Safety, trust & environment

I’m hard of hearing, so written instructions work best, plus showing how the routine goes, and I will adjust my work around your pet's needs.

Information Carol A. would like to know about your pet

Are they socialized? Are they good with other people? Are they good around other animals? This will help with deciding whether or not to use the dog park. Are they housebroken? What funny quirks do they have? Haven't met a breed I haven't liked; Pit Bulls are my faves so far, and goofball Goldens are a close second.

A typical day

We will go on fun walks around the neighborhood, or in the local dog park. We can play fetch and tug-of war; I'm also a master snuggler.

Kind and Affectionate Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I have grown up with cats and dogs; my parents have two dogs, and I have a cat. I cared for my parents' dogs full time for four years, and I have been a professional sitter with Rover for the past six. I built up my clientele over the past three years on Saint Simons Island, GA, providing consistent walking, boarding, cat care, and house sitting services. I love caring for all cats and dogs, and making sure they always feel at home. I have a knack for sensing what they need and have no problem letting pet parents know if something's off. I also plan in the future to become a certified Dog Obedience trainer, and am happy to teach your pup how to walk better if that's a need you have! I also have lots of experience with elderly/senior puppies (because they'll ALWAYS be puppies to us!) since my family has had a few, so I understand needing to go slower, and how to administer regular meds and just sit with them. I look forward to being the person you trust with all your fur babies!

Carol walked our dog twice a week for several months and was always prompt and professional! Penny loved her walks with Carol and we will miss her as our dog walker.

Our dog Winnie loves Carol. She has been such a blessing to us walking Winnie while we are at work.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
