Pet care experience

YOUR PETS ARE EXTENDED FAMILY HERE!

I moved from San Diego 6-1/2 years ago where, in addition to being a realtor, I ran a very successful high-end pet sitting business. While there, I enjoyed a very loyal client base and was lauded for my dependability and genuine love for the animals in my care. My clients and their pets, quite literally, became like family to me. I look forward to developing similar relationships with pets and their owners here in Coeur d'Alene. Rest assured that I am able to provide many references and look forward to caring for your pets as though they were my own. I hope to obtain my real estate license here in Idaho and, as was the case in San Diego, I would be working from home. Additionally, I have a 21-year old daughter who loves animals as much as I do and who is taking on-line college courses and is home much of the time. In other words, someone is almost always home. I may also make visits to animals during the day if my schedule allows. I am very flexible re scheduling of pet visits and often take last minute requests for pet care. We live in a comfortable home with a fenced yard, however, I do not leave pets alone in the yard without supervision, and I enjoy taking walks with dogs. We have a 10-year old Border Collie named Macy who is very sweet and used to sharing our love with other dogs. She gets along with all sizes, ages and types of dogs and is used to visitors. I will generally be working from home and have a 21-year old daughter who loves animals and who will be in and out and with whom I can coordinate schedules.

We were so pleased you have found Carolyn while on our trip to CDA. We felt that Augie was in good hands, and the picture/update she sent proved it. Highly recommend her!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 11, 2026

I can’t say enough about Carolyn! We decided to try Rover for the first time during a multi-day road trip to Idaho. We needed care for our dog for two days so we could go to Silverwood. Carolyn came highly recommended, and she was amazing. Her energy was so warm, our dog instantly loved her and so did my kids! She sent us pictures and updates on Mochi throughout the day, and we could tell Mochi was happy there by how excited he was to see her the next day. We would definitely book with her again if we return to Coeur D’Alene!

Boarding • Jul 02, 2026

Such a lifesaver! I reached out with a last‑minute, same‑day boarding need, and she responded right away with kindness and flexibility. Throughout the stay she was very communicative, sending photos and updates that showed just how much love and attention she gave my dog. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll happily book with her again.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 26, 2026

We needed a place for our pup to stay for a day while visiting CDL. Carolyn was very communicative and sent us photo updates. Vivi had a couple of friends to play with at Carolyn's house and was all tuckered out by the time we picked her up.

Boarding • Apr 27, 2026

First time trying this Rover app out, we usually use our vet for boarding due to health issues with our little guy who’s almost 15 years old. He has type 1 diabetes and can be a handful to take care of at times. She was very good at communicating with us the entire time. She spoiled our little guy and he looked pretty darn happy there :) We really appreciated the care and concern for his safety and comfort. Would absolutely recommend!

Schedule

I work from home and go out only for short periods to do errands, so canine guests are never left alone for long periods of time. They are always supervised when they are in the backyard.

Pets

A typical day

I have a fenced yard but do not leave pups outside unattended. They have room to play, and each dog is given individual attention based on their exercise requirements and needs.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Carolyn & Sarah can host up to 3 pets per night
I generally ask about temperament and need to make sure that they get along well with others. And, I require canine guests to be spayed or neutered.
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.
