Highlights
Pet care experience
I like dogs more than people :-)
Hi! My name is Carol and I love dogs, but unfortunately cannot support one of my own. I frequently watch my friends’ dogs - I love that I’m helping them out while low-key renting a fur baby. I trained my childhood dog, Lady (the chunky yellow lab mix, pictured above), to walk off the leash with me, to poo outdoors, and basic table manners. While I do not have any degree or certification for working with animals, I’ve learned so much by raising my own pup. I also have a 10-year old cat and have experience taking care of chickens, reptiles, bunnies, and other less common pets. I am very flexible and appreciate good communication - I'm happy to go out of my way to make your life easier with enough notice! I just moved to Atlanta, so I have a flexible schedule that can be easily accommodated to your requests. Thank you for your consideration and please contact me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment
I have worked with reactive dogs before, so I am very cautious and aware of my surroundings when on walks, regardless of the temperament of the pup I'm caring for. If you have any specific things to look out for when it comes to your pup, I'm happy to take note.
Ratings and reviews
Our anxious little doggo was in such good hands with Carol. She administered medicine and comforted him during a storm. He got lots of walks and a trip to his favorite restaurant. She left the house just as she found it and kept us updated throughout our trip. 10/10 will book her again.
I had an excellent experience. Carol was very kind and made sure to provide updates at every significant stage throughout the day. I would definitely book again ☺️
Carol was great! We had a power outage at my home and she made sure to take care of my dog and get her to a safe location with AC as well as keep me updated the whole time. She was very communicative and responsive. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend!
Carol was a lifesaver! Having her take care of my two dogs -one whom is a senior girl - allowed me to truly enjoy my vacation without worry about them. This was the first time I had left my senior dog with someone for longer than a weekend, and Carol made the experience completely stress-free. She checked in regularly with photos, was always responsive, and took fantastic care of my old lady. Of course, she also spoiled my other girl with plenty of love and attention! Carol is professional, reliable, and communicative, and she took great care of my home as well. She even had to deal with construction in my backyard while I was away, and it didn't faze her one bit. I highly recommend Carol and will absolutely trust her watch my two babies again!!
Carol came through for me in a pinch! It was my first time using her and I'm glad I did. She was very prompt and communicated throughout the visit putting me at ease. If I need a sitter again I'll definitely be reaching out to her. Thanks Carol!
Carol took excellent care of my dog while I attended a conference in Austin. My dog is a high maintenance, elderly Chihuahua and Carol is attentive to her needs. Carol is also great at communicating and keeping me updated on my dog while she’s in her care.

Schedule
I am currently studying for my real estate license and working remotely, so my schedule is very flexible. Please let me know with enough notice as possible what time you need me to arrive/depart so that I can plan my schedule around yours :)
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsCarol can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I do not have a breed preference, but I need to know if your pup has any reactive tendencies - whether it's with people, dogs, other animals, large vehicles, etc. All dogs are good dogs, I just need to know what kind of temperament they have so that there aren't any surprises :)
