Information Carolyn S. would like to know about your pet

I love dogs and really love hiking and taking long walks. Since I retired I have plenty of time and don't have children or pets in my home.

A typical day

If you want, I can take your dog on long walks, to nature preserves or dog parks. I enjoy dog beaches as well. If you have a smaller dog, I will give them as much exercise as they require based on their size and temperment.

Carolyn took wonderful care of my big baby while I was away! We had a lengthy meet & greet before I left town to make sure my pup & I felt comfortable. Her home was immaculate, and she had a great setup both indoors and out. I received a good number of reassuring pictures and videos of my girl lounging around the house and on walks. I would definitely recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for overnight stays or walks for their pets!

Carolyn took such great care of our dog Henry while we were out of the country. She provided daily photos and videos of all the walks and dog park visits they took. It's clear that Henry was treated like a member of her family. Thank you!

I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful person to watch my fur baby!! I was so nervous leaving him for a few days, but Carolyn is such a warm human and Rocco felt so at ease with her right from the start (as did I) She's so accommodating and takes the time to truly care for your pet like they should be cared for. She sent pictures and videos daily to let me know he was ok, and as excited he was to come back home, I think he's missing her too! Hoping I get the chance to use her again in the future, and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!!
