4th generation farm girl
Pet care experience
I'm a 4th generation farm girl so I have been around animals my entire life. Meaning I've grown up with many, many, animals of my own; dogs, cats, horses, cattle, fish, even a frog from my Kindergarten class I named Hip-Hop and she lived up until my Sophomore year of high school. My dad trained our bird dog General (aka Genny) so I got to watch and learn from him. My mom also showed our corgi's prior to having me so I learned from her as well, and even attended obedience training classes with her, and our new puppy, when I was younger. I've also taken care of many family member's, friend's, and neighbor's pets and looked after many houses/properties as well. Some of the pets I watched for others included dogs (all ages/small/medium/large), cats, horses, and even two ducks. I am comfortable with all dog ages, sizes, and handling/caring for multiple dogs at a time.
Reviews
I couldn’t recommend Carolyn more! She always treats my chocolate lab as her own, and has become my go too person to watch my dog every time I travel. She’s extremely responsive , and her communication is phenomenal. You for sure won’t be disappointed choosing her to watch your pets
Carolyn is very kind, caring and knowledgeable regarding dogs, cats, fish, and farm animals. She has had them her entire life. She understands about feeding on time, exercise and clean water. She is a great communicator, so when she has a question or observes something out of the ordinary, she will always get in touch. She is very reliable. I recommend her highly.
Carolyn R has a way with animals that puts them at ease. They can sense her love, caring & kindness for them & respond to her like one of the family. Our dog Abby was a rescue pup & had aggression towards strangers & other dogs. Even after 10 years with us she did not take kindly to strangers. We had a neighbor, who is a dog owner himself, take care of Abby while we were away once. He said never again. For our next vacation we asked Carolyn R. After a few treats & playing ball with Abby, Abby allowed Carolyn R to pet her without growling & get close enough to put on her leach for a walk. In no time Abby was following Carolyn R around the yard. Carolyn R gained Abby's trust by lavishing attention on her. After that when Carolyn came to the house Abby would run to greet her.
Carolyn is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to giving pets the best care she can. Having known Carolyn for the better part of 10 years, I have seen first hand how she loves and cares for every animal deeply. She has experience with an array of animals and would be the best pet sitter you could ask for.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets are another member of a family and so they deserve the best care and lots of love, patience, and understanding. I will take the extra time to make sure each fur baby is cared for, loved, and exercised, as if they are my own.
Information Carolyn R. would like to know about your pet
I think it's important to know if your dog has any quirky personality traits. Also, is your dog social with other dogs/people/children/cats? And is your dog afraid of anything?
A typical day
I enjoy exercising dogs because they exercise me as well, plus they are great entertainment. I'm down to try different routes throughout a neighborhood or see if their is a park nearby to explore.

I currently work from home, east coast hours, and since I work remote I am able to determine what my days schedule looks like so I have a decent amount of flexibility throughout most of my days.
