Carol and Jim came to meet Bora and me before actually sitting for Bora. That made me feel so much more comfortable knowing they cared enough to let Bora know them but for me too! Jim was very excited to help. He arrived on time. He sent pictures and updates. We will definitely be asking them to sit for us always!

House Sitting • Jul 13, 2026

My Loki Bear caught a cold right before I was headed out of town. I was fortunate enough to find the Grossman’s to come and house sit with Loki. They were so nice and thoughtful and loved looking after Loki. And Loki enjoyed their company. They gave him his medicine on time and on schedule. He is feeling much better now that he got to stay home and rest up. I am definitely going to be using them to watch Loki again and again.

Recommendation for Carol Grossman. I am pleased to provide this recommendation for Carol Grossman. Carol worked at Sun Ranch Pet Hospital for six years as our Kennel Supervisor, where she consistently demonstrated exceptional dedication, reliability, and compassion in the care of animals. Throughout her employment, she proved herself to be a highly dependable team member who could always be counted on to handle her responsibilities thoroughly and professionally. Carol has a genuine love for animals and a natural ability to connect with them. Whether caring for healthy pets, senior animals, or those requiring special attention, she treated every animal as if it were her own. Her attention to detail was outstanding, and I always trusted her to notice subtle changes in an animal’s behavior, appetite, or comfort level and respond appropriately. In addition to her work at our hospital, Carol provided pet-sitting services for elderly members of her community. Her clients valued not only her excellent animal care skills but also her kindness, trustworthiness, and commitment to ensuring both pets and owners felt comfortable and secure. Carol is a true animal person whose compassion extends beyond simply meeting an animal’s basic needs. She understands the importance of routine, safety, and individualized care, and she approaches every responsibility with professionalism and genuine concern for the well-being of the pets entrusted to her. I recommend Carol without reservation for pet-sitting services through Rover or any other animal care position. Pet owners can feel confident that their animals will receive attentive, loving, and dependable care while in her hands. Sincerely, Rikia Park DVM Sun Ranch Pet Hospital

We highly recommend Jim & Carol Grossman as the most wonderful pet sitters ever! Our experience spans over 6 years and two different States (New Mexico & South Carolina) Their care, professionalism, attention to detail and loving ways says it all. My Yorkie is always so happy to see Jim and Carol, he hardly looks at me when I have to leave and that is piece-of-mind for me! No anxiety issues. I am completely at ease knowing my little Harry is in such loving, caring hands. Upon request, they will send you detailed updates and or photos of your pet. Carol's extensive background working at a premier veterinarian's practice in New Mexico is an exceptional benefit when you need to leave your beloved pet with a sitter. Always a plus! Our fur babies are like children to us and we all want the best possible care for them. So go for it! Call Jim & Carol today. They ARE the best.
