“my babies, Jaxon nine-year-old lab mix, Bree six year old Shepherd mix and Ziva three-year-old German Shepherd all stayed with Carrington for several days and they were so well treated!!! I received so many photos and videos and updates from Carrington. I felt very comfortable with my babies staying with her. I will be using Carrington for all of my boarding needs. xoxo”

About: I’ve been passionate about dogs and pet care for over 15 years. As the founder of my own pet wellness brand, Shopypaws, I learned not only how to care for pets with love, but also how important their emotional well-being, routines, nutrition, and behavior are. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including active dogs like my own Border Collie mix, Reaver. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, making them feel safe, loved, exercised, and comfortable while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets because I treat every dog like family. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals and training positive behaviors. 🐾 Your pet will receive loving care, attention, patience, and lots of affection with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I have a flexible schedule and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of attention throughout the day. I understand how important routines are for dogs, so I do my best to keep them comfortable, active, and stress free while their owners are away. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I adapt to their personality and needs to make them feel safe and loved. 🐾 Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets is extremely important to me. I treat every dog like family and pay close attention to their behavior, routines, feeding schedules, and comfort levels. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels, including active breeds like my own dog, Reaver. My background as the founder of Shopypaws also taught me a lot about pet wellness, behavior, and positive care practices. I keep pet parents updated with photos and communication so they can feel at peace while away. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy in my care. 🐶✨

“Julie and her family are a perfect fit for my cat. He immediately went to exploring his area. Julie was always in contact and sent the best pictures. It shows she truly loves fur babies. Scar was so happy there. He loved his stay. I will absolutely use Julie again.”

“As always, Lauren and Jonathan did an amazing job taking care of our Chuck Norris. He tends to be hesitant with any males and completely loves Jonathan. We know he is in great hands when we leave him with Lauren and Jonathan. They are our go to sitters”

“Pinkie had wonderful time with Mary!! Mary was always quick to respond. She sent us lots of pictures of Punkie having fun. We will definitely use Mary’s sitting service again when the need arises.”

Joan B.

“Our boys we exhausted from all the playing they did at your house. We used to say “let’s go see the baby & Emilee” we might change it to the “Fun house”, lol. Thank you for taking great care of them again!”

Karen W.

“Lady told me she had a great week with Joy and her family. She "told"(barked) me she had fun inside and out, and had at least one other dog there to play with. Seriously, Joy and her family are really good, and it's nice to go all the way to the west coast, and not worry about Lady, knowing she's in good hands.”

Kim H.

“We were so happy to have Jessica take care of our little dog. She is so sweet and gentle with her. Winnie took to her immediately. It was a long stay of eight nights and Jessica made us feel confident that Winnie was being well taken care of. We appreciated everything she did for Winnie and wouldn't hesitate to rebook with her again in the future.”

Jennifer B.

“Andrea was very helpful guiding me through the process of Rover. As a first time user, I wasn’t sure how everything worked and she explained everything completely. She welcomed my two fur babies into her home for a week while my husband and I were out of the country. I was a little hesitant since it was my first time leaving them with anyone, but she was very reassuring that they were in good hands. While away she messaged us with updates and pictures. Upon picking them up she told us how much she enjoyed watching them. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking.”

Shannon D.

“Rusty is on follow -ups and updates on any type of communication about Scout. I am comfortable on leaving Scout with him because he really pays attention to detail.”

Brian G.

“Mishael and her family were terrific. They were available for us last minute overnight during the holiday and they took such great care of our boy, Thor! Unfortunately he did not take us leaving him well and was extremely needy and depressed overnight but Mishael didn’t skip a beat. She was great giving us multiple updates and sending pics as well as going above and beyond to keep Thor comforted with attention until we returned! I would recommend them to anyone needing someone to look after their fur baby!!!”

Samantha Z.

“Both Lauren and the pet environment were awe-inspiring. Clancy had such a wonderful sleepover that he sulked the entire return home. Shall be booking with Lauren again soon.”

Scooter C.

“Taylor was so wonderful to work with and she loved on our pup as if he was her own! She was super flexible and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be working with her again! Knox says thank you Ms. Taylor 🐾”

Twana T.

“Rachel watched Shadow for a second time recently. We had to unexpectedly move up our reservation and ended up extending on the other end as well and she was happy and willing to make the adjustment last minute. We love that someone is home all day with Shadow (what he’s used to at our home) and Shadow gets along great with Dax. He comes home with a hangover from the fun he’s had! And is always a better listener to commands when he comes home as well. They also send great photos, Shadow always seems to be smiling or passed out from play and they are very responsive to questions. We will continue to use them in the future.”

Lisa K.

“Great job! Our pets were well cared for and we received photos every day. Kamiya was sweet very professional! Highly recommend.”

Diana D.

“Courtney was friendly and communicative throughout the whole stay. She sent daily updates and photos, which I loved, and always responded quickly whenever I reached out. I’d definitely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Murphy was so happy when I picked her up - you could tell she was well cared for!”

Mackenzie G.

“She was so excellent with my little fur baby. Very informal about everything. Sent many photos of him, letting know how he did all throughout the day!! Highly recommend her.”

Erika C.

“Abby and Dustin were such caring and obvious pet lovers from the very first interaction! They asked thoughtful questions and made sure they understood all of our dog’s needs and her routines. They updated me frequently with pictures of my dog having the best time! I felt totally confident in their ability to care for her and provide her with a safe and loving home away from home. We will definitely be back! It was an overall awesome experience, and I highly recommend them.”

Kristi K.

“Julia went above and beyond for us after we had two others cancel. She listened to our needs and worries since it was our first time leaving our baby. She left constant updates and sent videos on how his days were going. Our baby was happy and well taken care of. Thank you Julia!!”
