“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about having a stranger watch my dog because she has a lot of anxiety. Carolyn did a meet and greet earlier in the week to make sure it was a good fit. She arrived on time and took good care of my dog, sending lots of picks of her playing. I will definitely use her again in the future.”


“Nicole is amazing! Our other sitter cancelled on us last minute and Nicole was super responsive and accommodating with the short notice. We have three dogs and one of them has leash aggression, which makes him more difficult to take on walks. She was very knowledgeable about those kinds of issues and really eased my mind that he would be in good hands. The house was so well taken care of and Nicole texted every day with updates and great pictures of the dogs. Overall it was a great experience and we’ll definitely be reaching out again for our next trip!”

About: I have always had a connection to animals, and I believe they require more love, attention, and exercise than most of us can squeeze in a day.

I can be contacted day of or scheduled weekly for assistance! My home is filled with three cats who my life revolves around.

“Amazing with our Alaskan Malamute who tends to have separation anxiety and is very needy/snuggly. She gave her lots of attention and pretty sure our malamute had a better “vacation” than us away from our 2yr old and with all attention on her! Our outdoor cat was also treated wonderfully as well. Highly recommend Olivia.”

About: I am a mom of 2 little humans and a dog mommy of 2(now) senior pups and a military spouse. I have grown up with dogs all of my life! I currently have two dogs of my own, that we have had since they were 8 weeks old and they are now going on 9 years old. I pet sit for friends and neighbors regularly. My shiba Inu is diagnosed with glaucoma so I am capable and have been trained to give medications and eye drops. I am prepared to care for higher needs animals who may need a little extra love. My kids and I LOVE dogs and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with them. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your dogs at home while going on a vacation or a trip back home to visit family when you’re unable to bring them. I strive to help other families feel comfortable having to leave them and lessen that anxiety while they get that much needed trip. I will care and love on your animals as they are my own. I have spent time fostering as well and have been around a diverse group of dogs. My children are both now in school and I couldn’t imagine spending my time any other way than loving on and caring for pets. My dream job once my husband retires out of the military is to own a doggy day care or start my own foster agency. I hope that you can trust me with your furbabies as this is something I’m truly passionate about. I am happy to accommodate any needs your babies will have. I am comfortable with all breeds! I can't wait to meet your babies! I am Free from 9:35 am-3pm and again from 4-10. I may be able to make special arrangements and rearrange my schedule depending on your needs. I myself, take my dogs for daily walks and have a large back yard with a fenced in yard and kids who love the interaction with fur babies! I attempt to include my dogs in the majority of activities and make my schedule around them! My dogs love going for car rides, walks, fetch, swimming in ponds, lakes and rivers. They love our camping and beach trips as well. I will give your dogs my undivided attention while I am with them. I will love and care for them as my own! Who wouldn’t want to make a dog feel loved and happy?! I will give them all of the pets and love in the world.I will play fetch, tug o war, feed them, walk them, cuddle, snuggle. All with permission from the owner, of course. Do they have a special diet restriction? I can help with that!
