Reviews
Reliable and thoughtful pet care.
Carol helped me with the adoption procedure for several days. She provided me with exceptionally professional service. Very respectful and very knowledgeable about how to care for animals. It is a great pleasure for me, and this experience made me want all animals to be adopted and treated with love and respect as Carol does.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
At my client's home, I take care of their pets. Having patience, giving them extra attention, and helping fearful or scared dogs become calm. When walking dogs, I prepare myself for dog walking with stretches and the right equipment. I always keep the dog under control and carry plastic bags to clean up after it. I always watch over dogs, especially when they're around young children and/or other animals.
