Love on 4 paws... Priceless!

I love working with animals! I have worked as a trainer as well as in boarding and daycare environments! In total, I have 6-8 years experience based on my history with Rover and other jobs that I’ve held. Communication: I highly appreciate communication on both sides of the spectrum. The pet parent's communication with me and my communication with them on the details of their animal’s health and well-being is important. It helps ensure that I can watch out for your animal family successfully. PLEASE READ for SAFETY AND EXTREME HEAT STIPULATIONS: I will not walk a dog in extreme temperatures unless they have foot protection (booties). As hot as it gets in the AZ summer, the pavement will burn the dog’s paw pads and cause extreme discomfort and I do not want to risk injury. If they do not have any paw protection for a walk, an alternative solution will need to be agreed upon. If the walk is early in the morning (before 9AM) this does not apply. Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions, please reach out. If necessary, I am more than willing to transport animals in my car to wherever they need to go. My car carries more animals in it than it does humans. I hope to provide the best pet care possible for your animal family! Blessings.

Safety, trust & environment

I have previously lived with two dogs in my home and regularly helped with their care. That includes but is not limited to: refilling water, feeding, letting them out for potty breaks, spoiling them, occasionally walk them first thing in the morning, as well as administer medication when needed.

Carol did an excellent job watching all of our animals (2 cats and a GSD puppy) and our home while we were gone. Everyone was well cared for and she checked in regularly with anything that may of been a concern and photos of our babies. We will continue to use her in the future!!

Carol did a terrific job looking after our three dogs while we were away. She was very organized and professional, and we knew our dogs were well taken care of. We were very impressed with her ability to quickly make friends with our shy dog, Logan! If you're in need of a house/dog sitter, hire Carol!

Carol Ann is amazing! My dogs love her and she's such an animal lover!! Not to mention she's a great house guest, she's trustworthy and you can't even tell she's been there. Won't use anyone else!!

We were referred to Carol Ann by a close friend and there could have not been a better person I would have chose to watch our fur baby. She connected so well not only with your bandit but with our family as a whole. She treated our home with the utmost respect and our dog with such care and love. Her knowledge of the animal health field and mental well being was astounding. Having a degree as a vet tech I would know first hand if a person is knowledgeable or not, and I can say without a doubt, Carol Ann is. I would never want anyone other than Carol Ann to watch our bandit if ever in need of a pet sitter. Being an over protective mom, it is hard to trust your loved ones and family members to anyone's care than your own, but I trust her!

I have no breed preferences. I want to know as much as possible about the health, activity, likes and dislikes of an animal so that I can care for them as much and as best as possible.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
