I am a per diem physical therapist at a major hospital in RI so my schedule is variable week to week. Since I have a dog of my own I will not be able to board in my own home. I am also flexible with schedules as long as I am notified of the needed days at least 1 week before.

Safety, trust & environment

I will not be boarding in my home due to my dog however I am knowledgable about the dog parks and trails in RI so I will be able to take walks or bring them to the park when I am with them. If there is a case where one of my other family members wants to join me on the walk and they were to bring my dog, she gets along very well with others! We are a very lovable household!

Information Carolyn R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs your friend has ahead of time so I can account for that during my day planning, thank you!

A typical day

I love playing rough with high energy dogs when appropriate and with the correct toys. I also love running with dogs if appropriate or taking them on fun walks in fun places. Also, snuggle time is always a win :)

Pets

Animal lover to the fullest!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs all my life from old to puppies! My friends and family ask me to watch their animals all the time while they go on vacations and I absolutely love it. I currently have a 7 year old lab of my own that I trained through puppyhood. Before her, I took care of my previous dog who lived to be 16, so I am also familiar with doggie diapers and medications.

Carolyn treats our pup Moose as if he were her own!!! She is super caring and spends lots of quality time with our pup during overnights when we’re out of town, and Moose is always in great spirits when we’re return. Can’t recommend her enough!!
