Pet care experience

Veterinary Nurse | Meds & Seniors

Hi! I’m Carol and I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life. My love for animals led me to earning a Bachelors of Science degree in Animal Medicine and I am a licensed veterinary nurse (CVTg). I worked 13 years in general practice, surgery, orthopedics, internal medicine, cardiology and emergency. From puppies to seniors, nervous/anxious or special needs - I welcome all dogs. While we all want our pups to be healthy forever, my background offers the unique ability to provide expert elevated care and guidance if needed. With me, you’re not just getting a dog walker, you’re getting a lifetime of professional training, knowledge and elite skill set.

Safety, trust & environment

Having worked wildlife, zoo animal, marine animal, farm animal, equine and small animal medicine - I’ve seen all sides of animal behavior. What matters most, to not only the animal but to the owner as well, is always trust. I will always take my time to understand your pets personality and routine. Consistency and patience is key. I’m not their trainer or behaviorist (though I do have training in both) - I’m there to be a friend and caregiver. That doesn’t mean I can’t handle the anxious or unruly furry friends - I love a skeptic and the advanced behavioral training and handling I have under my belt makes me particularly suited for the spicier personalities.

Carol is great. She is professional, proactive, and knowledgeable on pet care. I felt Callie was in good hands with Carol. I look forward to future opportunities to work with her

Choose Carol!! I’d like to give 10 stars! Carol was fantastic and kind - she treated our dog like her own and was an absolute dream to work with. When we come back again , we will definitely get back in touch. I could not recommend her more highly.

Carol was a very calming person for my very nervous dog. Knowing my Reese was in good hands calmed me too. Would recommend.

Carol walked our little pup for the first time and we will definitely be using her again! She was very professional, timely and friendly. My dog immediately took to her. Highly recommend!

Carol was amazing! You can immediately tell she has a ton of experience with dogs, and her background as a vet tech gave me so much peace of mind. As someone who worries about every little thing with my pup, that made a huge difference. She kept me updated, was incredibly reliable, and I always knew my pup was in great hands. Finding someone you trust with your dog isn’t easy, but Carol exceeded every expectation. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat!

I can’t recommend her enough! She is incredibly reliable, dependable, and has an amazing connection with dogs. I’ve never met anyone who is so patient, caring, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. When one of our dogs was battling cancer, she went above and beyond to give him the extra love, attention, and gentle care he needed. Her compassion during that difficult time meant so much to our family. I trust her completely with my dogs and know they are always safe, happy, and loved in her care. She treats every dog like they’re her own, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your precious pets, she’s the one
