Highlights
Pet care experience
Peace of mind for your furry friend
I grew up with two cats and have taken care of friends' and neighbors' pets over the years. In 2021, I helped crate train my uncle's 3 large dogs (1 German Shepherd and 2 Labs). We also worked on reducing reactivity to joggers and other dogs on our walks. I feel comfortable using various leashes and collars. I treat every pet like they were my own, with patience and love. I also follow instructions to the letter so your pet never experiences a deviation from their schedule. ***I will be relocating to Brooklyn in October 2026.***

Safety, trust & environment
I can be available to stay at your place and take care of your pet while you're away. I like to take photos and videos of your pet to make sure you know how much fun they're having.
Ratings and reviews
Carol was fantastic, as always! She's communicative, kind, and patient with our pup, sending great updates and photos that kept us confident she was in good hands — whether it meant navigating rain or administering medications. We came home to one very happy pup and a spotless home.
Carol was absolutely incredible with Wally. He is very nervous around new people, and when she first stayed with him, it took him almost a full day to feel comfortable enough to come out of his crate. Carol was beyond patient with him and never tried to rush or force him. She worked with him at his pace, tried different things to help him feel safe and comfortable, and was incredibly communicative with me throughout the entire process. I was across the country and obviously stressed knowing Wally was having a hard time, and Carol kept me updated constantly and made me feel so much better knowing how patient and thoughtful she was being with him. By the end of the stay, Wally had completely warmed up to her and was cuddling with her, which says everything about how much trust she was able to build with him. I’m so grateful for the amount of care, patience, and effort Carol put into understanding Wally and making him comfortable. I would absolutely trust her with him again and couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Carol was great yet again! She’s so prompt, kind, and communicative. We’re grateful to have her help with Lemon’s walks.
Carol took excellent care of our cat and dog. She was flexible with our changing travel schedule and sent regular updates.
Carol was great watching my cat, Beau! She was very communicative and sent great photos. My cat also loves her, too!
Carol has dropped in on my cat several times, and this past time she went above and beyond! She values the safety and happiness of your pet, and she is one of the few people I trust to watch Peanut.

Schedule
Currently I'm available on the weekends and in the mornings/afternoons (before 10am and after 3pm) to do drop ins or house sit. However, I will be completely available, all times of day, for the month of September. In October 2026, I will be relocating to Brooklyn.

- I've taken care of many different types of dogs, from shy/anti-social corgis to somewhat aggressive German Shepherds. I only ask that if your pet has any behavioral quirks, that we do one or two meet ups so they start to associate me with being a trustworthy caregiver.
