follow pet owners' instructions. Communicate often. Send lots of pictures. And provide flexible scheduling. Understanding that plans change. Treating your home like my own.

You can expect lots of walks and talks. Ball chasing and stick throwing. The owner should supply a list of wants and needs. Happy to try and accommodate.
