Information Carol D. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if an animal has any special needs. I am able to adapt to any special needs or circumstances that might arise in the course of time I am caring for your dog or cat; including medication and vet care.

A typical day

I love to take my furry friends on long walks thru Garland Park and up around Carmel Valley Ranch. When in Carmel, the scenic stroll along the Carmel Beach to Carmel River State Beach is every canines dream… so many new smells to enjoy and lots of new dogs along the way. I trained my Service dog Annabelle and enjoy working with animals. I have been a trained Horsewoman all my life, and ridden horses in Carmel Valley since I was a little girl. I particularly like to work with dogs and horses on corrective training, for behaviors that are undesirable. With that in mind, I also get a lot of joy when an animal adapts to training. Then getting to watch their confidence grow is pretty remarkable.

Pet care experience

I have had the joy of my Service Dog Annabelle for several years now. As a retired RN and horsewoman, animals are my joy in life. I care for dogs of all ages and sizes, including a special group of geriatric pet clients.

Everything was great and easy from booking to picking up our pup at the end of the day :)

Carol took wonderful care of my Golden Retriever, Haley, while I was away. Haley stayed in Carol’s home, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of. Carol provided regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. When I picked Haley up, she was relaxed and content. Carol is kind and reliable, I would absolutely trust her with Haley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.

Carol is extremely professional and has a great place for boarding my elusive elderly cat. I was impressed that Carol was able to coax Kitty out and give her some company - no mean feat. 100% would rebook.

My golden retriever, Haley, stayed with Carol for an overnight stay and everything went smoothly. Communication was good and I appreciated the updates during her stay.

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.
