Carol's Camp for Canines

Pet care experience

My name is Carol and the first thing you will notice about me is that I love animals. Taking care of pets is my passion and something that I truly enjoy doing. Your dog would be treated like one of my own dogs. They will have ample exercise, play time and even some down time. I specialize in puppies and senior dogs. I have experience in house training, administering medications and insulin shots to dogs. I have four dogs of my own. I'm a pet sitter, groomer and trainer. I have been working with dogs for over 20 years. After working many years in a Law Office, I decided I needed a change of pace. I used to work part time at CampBowWow and it gave me the confidence to work with multiple types of dogs. As such, I launched my new career as a groomer and pet sitter. I also volunteer with the local animal shelter and have fostered many dogs and puppies for them. I have two pet therapy dogs that go on visits to a group home. I have also competed in agility with my Jack Russell. I love working with animals and have a passion for their care and well being. This is a husband and wife team so your dog is never left alone. I am also a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers Association; Volunteer with Angels for Animals Network and various other rescue groups.

We have three dogs and Carol is great with them. They don’t mind going which puts our minds at ease.

I have a fenced in yard, however your pet will never be out unattended. I have ample room in my home to keep your pet separated from my cats or bunnies if necessary. But I find most dogs do enjoy watching the bunnies as much as I do.

Information Carol R. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs and have taken care of a wide variety of dogs from Mastiffs to little toy breeds and even a few puppies. I have cared for senior dogs and have experience in administering medications and insulin shots. One of the main things I need to know is if your dog requires any special diet or medications. Some of my dogs are seniors and have the typical senior issues. I've dealt with blind dogs, three legged dogs and deaf dogs.

A typical day

Your dog will be walked daily around my neighborhood. They will have ample playtime and spend time outside in my back yard with me and my dogs. I have a doggy pool that I put out in the summer time that they can jump into.

I currently work from home so your pet would be a part of my pack. I do have a schedule so prefer drop off times before 8 am and pick up after 5 pm, but am flexible. On nice days I set my laptop on my patio so the dogs can enjoy some fresh air and nature.
