Mom loves dogs!

Pet care experience

As my children were growing up, we had numerous pets (dog, cat, birds, fish and others) for whom I was the primary carer and trainer. We loved our pets! I have also taken care of friends and family pets over the years and enjoyed every minute!

Bentley loves his vacation stay with Carole! And we love the fact, that we never have to wonder if our Bentley is doing ok. He is treated like a 👑king!

We have booked with Carol numerous times now and she always does an exceptional job of caring for our dog while we’re gone. It can be stressful leaving our dog for a vacation but we’re at ease knowing he’s in good hands with Carol.

Carol was exceptional with our fur baby, Roxy. She demonstrated immense care, attention, and affection towards our furry friend throughout our absence. We returned home to a happy and healthy pup, thanks to her reliable and trustworthy service.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a wonderful neighborhood with sidewalks and lots of pets and walkers. My home is a comforting place and I can use an exterior door that has a double entry for any "darters". There will be very few steps that the pet will need to use, only to get into and out of the house. I will use my outside yard with the pet only if they are leashed as my yard is not totally fenced-in. I have a space in the kitchen where I put the food and water for the pet. I do have plants but can move them to a room that I keep closed, if needed. I love to cuddle on the sofa with a dog!
