Pet care experience
Hi! I am Carol and I live close to Mercury Mine Elementary School. I am home full time. My fee for a 24-hour stay for a small dog (under 40 lbs) is $50.00. My fee for a dogs weighing more than 45 lbs is $70.00. Over 45 lbs to 80 lbs is $70.00 and over 80 pound dogs are $90 per 24 hours. Puppies under 18 mos are $125.00 per night, and increase again in increments based on weights over 40 lbs (puppies are very time consuming, a lot of work and most need constant attention/continual training). Additional dogs are less 10%. If you pick up between the next 24 hour cycle, my daycare fee is 10.00 per hour (dogs any size) and past 7 hours the fee is again the same rate as a full day for your small, medium or large dog. Holiday rates start at 75.00 per day, per small dog and increase again based on size. Non spayed and un neutered dogs are accepted with a fifty dollar fee added, if over 18 mos (less than 18 mos is puppy rate). We appreciate the consideration of flea/tick and especially heartworm preventions for the safety of our home, family and other dog guests as well. My two sons, husband and I would love to invite your dog into our home! As a lifetime dog lover, I was very happy to be able to care for dogs through Rover as a sitter. Please contact me? I'd love to meet you and your dog(s)! Why I love dog sitting? We are all dog lovers in this family and we are conscientious people who will take excellent care of your dog's needs while in our home. That said, I myself am responsible for the care of your dog. I am very active and will tailor my entire day to meet the needs of your dog’s care as well as any special needs that your dog may require. We focus on love, safety and having fun! Your dog will be the special guest while in our care. Meet my pets.. We have no pets of our own. About my yard I have a fully fenced-in yard, perfect for soaking up some sunshine and spending a long afternoon playing endless games of tug o' war and ball fetch. Your dog will never be out unsupervised. My experience administering medication.. Yes, I have no problem administering medication when given a proper demonstration. If your dog requires injections I do not charge a fee for this service. I am home full time and work small projects within my home. I leave only for fast store runs or short once a week, two hour class. My yard is completely fenced and no dogs are ever left outside alone. I am very careful with new introductions to any dogs I am sitting and I typically do not allow guest dogs to engage with other dogs while on walks. I am a mom and I am available full-time for your dog’s needs. I am home full time and only leave for short errands therefore your dog will not be left unattended for long periods. We have no pets currently meaning your pet is our pet while in our home. I do not promise to sit your pet solo as I sit for owners who travel frequently and need my service on short notice. I do offer house sitting services as well as drop ins for house sitting, up to four times a day.
Reviews
Carol takes wonderful care of our three dogs, I never worry when they are in her care. Thanks again, Carol!
Carol was great with our two pups, and with corresponding with their anxious dog mom!
Carol was great with Beau. Unfortunately, we had to pick him up early due to a medical issue that arose. Carol was very communicative and let us know what was going on while Beau was in her care. Everything turned out OK and we appreciate Carol's help in resolving the issue.
Carol always does a great job of watching our boys! They come back so happy and relaxed!

Information Carol A. would like to know about your pet
The only thing I need to know is if there is anything I can do in order to make sure your dog is comfortable and completely at ease as a guest in my home.
A typical day
We will go on long walks around my neighborhood, very early and in the evening too. We usually enjoy the park-like area near our community pools within our walk route. During the day, your dog will be in my midst throughout as I spend most of my time in kitchen and in family room area. Even if I am on computer, your dog will be very close by and within talking range all day. Your dog's sleeping arrangement;: Your dog is welcome to sleep comfortably in a dog bed on the floor in the family room or in your crate if that is his routine. I will do everything I can to make sure your dog feels as at home and comfortable as possible. Time I'll spend with your dog: I am a stay at home mom of two grown boys so I am here full time. My husband now works from home are home from work and school, your pup will have more than enough hands willing to give belly rubs! Caring, nurturing, safety-first attention for your dog or cat. I will come to your home for their care and give them love and play while you are away!
