Description:

I have cared for pets for over 10 years. I started out by taking a job as a Kennel Tech at Lake Grove Veterinary Clinic where I did massive amounts of cleaning but loved it as I enjoy being physically fit. I fed, watered and organized playgroups for 50 dogs. I found it fascinating learning the different breeds and sizes that enjoy playing together. Eventually after noticing certain times of the year kennels were empty I asked to start a dog day care. It became wildly successful as I equally loved the parents of my dogs, keeping them close with daily report cards, dog birthday parties and social events. Later I worked for Lexi Dog Social Club in Portland supervising their dog playgroups. Eventually taking dogs into my home to board as that service was not offered then by Lexi Dog. My three children grew up surrounded by dogs of all breeds, now amazing people with their knowledge and experience. I have lots of references as even when their pets cross the rainbow bridge they still stay in contact with me to say hi to my kids that their pets grew up with. I love what I do and know you will too. Give me a try as I will go out of my way to keep you connected even while you are away with phone calls and pictures so you may sleep easy at night. I will be sleeping with your puppy dog or close by what ever they prefer.
Your pup will also always be with me,never home alone.......

About Carol C.:

I am very easy to talk to and be with. I love babysitting dogs and enjoy most the ones who need extra attention to be comfortable in a new setting away from Mom,Dad and siblings. I am patient,kind,loving and have tons of experience with dogs.

How long have you been a dog lover? Tell us about your history with dogs.

I have been a dog lover all my life continueing to read,study them and take on new challenges every year to learn more about them. I have had many different breeds myself and babysat lots more. Have I bee bit? Yes,lots of times but never out of anger,mostly over food issues or fear. I have never met a dog I didnt like. I am very good at watching dogs with seperation anxiety as I dont mind having them follow me every where I go,even into the bath room...lol Small insecure dogs I carry in a doggie sling around my neck.

What would you like to know about a dog before sitting him or her? Do you have any breed preferences?

I would like to know if your baby is food aggressive, prefers to sleep with a person or in their own kennel. I also need to know if they take any medication or if they are an escape artist, meaning they need to be on a leash even if they are in my back yard- which is fenced, along with any separation anxiety issues they might have.

Do you have reliable transportation in the event of an emergency?

Yes. I have a 2000 toyota sienna van that has given me no trouble.

Are you comfortable administering medication?

Yes. I have done so,often around the clock and I dont charge extra for it.

How much time do you plan on spending with my dog each day?

All my time. If I need to go somewhere I'll take your dog. This is what I live to do........

If you have a backyard, please describe it.

My back yard isnt huge but I like it that way so I can see my dogs at all times. It is fully fenced and secure. I never leave dogs unattended in my back yard. I sit outside and watch them play or I play with them.

Where will my dog sleep?

With me or where the dog prefers.

Where will you take my dog on walks? Tell me about it.

I will walk your dog around my neighborhood which loves dogs so she or he will make lots of friends or over to the huge park up my street that has lots of beautiful trails to walk........I will walk your dog with a neighbor dog that needs to get out if they are a good match also.....

My husband and I were pretty concerned we might not find the right person to take care of our kinda high maintenance Jojo while we went on vacation, but Carol was perfect. She is warm, calm, and has a genuine love of dogs that makes her a fantastic sitter. Not only was Jojo in a great, post-vacation mood when he got home, but he was also clean! Carol texted updates to us andprinted out pictures of Jojo and her family for us. It felt more like we sent Jojo to stay at his second home than a sitter. Thank you so much Carol! (Collapse)

We met Carol at a dog park 7 1/2 years ago. She has watched our Bailey ever since then. Bailey loves going to her house. She gets excited when we pull into the driveway and she realizes where we are. Bailey fits right in and is part of their family while she stays there. I'm at ease while we are away because I know she is in good hands and not locked up in a kennel. Carol is very reliable and is very available to watch her, even for last minute get aways. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet while you are away. (Collapse)
