Please let me know if your dog or cat has special needs and or requires medication. I can administer most drugs and therapy but I will let you know if not

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.

Carolyn R.'s Neighborhood

I'm known as the Pet Whisperer.

Pet care experience

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.

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.

Carolyn did a great job with our dogs. She handled a Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd combo like a pro!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
