If your pet is comfortable free-roaming in my condo - they will have full access. If they get anxious in large spaces, I can gate off a smaller area. If they want to enjoy a view and a breeze, they can enjoy the patio --- or they can lay at my feet while I work. We'll enjoy walks through the neighborhood together and plenty of snuggles on the couch while watching TV. And, of course, they will enjoy some treats!

Information Carol S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know the following about your pets ahead of time: What triggers them? What scares them? What are their favorite types of toys? What are their favorites types of tricks? Do they like to meet new people? Do they like to meet new dogs?

A typical day

I'm a big believer in schedules and routine. So, we'll get up, and take our first potty walk, then we'll have breakfast and take our next potty-walk. Back inside for playtime and a nap. Then early evening, we'll take a longer, exercise walk when the weather turns cooler. Back home to rest and snuggle while watching some TV before eating dinner. Before bed, we'll take our final potty-walk.

Carol took such good care of my sweet boy that I don’t think he even actually missed me! 😂❤️

Carol watched our 12 year old shihtzu for 2 weeks when my husband and I went abroad. We were nervous because this is the longest we’ve ever left her with someone who wasn’t family, but Carol’s communication, care, and ability to treat our fur babe like her own quickly put us to ease. We will definitely be booking Carol for future trips and highly recommend her!

Carol was so kind and patient with Maisy for her first over night stay. Sent us photos and updates which we appreciated!

Carol was the perfect sitter for my dog June. She took great care of her and gave regular updates. I'd highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog sitter
