Pet care experience

I'm known as the Pet Whisperer.

I've had dogs and cats my whole life, but I have also worked in animal welfare facilities caring for animals of all types (cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, mice, chinchillas) I"m on the board of an animal welfare organization, I have served as a cat adoption counselor and I am starting my own blog about the best ways to care for pets. The main reason I'm called the pet whisperer is because I talk in their language and animals just follow me. They sense that I think like they do vs how a human would think. I'm a big fan of all animals.

Carolyn took excellent care of my dog. By the time I came to pick him up he almost didn't want to leave.

Carolyn is absolute magic! After a bad experience with a previous sitter, I was super hesitant and anxious about leaving Mello with someone new. From day one, Carolyn put all my worries to rest. She provided amazing updates and photos, keeping me completely in the loop while I was away. It gave me total peace of mind knowing Mello was in such caring, capable hands. Carolyn created such a sense of ease, and I will 100% be booking her again. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Ms Carolyn is the best! She kept us updated with our baby boy Kimo. Sending us pictures and even walked him to the park. We definitely will be seeing Ms Carolyn again if she’ll have him.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 26, 2026

Continue to be so appreciative of Carolyn. She responded to a last minute request for all day care when we were really in a pinch. I was able to rest easy while our dog had an incredibly fun day. He is always so over the moon to see her. As a pet parent, it's so reassuring to see her true love and devotion for animals. Thank you again!!

Bailey had a great time for 3 days we left him. He enjoyed walks and company of other dogs. We also recieved regular updates.

Our very shy rescue dog warmed up to her quickly. She provided excellent care and was very flexible in dealing with our chaotic schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large home with 3 levels and fenced in backyard. I have a second fenced area within the backyard. I have two cats within the house but there's plenty of room to keep them separated if necessary.

A typical day

I love animals and talk to them constantly. I also like to stimulate their curiosity and get to their level of comprehension: I relate to animals on a deep level throughout the day.
