🦴🐾 Let’s raise the woof! 🐾 🦴

Pet care experience

Hi there! I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs. I have owned or been closely around various breeds of dogs my whole life. I can administer medications if needed as I am experienced with special needs dogs having one myself. I have a huge place in my heart for animals in general and it brings me happiness knowing that they are getting a little extra attention in their day from a new friend, me! I can’t wait to boop their nose 👉🏼🐕‍🦺 and play tug or toss them a ball. Let’s play!

Carolyn took good care of our baby Jax. This was his first time away from home and he came back in good spirits, so that tells me he was well taken care of. He is a nervous little guy and gets scared around other dogs and Carolyn was able to easily manage that. I was nervous to leave him with someone I didn’t know, but Carolyn eased my nervousness by sharing pictures and videos of him while he was in her care. Carolyn’s home is very clean, it was important to me to find a pet sitter with a clean home for Jax. I will definitely use her service again. 😊

Sitter was really attentive with my dogs. She treated them like her own. She updated me throughout the day and sent me videos/pics, which I greatly appreciated. We will be booking with her again! Couldn’t recommend her more!

Carolyn was the absolute best. Our guy, Coal did so well on his first overnight and she went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable while we were away. Def recommend!

Carolyn is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We were nervous to leave our 4 month old puppy, but she made us feel comfortable after our first meeting. She even provided guidance on some puppy training tips. She sent us a very detailed update after the visit and had great pictures too. We will definitely reach out to her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have an enclosed backyard with a secure gate that can only be accessed with a passcode. This is to make sure no one can enter my property and forget to close the gate behind them or open the gate in general. As a dog owner myself, safety is number 1. I have a large backyard with ample space for your pup to play. I have a dog run adjacent to my garage for potty time and plenty of toys to tug, toss or squeak. My yard has both grass and concrete as well as shade and sun. I have one Jack Russell Terrier mix (Carter James) and one special needs Pomeranian (Chloe Ann-Marie) who look forward to their weekend slumber parties 🐶🐾🦴🧸🎾 We hope to see you soon!

Information Carolyn U. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special requirements such as special diet, medical conditions, fears or anxieties. Is your dog high energy? Or do they prefer to chill out? Please provide their feeding schedules as well as any special talents (shake, sit, play dead) this will allow me to make them feel more comfortable during play time providing them a familiar command they can show off.

A typical day

My house is situated in walking distance to a large park and a short car ride from a dog park. During the summer months I pull out a baby pool for splash time! In addition to excursions my yard is the perfect paradise for your pups! My home has central AC and heat and I have a dedicated doggy room with plenty of beds, blankets and toys.

I am currently working full time but I am free for drop offs after 5:30pm on Fridays with Sunday evening pickup by 7pm. I am currently only boarding and offering doggy day care on the weekends in order to give your pups my full attention. I do offer other services during the week (drop-ins & walks) as these services are feasible with my work schedule. If your furry friend is aggressive in anyway please do not book with me. I take on multiple dogs at a time and cannot chance injury to myself or other clients pups. I take pride in my work and in the safety of all dogs that are under my care. I never leave your pups unattended when they are together in a group. If ever unattended, each pup gets their own safe space to ensure nothing can go sideways. It is vital to me that my clients understand that I am providing a safe, happy, and stress free environment for their most special friend while they are away. Giving my clients peace of mind is of utmost importance. I actively exercise your babies while they are in my care at no extra cost to you so please be sure to leave a leash 🦮. Whether through group walks, individual walks, tug or fetch, an active pup is a happy pup. I promise to put 100% into your four legged bestie while they are in my home. They are treated with the same care and love as my own dogs. I will keep you updated with check ins and plenty of videos and pics 📸 I look forward to meeting your babies and providing you with peace of mind while you take time to unwind from your day to day!
