Pet care experience

Neighbor dog lady

Growing up we had dogs and lived them all. Got on my own I had a total of 3 dogs and thought I would not have a cat but did and would not have traded her for nothing. Did pet sitting for an older small dog and all went well. Have raised 2 dogs from puppies and one was easy and the other not. I just love animals large or small and right now I'm without any animals. So to be able to take care of and play with dogs of different sizes would be awesome. Dogs and cats are so unique and they make my day and make me smile.

When we were away one of our dog’s took a turn and had to be put down while we were away, unexpectedly. He was so sick we couldn’t get back to be there in person. Carol was wonderful, putting us on FaceTime and staying with our Tucker. She was then so caring of our other dog until we could get home the next day. We highly recommended her!

This is the second time that we left Junior with Carol and like the last time, Junior came home relaxed and calm. Carol was very good at giving us daily updates with pictures. Thanks again, Carol, for taking good care of our beloved Junior. Until next time 🙂.

Carol lovingly took care of our beloved Junior and regularly sent us updates about him and what they're doing. We know that Junior felt at home with Carol while we were away because he looked relaxed when we picked him up. We highly recommend Carol to be the loving caregiver of your beloved pet when you need one. Thank you so much, Carol, until next time. God bless!

Carol did such a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were away for a week. She left our house tidy, and took excellent care of our dog while navigating winter storms on our travel days. While I had so much anxiety being gone during the storms (and potentially being stuck and unable to return home) Carol kept my mind at ease and I knew my dog was in great hands. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone and will absolutely rebook for future needs!

Safety, trust & environment

My animals are always treated like family. They are not meant to be tied up outside either. I feed them well and of course some treats. My philosophy is they can sleep anywhere they want, including my bed. There should be a bed for the dog or cat in more.than one room. Do my best to keep them safe from hazards just like a child.

A typical day

I really love playing with dogs and or cats. Like playing with them and their toys, give them belly rubs. Also give treats when they have been good Take the dog for a walk in the park and in the dog pen where they can run around and play. Just love playing with dogs.

Often a dog has a special need and that would not deter me from watching the dog. I love all dogs or animals and I treat them as if they were my own. All I need for a special needs animal is what I need to do for the dog or cat and will follow your instructions. I have a dog with a medical issue, so giving meds is no problem or accommodating for their needs is no problem.
