Pet care experience

Home full time with fenced yard!

I've been caring for dogs for most of my adult life. I currently have one lively pup of my own. I have years of experience with overnight dog care for family and friends. I'm affectionately known as "the dog whisperer." I can also care for senior dogs and administer medications. I have a spacious back yard with both open grassy and covered deck areas for your pets to enjoy when the weather permits. Your pups will get lots of love and attention, and I will do my best to ensure a happy stay during what can be a stressful time for some animals. Please let me know about any special needs your dog may have and I will be happy to accommodate you. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet soon!

We were so nervous leaving Willow with someone for the first time. Carol is wonderful! She is so patient and kind. She sent messages and pictures every day. She gave us piece of mind to be able to enjoy our vacation. We would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much!

Carol is excellent. Very patient with my dogs and she is a dog lover. I have an elder schnauzer and a young anxious doodle. We are repeat customers. Carol kept me updated with pictures and I am very comfortable leaving my babies with her.

Carol was great with Apollo…he warmed up to her and did not have any problems. She sent pictures and comments about his daily interaction with her. I will not hesitate to call upon her again in the future.
