Carol's Canines

Pet care experience

I walk my dog a Bavarian Mountain Hound 2 to 3 times a day. I love to be outside with my dog. My husband and I are retired so someone is always at home to be with the dog. I have had dogs since I was a girl. Living inPort Washington allows me to easily walk dogs along the lakeshore or in the many parks we have. We also have many trails for walking. Many other folks with dogs in the neighborhood. We also have a place on a lake in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan which is also a very dog friendly area offering many possibilities for exercise. We spend most of the time from May until November in the Upper Peninsula. Look forward to sitting your dog.

Carol was such a wonderful dog sitter for Muggsy while we were visiting Wisconsin. We received consistent updates on how things were going and Muggsy came back well fed, well walked, and well loved! We would gladly have Carol watch our dog again.

Carol has took care of my Max recently when I was on vacation. The is the second time I've used her. She is very caring and conscientious. She gave Max lots of love and attention in my absence. He seemed very content in her home. I'd recommend Carol to anyone looking for a sitter!

I have a rescue dog and was very concerned about a placement for him when I went away for a few days. When I contacted Carol, she responded promptly and suggested a meet-and-greet so that Max and I could get to meet her and her dog. She was very reassuring and I felt much better about leaving Max with her. While I was gone Carol sent me a daily photo and note about how Max was doing. She took him on daily walks and never left him alone. He was so comfortable with her that he didn't appear at all affected by my absence! I will certainly use Carol again - she and her husband are definitely loving, caring people.

I wrote a long, impassioned review a year ago when we used Carol for our dog Tyson. It didn't post for some reason but I'll try again to convey what Carol means to our family. I needed a very last minute reservation. We were going to FL and I was dreading sending my senior dog to doggie day care. When we picked him up after our FL trip the year before he had terrible diarrhea & a swollen paw he couldn't put weight on When we arrived he was hysterical, crying loudly, clawing to get out of the building, almost escaping into the street! He wanted out so badly. It ended with a $600 vet bill! I was dreading leaving him again and almost didn't go with the family on vacation until someone mentioned DV. It sounded perfect! Now I had to find someone who was willing to always be home due to his severe separation anxiety. I was so lucky to find Carol. She and her kind husband were both so patient and understanding with Tyson. And their dog Jama is the BEST DOG EVER! She welcomed Tyson like he was an old friend! Even though she was bigger, stronger and half his age she knew how to play at just his level. She was so good with him. I just love her so much! But the true test was when I came to pick him up. Both he & Jama happily wagged tails & said hello but within about 2 min they forgot all about me & were happily wrestling again! I was thrilled! An added bonus, Tyson looked great! 10+ mile walks had him looking trimmer and more muscular! This family loves dogs and it shows!
