Pet care experience

Never met a dog I didn't love...

Growing up on a farm, I’ve been surrounded by dogs of every shape, size, and temperament, and I truly love them all. I currently work part-time from home, accompanied by my 13-year-old Yorkie, Henry. I’m also the proud host of "Grandma’s Doggie Camp" whenever my daughter travels, and her two pups always look forward to their visits. The house feels far too quiet when they’re gone, and I would love the opportunity to welcome your dogs into my home while you’re away. I understand how difficult it is to leave your pets, but I can promise they will receive patient, personalized, and abundant love. Honestly, my dream retirement is a home with a massive yard and a dozen dogs to care for—until then, I’d love to care for yours!

Carol did an amazing job taking care of Bruce for us while we went of town for the weekend. I would definitely book again.

Our experience with Carol went very smoothly. Great sitter with a home that was just right for our girl Cassie.

Carol was terrific. She kept me informed with texts and pictures during Maverick’s stay. Would not hesitate to book with her again.
