We are unable to care for pets in our home due to community HOA restrictions. But we would love to take care of your fur babies in their own comfortable surroundings!

Information Carol & Jim G. would like to know about your pet

We would need to know of any separation anxiety concerns, and medications, both oral and injections. And if the dogs are hesitant, defensive or difficult to lease.

A typical day

Daily visits would include walks, play time in the yard, plenty of interacting and belly rubs! Treats, of course, if allowed. As retirees, we can either stay with your pets most of the day or make four visits per day (at around 7:00am, Noon, 5:00pm and 9:30pm, for example). If we are staying overnight, we would leave after the morning feeding/walks and return at Noon and 5:00pm for dinner before coming back at around 9:30 and staying the night. This is dependent on the owner's requirements. Full time, 24/7 service is available when necessary.

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.

Carol and Jim are truly exceptional pet sitters. From the moment they walked through the door, my pets were instantly comfortable with them — which says everything. They are attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. I always felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in their hands. They treated my animals like family, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I have known Carol And Jim Grossman for over 10 years. During that time they provided dog sitting services for our two Labrador Retrievers. They provided dependable safe dog care for our animals. Care instructions were followed and we never had to worry about the dogs when Jim and Carol were watching them. Care visits were timely and the dogs were exercised as we instructed them. We have both relocated away from each other and I truly miss not having them to depend on for our dog sitting services.
