Chemist and full-time dog lover.

Pet care experience

Hi all! I owe my pet care skills development to my beagle angel, Toby, who has taught me patience and pure love. It is known we are non-deserving of these beautiful creatures so spending every single minute appreciating, caring and loving them is the least we can do. Currently, I am a radiochemist at UPenn and I myself with the ability to spend more time committing to wholesome activities (specifically being around dogs). I figured that besides volunteering at the shelter, providing a 1:1 hands on service can also be benefiting for both myself, the client and the pups. I've always instantly develop a relationship with dogs, even throw kisses at then from across the road. With that said, I would be delighted to provide these services for your pet when you cannot.

Carol did a wonderful job watching our two dogs (two former strays, both husky mixes, they can be a lot). She followed all instructions, provided frequent updates, and left our house exactly as she found it. Our dogs seemed to be very happy and well taken care of. We absolutely trust Carol in our home and with our dogs (and plants), and will definitely be hiring her again.

Carol was a great sitter for our puppy. She immediately made Bruster feel comfortable and we knew he was in good hands while we were out and about. We would definitely ask Carol to puppy sit for us again!

I knew Carol for four yeas when we were in grad school together. During that time, she cared for multiple animals and even fostered a dog for about 3 months. She grew up with animals and has a very kind and caring way with them. I think she would make a wonderful sitter.

Carol is extremely loving and takes her time to ensure that her pets are receiving her full care and support. The love she has for pets is unmatched and it shows in her efforts to care for them.

I would make sure they are fed according to their schedule, that they remain hydrated and that they get potty breaks every 2hrs or after eating. It goes without saying that I would cuddle and play with them, too.

A typical day

A typical day starts with cuddles, making the best of breakfast time as well as waiting for the first droppings of the day. I like to play with pups soon after that and many times I find they tire out and take a nap mid-morning. If pup takes snacks during the day, I make sure to have those ready and if the owner has stimulating toys, the rest of the time would be spent with those as well letting them rest when they feel sleepy.
