This was our first time having Carolyn - she stayed in our home 3 nights to care for our elderly mini schnauzer and cats. She did a fabulous job and provided frequent pics and updates. One of our cats can be aggressive and weird with new people. Finding a sitter who can manage him is stressful. Carolyn handled him with professionalism and ease, besting him at his own game. She ignored him when he hissed and gave him treats when he was good. 10/10, we will book Carolyn again.

Carolyn was fantastic. I have a cat on multiple medications and she handled all of it no problem. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.

Carolyn treated my dog so well! She followed my notes to a T and ensured that she got lots of exercise and stimulation. She also provided frequent updates and photos. I can tell she cares deeply about animals, and I’m grateful she was able to watch my girl while I was out of town. I will definitely keep her in mind for future pet sitting needs!
