About Carolyn
Experience: 10 yrs
I enjoy working with animals and have experience in paid care taking for cats and small and medium/large dogs. Growing up I was always surrounded by animals and raised rabbits, mice, rats, hamsters, snakes, and lizards. I have also taken care of birds and squirrels. I do in home care where I can stay at your house with your animals or I can stop by a few times a day to check in on your pets. Each animal will get love and attention. I provide feeding, cleaning pet bowls, walks, playtime, attention/cuddles, grooming, and whatever else your pets need! I can also keep you updated on your pet while you are away!
Most recent review
Carolyn has cared for my large dog, Gypsy many times in the past while I've been out of town. She has proven herself to be reliable, friendly, and easy to work with. I trust Carolyn enough to have no qualms about giving her the keys to my home for days at a time while I am away. Carolyn is great with my dog, and I know that she provides lots of attention and affection in addition to regular care. Knowing that Carolyn is providing Gypsy with love and companionship while I'm away is a huge relief to my mind and the key reason I go with her again and again. Gypsy can be very standoffish with people, but she loves Carolyn. I worried that with repeated pet sitting the dog might begin associating Carolyn with my absence, but Gypsy is still always excited to see her. To my mind, Gypsy's love of Carolyn and exuberance to see her is the closest a dog can get to giving a glowing recommendation. I would highly recommend Carolyn for dog care.
