Carolyn’s Pet Care operates out of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and it has served since 2005, while the owner alone has more than a decade of experience caring for and walking pets. Starting with Carolyn involves an initial meeting between 30 and 40 minutes, or however long that it takes for the pet and owner to feel comfortable. From there, customers have options, from 20-30-minute pet visits throughout the day to accommodate extended work hours/evening visits, socials, and trail hikes to help animals feel better-adjusted, overnight stays for extended trips, emergency care for the unexpected, and private boarding. Carolyn also offers obedience training.
