TRUSTED, EXPERIENCED DOG SITTER

Pet care experience

TLC for your pets while you're away. Your precious dog will be loved while in my care. Pampering and spoiling your pet in comfortable, quiet "dog friendly" surroundings in my home, with its large fenced, treed yard. Your pet will be safe and happy, while staying in my home. I've been an animal lover all my life and have been a mother to many dogs over the years. Parents can leave home knowing their pets are in excellent hands. I am very familiar with giving pet medications, and adhere to all feeding and medication instructions. I prefer one or two dogs per dog family. This allows for a lot of individual attention and less confusion and anxiety. If permitted by the owner, dogs are allowed on furniture and may sleep with me. Also, I walk your dog twice a day, weather permitting. I brush their coat daily and will bathe them if needed.

Carol took great care of our dog, Theo. He is used to being the star of the show and Carol made sure he felt right at home. The kids appreciated her pictures and messages showing that he was clearly comfortable and well taken care of. Thanks so much!

Carol is absolutely WONDERFUL!! She is a beautiful person and incredibly loving of our Lani. She’s a great communicator and so considerate of the dogs needs. She gave Lani and bath and even got her a new harness as she had grown out fit the one I sent with her. All around 5* I am so fortunate to have found her!!
