“It was the first time my 10 years old "princess" dog stayed with Carol and she did an excellent job adapting my dog's routine to her home life, providing daily walks, play time, and cuddle time. She made sure to discuss and understand my dog's needs before her stay. Carol sent me daily pictures/videos with a brief note about what they did that day and how my dog behaved, which I really like. It is good to know how my dog behaves when I am not around. On my return, I picked up a calm and happy dog which had had all her walks and dinner so I could finally get back home and relax. I am very happy with my dog's stay with Carol.”
