Huge animal loving family.

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm everyone's favorite pet sitter. Specially the pets. My routine consisted of waking up before the sun, getting everyone fed and washed up for the day. Take my girls to school, and head to happy tails dog park depending on the weather we usually stay for 2 to 3 hours chatting and playing and walking around the huge dog park. Then we come back home, wash up and enjoy a treat (usually turkey bacon) movies cuddles and probably a furry nap... before we know it, it's time to get the girls from school. All the kids in front of school Aw and ohh at us and we get super excited picking up the girls, which bonus, also give the best ear and belly rubs ever. Then we are headed back home to change clothes and go for a family walk. Afterwards it's dinner time, for everyone yum😋. And then it's bathe and brush teeth. Once the girls are tucked in for the night we take a quick potty break and finish anything that needs to be done and read and or watch videos. Once it's bed time around 11 ish we go for out final walk, once we are all in bed we are out like fainting goats lol. You'll have nothing to fear because you will get pictures and video updates as frequently as you'd like. Come join our family fun, it'll be great if your our +1 I'm a home maker and animal care taker since 2014. Which include but not limited to walks every 4 hours as needed. can administer meds, meals, treats ,cuddles ,and love. I dont like crates but if owner brings one I will use it if advised. Please no aggressive dogs it's not about the BREED, I'm saying its Temperament and behavior). If your dog is aggressive to other animals and or children it cannot stay in my home. If you are unsure take them to a dog park to find out, NOT my home. that being said, my house is safe for all dogs, I protect and care for every fur baby.

This was my first time using Rover. I am ver pleased with the professionalism and care provided by Carol from the moment I contacted her to after I picked up my Pax. She answered my questions and relieved all concerns prior to confirming boarding. Pax took to her right away. It was nice that she has children and a dog so my dog could socialize. Carol sent updates with pics and my dog was well cared for. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs.

Carol is a wonderful person and a tremendous dog parent! Her dog is also the perfect hostess and made my dog FlipFlop feel right at home. And her daughter loved on FlipFlop, who misses my daughters so that was a nice bonus. I appreciated the pictures that she sent and it was obvious that my three day vacation was also a vacation for my dog. So nice, will be very comfortable and happy to have Carol watch FlipFlop anytime.

Carol did a great job of taking care of my boy on short notice, sending pictures & even providing a leash. I’m moving, but I would definitely choose her as #1 sitter again!

Are they fixed how long they will be staying are they aggressive what do they like to eat is there anything you don't want them to eat have any strict rules that you want me to abide by.

A typical day

I love brisk walks, get the blood flowing, and I'm a talker and cuddler. I talk to pets like they understand... People without pets probably think I'm a weirdo... I love complementing a good pet with belly rubs, and back scratches.giving their head and ears a good run. Every pet I've ever had stays under my feet. Truly. And I love meeting new ones.

Monday through Friday mornings start at 7am potty breaks while my girls brush teeth and hair, then we load into car to take kids to school. After dropping them off we arrive at happy tails dog park at around 8:30 am and stay for hour or so, then head home for breakfast. Then it's cuddles and rubs, I usually work from home a couple hours a day on computer, then I enjoy my painting hobby for an hour or so. By 2pm we are having another potty break. Then at 3:15 we are picking up the kids and heading back to dog park... ( mainly because it let's the kids and dogs play outside and burn out some of that endless energy) around 4:40 pm we are back home and im making dinner for everyone. By 6 p.m. everyone has eaten and washed up and it's time for a walk and to relax together until 8pm. Girls go to bed, I tidy up, and enjoy a book cuddling on couch with fur babies with peace and quiet, lol last walk of the night happens around 11p.m. then it's bed time, until 7a.m. the next morning
