Safety, trust & environment

One aspect I take particular pride in is creating a safe and engaging environment for the dogs. This involves securing the surroundings, removing potential hazards, and ensuring that the space is comfortable and stimulating. I often incorporate interactive toys and engage in activities that align with each dog's preferences and energy levels. Observation and communication are key elements of my approach to pet care. I pay close attention to the dogs' body language, ensuring that I am attuned to their needs and emotions. Clear communication with the owners is also a priority, as it helps me gather insights into the dogs' quirks, preferences, and any special requirements they may have. In addition to the daily routines, I am well-versed in administering medications, following specific dietary restrictions, and handling any unexpected situations that may arise. Whether it's a quick visit for feeding and bathroom breaks or an extended stay, I am committed to providing attentive and loving care to ensure the well-being and happiness of the pets in my charge.

A typical day

Daily Routine: Morning Strolls: The day kicks off with a refreshing morning stroll, allowing your dog to stretch their legs, and enjoy some fresh air. Playtime: Throughout the day, designated playtimes are scheduled, ensuring your pup gets plenty of exercise and socialization. Whether it's a game of fetch in the backyard or some interactive play indoors, I typically tailor the activities to suit your dog's preferences and energy levels. Work Companion: As I work from home, your dog will have the company of a friendly face throughout the day. I make sure to incorporate short breaks for pets, belly rubs, and cuddle sessions to keep them happy and engaged. Feeding Schedule: A consistent feeding schedule is maintained, aligning with your dog's accustomed routine. Special dietary needs and preferences are accommodated, ensuring that your pup receives the nutrition they deserve. Afternoon Rest & Evening Explorations: The day concludes with another leisurely walk, allowing your dog to explore and enjoy the calming atmosphere as the sun sets. Nighttime: Your dog will have a comfortable and secure space for a good night's sleep. Bedtime routines, if any, will be followed to provide a sense of familiarity and comfort. Weekly Highlights: Field Trips: Weather permitting, we may embark on occasional field trips to local parks, ensuring your dog has new and exciting experiences beyond the backyard. Updates and Communication: I understand the importance of staying connected with you. Expect regular updates, photos, and videos to keep you informed about your furry friend's activities and well-being. In my home, your pet becomes a cherished member of my extended family. Their well-being is at the heart of my daily and weekly routines, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and content throughout their stay.

Pet care experience

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to provide pet care services for numerous friends, taking on the responsibility of caring for their beloved dogs as if they were my own. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of various dog breeds and temperaments but has also allowed me to form strong bonds with furry companions. My pet-sitting philosophy revolves around creating a home away from home for the dogs under my care. I believe in maintaining a routine that mirrors their usual schedule to minimize stress and anxiety. This includes regular feeding times, walks, play sessions, and even cuddle time for those pups who thrive on human interaction.

Carol was fantastic! She communicated regularly, followed all of our dogs’ care instructions, and made sure they were comfortable and happy throughout her stay. She sent plenty of daily photo updates, kept them active, and clearly treated them with genuine care. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. We highly recommend and will absolutely book with her again!

Carol communicated everything going on with our dogs while we were out. She handled one of my dogs that was having severe anxiety very well and although I'm sure it was a headache to deal with, she still communicated everything clearly to us every day. The updates were great and included many pictures and videos of our pups.
