Reviews
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!!
Carolyn is amazing! She went above and beyond caring for our dog who isn’t the easiest pup but we knew he was in kind and capable hands. They went on multiple walks and we received video updates. We never doubted he was being well cared for which made our time away that much better. Thank you so much, Carolyn!!
Carolyn was warm and inviting and we could not have found a better person to take care of our 12 year old dog. Carolyn is easy going, flexible and is great with dogs.
Carolyn made Vesper feel right at home, and even took her for two walks in a beautiful she knows well. Our pup was stubborn being away from us, but Carolyn (and her daughters) gave her lots of love. I’m very grateful, and certainly will contact her again for puppy care! Thank you, Carolyn!

Home
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
I live adjacent to the Old Croton Aqueduct and Rockefeller State Park Preserve so hike/walk the trails there, or through Sleepy Hollow to the Riverwalk. In the winter I can take dogs to Rye Playland Beach where the dogs run off leash and play, or I can take them to the local dog park.

Availability
I can take care of your pet every day. Usually provide at least 3 walks, and include one very long 1- 1.5 hr walk, unless your pet does not need that. If you would like to add on the 1 hour walk select it as an extra under boarding since there is no option for that add on under the boarding tab.
