Pet care experience

Hi, I am Carolyn. I have undergone advanced screening, including being met face-to-face and my home has been inspected. I will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention he deserves while staying with me. While enjoying his/her stay at our home, your dog will be treated like any of my own precious dogs. My adult children and I live on a large property and we have birds, and of course our favorite dogs! We have Coco and Happy, Chihuahuas. They are friendly with other dogs and happy to be part of a family pack. We would all love to have your pup come for a stay and be our guest! My home, near Manning Park, is neat and dog friendly. My yard is very large with grass and room to play! It is completely fenced. The price listed is for a 24 hour stay for a dog weighing up to 44lbs. It would be $35 for a dog weighing 45-94 lbs. and $38 for a dog weighing more than 95 lbs. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)!

She is absolutely wonderful! My pup comes home and is so tired from playing with all her other animals. She loves Carolyn!

Information Carolyn M. would like to know about your pet

I would want to know if your pup feels comfortable around kids and other dogs. And of course all of us would want to know what we can do to make sure your dog feels most relaxed. I have seen that bulldogs or mixes get along for awhile, but if the "lock eyes", they challenge each other. Therefore, one at a time is max for me!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We will go on walks around my lovely double-fenced property. I am sure we will have tail-wagging canines here to play with, as well as massages as "requested". Your dog's sleeping arrangement: Your dog is welcome to sleep wherever he feels most comfortable, whether he prefers curling up in a perfect ball on the living room couch or snuggling in bed with me. Time I'll spend with your dog I am home full time, so how does 24/7 sound? Your dog will have my undivided attention, given the love and affection he deserves day and night. While you are gone you can be sure to rest easy knowing that your canine pal is being very well taken care of and his every need will be met. His every wish will be my command, whether he needs a good scratching behind the ears or wants to go for a long walk.... Also, Belly rubs on demand! Dogs are very smart and adaptable and love new adventures. They are overjoyed, though, to see their people, after the visit is over. They have memories like elephants which is wonderful to see.
