Family w/ toddlers, all love dogs!

Pet care experience

My husband and I grew up with both small and large dogs and have adopted furry friends as adults. We had a German Shepherd/lab mix named Ash, who passed away spring of 2022. We adopted a black lab mix named Raven Fall of 2022, she is very dog friendly and loves to meet new dog friends! We have 2 toddlers who love when we have dogs visiting. I have a job that often allows me to work from home, and can give your pooch extra attention during those occasions. We live in a house with a fenced in yard for dogs to lounge around when the weather allows for it, and love to go for walks on beautiful days! We are both runners, and enjoy getting additional exercise with our furry friends. We are the go-to caretakers for several of our friends' dogs when they go out of town. We would love to watch your special pooch for you!

Carol took great care of my dog while we were out of town -- she got to play with Carol's dog and had lots of walks -- Carol sent pictures and updates every day.

Mila really enjoyed her stay with Carol!! She has made new friends with Carol's dog Raven and her kids. I received daily updates and pictures which have been so helpful. Mila is a bit shy with new people usually and I could see her warming up very quickly to Carol's family, which is always a very good sign! I would definitely recommend Carol and would love to have Mila stay over again!!
