Safety, trust & environment

Drop-in visits require a level of trust and responsibility that I am able to provide. I am professional and will navigate issues with your pet and home as needed. Your pet will have safe and attentive visits and I will communicate with you about how the visit went and if there are any concerns. I can provide personal references as well. When I walk your dog, I can go in your neighborhood or travel to a local hiking spot or dog park.

Information Carol O. would like to know about your pet

Meet & Greet consultations are very important so I can understand your pet's needs and get a sense of your environment. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

A typical day

Dog walking can take place in your neighborhood or at a planned location. Drop-in visits will include feeding, enrichment, playtime and providing comfort. I often work with elderly pets, administer medication and basic post-surgical care following instructions from owner and veterinarian.

Thank you again! Cats are happy and clearly well cared for as always. Our cats have a few particular needs and Carol always does such a great job with them every time.

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.
