Pet care experience

Eat. Play. Love.

Your pet isn’t just a booking to me; they are a guest who deserves to feel safe, understood, and completely at home. With over 20 years of experience living and working with animals, I’ve developed a specialized "sixth sense" for those who need a little extra TLC. I have extensive experience with rescue babies who might be a bit more nervous or reactive, and I take great pride in being the patient, calming presence they need to feel secure. Whether I am helping a shy pup come out of their shell or managing a high-energy routine, your pet’s emotional well-being is always my top priority. Because I work from home three days a week, I can offer the consistent companionship and frequent potty breaks that keep stress levels low during a stay at my house. My home features a fully fenced backyard where your dogs can play safely under my watchful eye, backed by my deep understanding of dog behavior and basic obedience. I want your pup to feel like they’ve simply found a second family while you’re away. In addition to boarding dogs at my home, I love to hit the road for walks and drop-in visits for pets of all shapes and sizes. While I only host dogs in my own space, my experience extends to cats, reptiles, birds, and rodents. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk or a quiet feeding and cuddle session for your senior cat, I am dedicated to maintaining the routine your pets rely on. Let’s work together to make sure your furry or feathered companions feel perfectly cared for, no matter the setting.

Karolyn did an amazing job caring for our cat while we were away. She provided detailed summaries and many pictures of their time together, which was appreciated because the whole family was missing our cat. We will definitely book with her again in the future!

Karolyn took great care of my fur babies. They responded well to her calm demeanour. I appreciated the detailed reports and photos. I was able to enjoy my time away and feel confident that my fur babies would be well cared for. I will definitely be requesting her services again. Thank you.

Karolyn is an amazing sitter, I can't recommend her enough! She is so friendly, stellar at communicating, and treated my pets incredibly well. One of them has special needs and she took perfect care of him. I felt so much better being away knowing my little guys were in good hands. I would definitely book her again!

Yet again Karolyn provided wonderful care for our cats and dog. We were away 11 days and have a son who works long shifts so having a reliable drop in visit from Karolyn was essential. If you are in need of a professional, reliable pet sitter, she’s your #1 pick!
