Pet care experience

Dependable, Worry-Free Pet Care

My daughter and I had a business called Mother and Daughter Pet Sitting throughout her high school years. She is grown now but many of the clients have stuck with me over 10 years. Don't let my age fool you, I'm up for a good walk with a wagging tail friend.

Carol cares about our dog's health. She is willing to do more to ensure the well-being of our dog, e.g., taking prescription from the vet or taking our dog to the vet. We appreciate her help during our travel.

Carol is a very caring person. She arranged a meeting to know our pet and us before our pet stayed with her for a week. She is also very informative to provide us with our pet's updates. What we appreciate most is her love to the animals around her. This is also an attribute that you know she definitely takes a good care of your pet. We appreciate her care and help and will definitely work with her in the future.

Schedule

I recently retired from my day job but stay busy with a part-time job, yoga and as a radio host! Day assignments and early evenings are no problem. I may request my daughter's help with pet sitting from time to time. I will include her in the meet and greet if I think she may be helping. Her job is flexible and is a great back up for me.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is very important to me. Walks always require a leash and prefer no shock collars. Your safety requests will always be honored. I have a fenced yard but do hope to be able to care for your pet at your home. I do have the space to crate at our home if needed.

Pets

A typical day

Lots of hugs (if they allow) and attention. Let me know what fun activities they like for example ball chasing, playing with cat toys, go to dog parks and I will definitely incorporate into my visit.
