I'll care for your pet like you do
Pet care experience
Hi everyone! My name is Carolyn, and I'm a 29 year old living in center city with a dog of my own! I’ve dedicated a lot of time to my dog and consider myself skilled in many areas with respect to dogs. I’m great at walking, training, taking care of them, reading their body language, and playing with them in ways they like to play. I understand that every dog is different and has unique needs, and I’m happy to learn all there is to know so I can best take care of them. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby ❤️
Reviews
Carolyn loves dogs and fitted her schedule perfectly into ours. She and Obie became great friends. She is the type of person I would completely trust my dog to be with!
Carolyn Westphal is one of the only people I feel comfortable watching my dog. She cares so much about animals and I don't know of anyone more trustworthy or reliable. I know my dog is as well taken care of by Carolyn as he would be by me. I can say with confidence that whatever situation may arise, Carolyn would be able to handle it efficiently. Plus, she will treat your pet like her own!
Carolyn has been an avid dog lover her entire life. From pet sitting in the neighborhood, to volunteering at the ASPCA, to actively participating in animal rescue she has exhibited passion, love, and dedication when it comes to helping And caring for dogs. She established and ran her own pet sitting service in our neighborhood and to this day folks still continue to ask for her. She would represent Rover at the highest level expected and be an asset to the company.

Safety, trust & environment
For walks, I always let the dogs sniff and enjoy their time on the walk. I avoid interacting with other dogs just because you never know how another dog is going to react to yours. I’m hyper aware of my surroundings and am always paying close attention. If it’s too hot out or too cold and the dog doesn’t have the appropriate attire to keep them warm, I will not force a full 30 minute walk. Instead I can come back and play or just hang out with them if you’d prefer.
Home
Information Carolyn W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has special needs or requests that I need to take into consideration. If your dog is hard to handle on walks, please let me know if I can use treats to train it as we walk. I have always used this method with my dog and understand how the positive reinforcement works.
A typical day
For at-home visits, I will typically take them out for a potty break first. Then I will come back and hang out with them for a while. I’ll play with them, work on tricks/training, or just sit on the couch with them if that’s what they prefer. I work fully remote, so I can easily bring my laptop to work from your place for a few hours while I hang out with your pet.
