Pet Sitter with Dog Gone Walking

My name is Carol and I lost my 13 year old Doberman Great Dane mix in July. Not ready to take on a new pet but would love to help you take care of yours. I love animals of all sizes and shapes and have over 30 years’ experience caring for dogs, cats, and birds. My experience includes puppies as well as senior dogs. Being an empty nester who works from home, I enjoy setting my own schedule. It allows me to be flexible and able to accommodate those last minute requests. You will find me to be very reliable, patient, and caring with your pet. I am comfortable working with puppies that aren't fully house-broken or that may need some basic obedience training. I am available 7 days a week and most holidays. Please visit my calendar to check for exact dates. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any special requests or concerns. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet will be cared for in a loving friendly manner. I will keep your pet safe and happy!

Carol did a good job and followed instructions well. My cats were well cared for and she arrived promptly at the designated times. I recommend her!

Carol did a great job with my dog Bailey. Bailey is 14.5 years old and deaf. I was worried about leaving her. She had always stayed with family in the past. Carol took great care of her. I came home and Bailey seemed so happy and content. Carol sent notes and great pictures after every visit. I highly recommend and will definitely use Carol in the future.

Carol did a great job with my dog, Bailey. I needed someone that could handle a senior dog that is deaf and had some urination issues. Carol was great. She sent amazing g pictures all weekend. I came home to a happy and settled dog. I would definitely recommend Carol. I will be using her in the future!!

This was our first time using a pet sitter that wasn't our son. I chose Carol because of her experience with senior pets. Our cats are 17 and 7. Our senior cat, Lucy greeted Carol every day that we were away. I know she was happy that Carol was there to give her food and some attention. Carol, left them plenty of food and fresh water. She even swept up the cat litter on the floor, so I wouldn't have to worry about it when I arrived home. I would use Carol's services again if I ever needed a pet sitter.

I love Carol, but more importantly my cat loves Carol! He’s sometimes wary of new people but ran right up to her for attention when she came to meet him the first time. While I was out of town for vacation, Carol sent updates and photos every time she came over to feed him so I knew he was well cared for and getting some playtime and cuddles. She’s very professional and great at communicating and will be my first choice whenever I am out of town in the future.

Carol is a true professional and is so wonderful with our dog scout. Dogs can really read people I think and Scout took to her immediately. Carol has been helping my family with walking our dog twice a day and she is punctual to the minute in all weather and is always pleasant and patient. We know that we can rely on her. She is knowledgeable and always helpful as well as safety-minded. it's really a great thing to know that you have someone you can trust your furry family member with!

I would like to know of any special needs, relating to personality, health care, and feeding. Does your dog have any particular behavioral or personality quirks? Also, how does your dog handle on leash, and how your dog tolerates other people or animals while out and about on walks?
