Highlights
Pet care experience
SmALL Animals Welcome!
Growing up, I was never allowed to have pets, so as soon as I grew up, I got my first guinea pig! I'm currently taking care of my own guinea pigs which, contrary to popular belief, all require very meticulous care. This meticulous care includes, but is not limited to, verifying all four piggies have a constant supply of water and unlimited hay, administration of vitamin C tablets daily, planting, growing and harvesting fresh vegetables for piggy consumption every, other day, administering portioned hay pellets for daily consumption, daily cage spot cleaning with full cage cleanings every, two weeks, and the occasional administering of eye ointment on the rare occasion a piggy gets a case of hay poke. I also have experience administering oral medication to guinea pigs. I got my first dog in October of 2023 - a Border Collie puppy! My dog receives weekly teeth brushing, coat brushing as well as nail trimming and paw pad shaving when appropriate. I take pride in the upkeep of my dog's hygiene with baths about every three months (unless she gets filthy beforehand) and frequent paw washings if it's muddy outside. I also maintain a training regimen. While I am not by any means a professional or certified dog trainer, I am both consistent and persistent on getting my pup to a level that Victoria Stilwell would be proud of - I watched A LOT of It's Me or the Dog on Animal Planet growing up! I also have experience with caring for dogs in heat. My experience with cats isn't as in-depth as my guinea pig and dog experience, but rest assured I have experience caring and loving them nonetheless! I've house sat cats in the past for weeks to a month at a time feeding, watering, playing, and cleaning litter boxes on a regular basis. My care experience with cats doesn't go much past the basic care I've mentioned, but I take direction well and am willing take on kitties with specialized care needs! I hope some of this information has resonated with you in ways that make you confident in my abilities to properly care for your pet! I'm always open to answer any questions or concerns you might have and will NEVER take a risk that can negatively affect you or your beloved pet.

Safety, trust & environment
Depending on boundaries and rules set by the owner, I am always happy to take your pet(s) out for exercise at a dog park or just a walk around the block. I love giving animals human interaction and have no issues with spending time playing either, whether that be tug of war, fetch, or even puzzle games for the pets that need mental stimulation! If interested, I can send check-in pictures just so you can see how your pet(s) are doing while you're away and send other communications as needed or requested. Safety is incredibly important to me which is why your pet(s) will be carefully monitored throughout the whole time they are in my care. I personally keep security cameras in my own home just to monitor my dog napping while I'm away because you can never be too safe and you can never take too many precautions!
Ratings and reviews
Carolyn is great with our senior dogs.
Carolyn is great with our elderly dogs. Highly recommend.
At our first meeting, I could tell Carolyn would be a capable and dependable caregiver for Samson and Maisie. Maisie kept offering Carolyn her paw and I knew it would be okay, leaving my fur babies for the first time. I appreciated the pictures, communication and Carolyn’s flexibility with my schedule issues. Hope to be able to utilize Carolyn’s services again in the near future!
Great communication and photos of our dogs while watching them
Carolyn watched our two dogs over a long weekend and did an outstanding job. She also helped with things around the house like taking out the trash, and getting packages. But most importantly I could tell our dogs were being loved, played with, and cared for. We felt at ease knowing she was with them, and will definitely use her again for future dog sitting needs.
Carolyn was great! She checked in with my dogs frequently and gave me great up dates. She’s was super friendly and helpful. She also took some awesome pictures of them. I will definitely be rebooking her and would recommend her!!

Schedule
My Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends are typically free all day unless otherwise reflected on my calendar or communicated! During Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I report to a normal 9-5 job in office. I can still take on any job that I have listed on my profile, but time spent with your pet will be limited to work around my 9-5 job for pet sitting gigs, specifically. Regardless, I will ensure that your pet(s) receive the quality care that is expected and that they deserve! Your pet(s) will ALWAYS come first!
