Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as if they were my own, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, walks, playtime, and attention, while also respecting their routines and energy levels. For cats, I provide gentle care, play, feeding, litter maintenance, and companionship at their comfort level. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, and I always aim to create a calm, loving environment so every pet feels secure and happy while you’re away.

Information Carolyn Y. would like to know about your pet

-Medications with detailed instructions -Behaviors at dog parks/with other dogs or animals -Feeding schedule/times -Emergency contact(s) -Health issues/concerns -Likes & dislikes of pet (ex: prefers longer walks; needs a lot of exercise, only like to be pet in certain areas of head, etc.)

A typical day

I love to participate in anything active with dogs! From skating in the boardwalk, going to the beach, the dog park, and/or a chill walk around the neighborhood! With cats, I love to play with them when they need to be stimulated, or give them space until they feel activated and/or comfortable!

Active, Attentive, & Loving Care 🐾

Pet care experience

I grew up with an Akita, Jordy, who will always have a special place in my heart, which sparked my lifelong love for animals. I’m an experienced pet sitter who has cared for a variety of dogs and cats over the years—and I still regularly watch multiple friends’ pets. I’m very active and love taking dogs on walks, trips to the park or beach, or simply spending quality time playing and exercising. I’m just as happy cuddling on the couch and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and at home. I also have a soft spot for cats and truly enjoy giving them attention, playtime, and affection too.

Carolyn walks my dog during my long shifts at work. She takes her on walks, makes sure she has water, gives her treats, and lots of love. She takes great care of my fur baby and I know I can trust her ☺️

Carolyn is AMAZING! My dog can be shy but he was quick to warm up to her and now she has easily become one of his favorite people. Carolyn is truly an exceptional sitter. She updates me before, during, and after each visit, sends lots of pics, and is very reliable and communicative. I know mango is always in good hands with her!

Carolyn is the greatest! She has taken our bulldog, Franklin, for walks while we’ve been at work. Franklin ADORES Carolyn, and she always gives us updates (with photos), and is incredibly communicative. We will be returning to Carolyn whenever possible!
