Pet care experience
Paws to enjoy the good life here
Having pets myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your beloved companions. I remember taking my own dogs to kennels and feeling as if they spent most of their time waiting for me to return. When I discovered Rover, I loved the idea that pet parents could find a caring, home-based alternative—either at a sitter’s home or in their own familiar environment. As a Rover sitter, I care for pets and homes exactly as I hope someone would care for mine. I have an established clientele of pups I care for in my home (since 2019) and have recently begun to enjoy in-home sitting as well, bringing the same dedication and attention to detail your pet deserves in their own home. I am a very clean person, respectful of your space, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, always seeking detailed instructions to ensure your pet’s needs and routines are thoroughly met. I’m also excited to share that I am now offering dog walking services and drop-in visits, providing pups with daily exercise, stimulation, and companionship—perfect for busy pet parents who want their dogs to stay happy and healthy even on their busiest days.

Carol is so great with our dogs. She is reliable and easy to communicate with. We are so happy to have her help when we have to leave our dogs behind.
Very good with communication, which was super important for me. Showed up at the times we agreed on and was wonderful. I highly recommend her!
Absolutely fabulous! One of our dogs can be ornery, but Carol handled him without any fuss!! Home was just as we had left it!
Carol was wonderful taking care of Jolene! She sent lots of updates and made sure our anxious girl was well loved!

Schedule
I work full-time 100% remote so I have the flexibility to care for your pets while I am working. I do like to head home for a few hours a day if house sitting to be with my family. My husband cares for our pups who are visiting and our own, if I'm away.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment where they can follow their usual routines, including feeding, exercise, and playtime, while ensuring they have access to fresh water and cozy resting spots. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s familiar surroundings, adhere closely to the owner’s instructions on diet, medication, and daily habits, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind. Whether at my place or the client’s, I prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness by giving them attentive, loving care tailored to their needs.
Pets
A typical day
When watching pets, I engage them in fun activities suited to their personality and energy levels, such as interactive play with toys, fetch, gentle walks or runs, and brain games like treat puzzles if available. For more relaxed pets, I offer cozy cuddle time, petting sessions, and quiet companionship. I also tailor activities to their favorite pastimes, whether it’s a game of tug-of-war, exploring the outdoors, or simply lounging in the sun together. My goal is to keep pets entertained, stimulated, and happy while they’re in my care.
