Pet care experience

Serious animal lover

I’ve been pet siting for about 7 years, I love all kinda of animals, big,small, cats, birds, reptiles , pretty much anything. Taking dogs for walks is fun and needed for dogs, but is also good for me because I get exercise as well. I am ok with watching more than one dog at a time. I have recently been working with some people who breed and board golden retrievers and they have about 12 dogs of their own and on top of all the dogs they have new born pups. Im a animal person, I love being around animals more than anything else and the animals tend to take to me very easily. The safety of your animals is very important to me. I am able to walk/ take care of dogs who might be a little bit challenging, reactive, not dog friendly, even ones who don’tget along with people too well. I always do meet and greets and make sure you feel comfortable in my ability to safely care for your animals. I haven’t been as active on rover this last year I’ve had a lot going on lately but I’m hoping to be able to do it full time again , I had previously been doing walking/ sitting as my only job for about 4 years.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always do a meet and greet and go over everything that you expect of me while I’m taking care of your pets and usually I do ask for a little bit of notes to be left for me just in case. But I just go case by case of what each dogs needs are, when they eat, what their usual daily schedule looks like

House Sitting • janv. 07, 2026

Carolynn did a great job house sitting and caring for our senior Cat and dog while we were out of town. She did a great job with communication and pictures regarding our pets, but also did a great job with house related needs like bringing our garbage can from the end of the driveway when I forgot to ask her to do that. Highly recommend and we will use her services again.

Carolyn goes above and beyond with my cats. She is amazing and am so glad I found her for my fur babies. The little kitten follows her around every visit.

It’s good to know if dogs are dog friendly or not. Things like that, if there’s any diet issues. I don’t really give them treats or anything that’s not provided by the owner due to things like that just to be safe. But it’s always good to know ahead of time. Allergy’s , or medical condition.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
