Pet care experience
Making pets feel loved is the goal❤
Caring for animals is just about one of the best things in this world. My family and I have two of our own and they’re both the bestest doggies in the world, but I am bias😉. We first got our girl Queenie from a family friend who passed on and had no family that she could go to. We couldn’t bear the thought of her going to animal control/shelter life so we took her home. She’s full of personality and spirit and has the ability to bring joy to anyone she meets. Then we started fostering our girl Dorothy! She was rescued by Make A Difference Rescue in Michigan from the chains of a backyard home in Detroit that was raided by police there to serve a warrant. She and two other dogs in the backyard were saved and named after the Golden Girl’s T.V. Show. Thus, we got our girl Dorothy that we call Dory or Squeaker (the sounds she makes in the morning). She has the BEST smile and the cutest little trot in the world. She gets along with everyone and every dog. So that’s my story! I love my two girls to death and ever since they’ve joined our family I’ve been involved with some rescue or shelter in some way or another. I understand that trusting a perfect stranger with your beloved pets is a very difficult thing to do. I am here to help out when needed by providing peace of mind in any way that you like. Picture updates on our walks? Trust me, there will be lots! Wanna see your pet in real time? Put an AirTag on their collar and you can watch us walk! Whatever you need! Not only are the walks important for your dog’s health, but it helps them socialize by getting out of the home. It’s also great for the case of the zoomies!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
At the moment, I do not offer house sitting or drop in visits for pets. For now, I am just offering dog walks. Trust and safety are extremely important to me, though, so however you need me to stay in contact with you that will put your mind at ease while caring for your pet(s) is exactly what we will do!
Ratings and reviews
Carolynn was amazing with my fur babies!! Would 100% recommend. I’m so grateful for her professionalism and compassion she had while entrusted with my babies.
Carolynn was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond watching our dog. I highly recommend her! She was extremely reliable and very communicative the entire time she was caring for our dog.
The true test is whether the dogs would give five stars. They would. Carolynn is awesome! Caring and loving. Highly recommend
Carolynn is a superstar and an ABSOLUTE lifesaver. She had previously spent time with my dogs when I was away for a weekend, so when I was stuck with a bad situation with another sitter, I knew I would ask Carolynn for help. She dropped everything and was ready to take over no problem that night! She had no issue managing their every need and helping them recover from the traumas they'd been through, which is no easy feat! She helped make sure my house was back in order and all cleaned up before I arrived home, and she gave my fur babies quadruple the amount of love I could have expected any sitter to offer. Their long walks with her had them prancing around like royalty. Plus, her daily updates and multiple pictures were always a welcome treat. Couldn't have asked for a better, more reliable, or more capable person. Thank you!
I was SO lucky to have Carolynn stay with my pups while I was out of town. I had absolutely no worries while she took care of them. She did a perfect job at making sure they were happy, loved, and well kept in addition to offering me adorable updates regularly. She treated them like her own, and made them a priority. And I came home to a home that was cleaner than I left it which was above and beyond! Thank you!

Schedule
At the moment I am not working. I just graduated with my bachelor’s degree, but I have not started working anywhere in particular just yet. We are a military family (and I am a Navy vet myself) so we aren’t sure if we are moving sooner than I can finish another degree or not. So everything is up in the air, but I’d love to do help out by doing some dog walks in the mean time!
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsCarolynn can host up to 2 walks per day
- Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special care needs. Examples; extra time if they are a little bit older, if you need them back at a certain time for medications that need to be administered promptly, hip/foot/leg issues or pain, anything else that you think it pertinent that I know while walking your dog!
