Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Providing safety, building trust, and fostering an environment in which your pet feels safe is my highest priority. Drop-in visits allow your pets to stay at home whilst you are away. My many years of behavioral training experience allow me to call upon tools that make for a positive experience for your pets. I look forward to keeping your pets well loved & cared for while you are away.

I highly recommend Carlene for any pet care needs. She has dedicated a large part of her life to caring for, and training animals including marine mammals and, of course, her own cats. She makes a point of getting to know almost every cat and dog in the neighborhood! She also takes animal welfare very seriously. She is a true animal lover!
