Home all day--play time + walks!

Pet care experience

Your dogs will have a blast hanging out at our house! I'm a writer, and I work from home every week day with my sweet greyhound. My husband and I have a small fenced yard for potty breaks, and I give one to two 20+ minute walks per day, depending on your needs. We live in a very quiet neighborhood right near a lovely wooded trail, and we love to explore! Our huge basement is dog heaven, with beds, toys, and couches available for your dog's comfort. Your dog will have full reign of the house, though, not just the basement, depending on his or her needs/preferences. I know many dogs who prefer to be crated, and we have crates should your dog want that comfort. When we have dog playdates at our house, we love playing fetch, working on tricks, and running around with the whole pack. My husband and I have fostered two dogs and are involved with the greyhound rescue community, and we both have experience administering medication and caring for dogs of various temperaments and needs. In our free time, we go on hikes with our friends and their dogs all over the DMV, and we always have room for more. Ultimately, we're two crazy dog people who love and care for every single dog we meet!

Carolyn and her greyhound boy Marco have been loving companions for our senior beagle. She is thoughtful, caring and responsible and provides exactly the kind of environment that makes us feel good about leaving our pup in her care.

Carolyn R. took care of my two active Aussies for several years any time I had to travel. She was wonderful with both of them. Although they have both passed away, we now have a Cavalier King Charles mix, and Carolyn is my "go-to" whenever I have to hit the road. Carolyn's love for and patience with our dogs is ever-present, and I never worry when she's in charge. Highly recommend!!

Information Carolyn R. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know the breed of your dog and any behavioral issues he or she may be dealing with. I have plenty of experience with dogs with separation anxiety and who need medication.

A typical day

Each day we will take 20+ minute walks through the woods, or through the neighborhood, plus shorter walks, depending on your dog's needs. We also have a small fenced yard for potty breaks or, if your dog is small, there's plenty of room for playing fetch out there! In the house, my greyhound Marco and I will be here to play toys with your dog and show him or her the comfiest spots on the couch. We have plenty of room indoors for high-energy play time, too!
