Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to accommodate any specific needs that your pet may need in their home, and I will collaborate with you ahead of time! I strive to be very responsive and communicative with my service.

Information Carolyn W. would like to know about your pet

It’d be great to know about the personality, what their favorite activities are, general socialization, and any potential health concerns. I am happy to discuss with you!

A typical day

I like to let cats show their energy and follow their lead! If they are happy just lounging from a distance, I’m happy to lounge with them from a distance! If they want all of the love and pets, I’ve got two hands ready to pet 😁

Remote Worker, Flexible with Care

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with cats and had my own 6 year old Himalayan who went to college last year 😢. I’m taking a break from being a pet parent, but in the meantime love making more kitty friends! I’ve sat a wide range from social to scared cats, small animals, and fish.

Carolyn was extremely easy to communicate with before booking and through my trip. She provided great updates and pictures throughout my time away which I was lovely to keep me at ease being away from my pets for so long. Through the pictures and updates you could tell the animals genuinely felt comfortable and safe around her, which obviously is a huge concern introducing strangers into your home while you’re gone. Will 100% rebook for all my getaways if she is available.

Carolyn responded with calm when it appeared Sassafras was missing. She didn’t stop searching until Sassafras was found stuck behind the washing machine. I am very grateful for her competency in a scary moment.

Carolyn was so great with our two kitties! We felt very reassured on our trip away that they were in good hands.

Carolyn is kind, reliable and friendly. She goes above and beyond and genuinely cares for our cats while we are away. Highly recommend her!
