Lifelong pet owner+ dog enthusiast

Pet care experience

I have owned and loved all animals for my entire life, and currently have two spoiled rescue dogs of my own that I raised since puppies (as well as a fish, a bird,and lots of plants! 😉 ). I have a particularly soft spot for geriatric populations (dogs and humans), and I have worked in the nursing home setting for over 8 years. My oldest dog Reese is 10 with a long history of orthopedic issues so I am very comfortable with special medical or activity needs. I have dog-sat for puppies, dogs who were in the final months of their life, and dogs with reactivity. I spend quite an extensive amount of time learning as much as I can about dog and wolf behaviorism, and have enjoyed seeing the progress from implementing this knowledge with my own dogs. Essentially, I am a caregiver through and through, and would love to extend this passion to your fur family. I understand the need to have a reliable and communicative pet sitter when you are away, and I provide the same kind of updates and reassurance I would want from my own pet sitters.

Carolyn is the BEST! She truly loves animals and it shows. Dexter loved his time with her, he often takes time to warm up to other people but they hit it off right from the start. I received frequent updates and pictures and know she cared for him just as I do. It was so nice to have peace of mind while away from my fur baby, i'll definitely be using Carolyn again!

Carolyn did an awesome job and our dogs love her! We really appreciated all the photos and updates she provided. It was great for peace of mind while we were away.

Carolyn did a wonderful job with our two cats. I knew they were in good hands when the more shy of the two came right up to her during the meet-and-greet visit. Carolyn shared photos that made us smile and spent quality time with them each visit. Would definitely book Carolyn again.

I live in a 2000 sq foot house in Littleton with a large fenced-in yard. I take my dogs on daily walks, in addition to frequent dog park outings (Chatfield, Cherry Creek Reservoir), and hikes! If your dog is more mellow and can’t handle the big excursions I am more than happy to accommodate that as well

I currently have Fridays and Saturdays off, so am happy to come by while you are at work! I also frequently book morning and evening drop-in visits and walks any day of the week, as I am able to stop by before and/or after I go to work if needed. If you are interested in daycare, my dogs generally prefer dogs that are smaller, docile, and older; but I am happy to schedule a meet and greet to see if yours would be a good fit.
