Reviews
I felt my dog was in great care with Carol. Her house was tidy and clean, and her personality was warm and inviting. She kept me up to date daily. I could tell her dog was welcomed into the family, and I would take my pup her again!
Great first experience using this service! Carol welcomed our kitten into her family like she was there own. Carol kept us updated with photos to reassure us she was doing well. Drop off and pick up were as smooth as anyone could hope for. Most definitely recommend her!
Carol took amazing care of my dog, Basil, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in loving hands. When Basil was hesitant to eat, Carol went the extra mile by adding a bit of gravy to her food — such a thoughtful touch that made a big difference. Carol’s children were also incredibly sweet and gentle with Basil. Myles even told her stories, and it was clear that Basil felt right at home. She quickly bonded with their dog and settled in beautifully. Basil was allowed on the furniture and treated like a true member of the family, which made me feel so at ease. It’s not easy to leave your fur baby behind, but knowing she was so loved and well cared for made all the difference. I highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for a warm, responsible, and attentive dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Kept us updated about our kitten, and made sure she was comfortable with space, toys and food. Very nice and was fast to respond and to accept our request even at a late notice.

Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's home, involves a comprehensive approach tailored to each animal's specific needs. Here’s how I typically manage pet care: 1. **Daily Routine**: Establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial. This includes scheduled feeding times, regular potty breaks, and exercise sessions. For dogs, I ensure they get walks or playtime, while for cats, I provide opportunities for interactive play and exploration. 2. **Feeding**: I follow specific dietary guidelines based on the pet’s age, size, and health requirements. This involves measuring out portions, offering fresh water, and accommodating any dietary restrictions or preferences. 3. **Health and Hygiene**: Regular grooming is essential, especially for dogs with longer coats. I brush them to prevent matting and reduce shedding. 4. **Exercise and Enrichment**: Physical and mental stimulation is vital for pets. For dogs, I incorporate walks, fetch, and playdates, while for cats, I provide toys, scratching posts, and climbing structures. 5. **Safe Environment**: I ensure that the living space is safe and comfortable. This includes removing any hazardous items, providing cozy resting areas, and ensuring that pets have access to safe spaces where they can retreat when they need. 6. **Communication with Clients**: If caring for a client's pet, I maintain open communication, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns they may have. This includes sharing daily logs of activities, behavior changes, and any observations regarding their pet's health. By combining these elements, I create a nurturing and safe environment that promotes the well-being of pets in my care, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-loved.

Availability
Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending into my lifestyle. Here’s how it typically fits in: 1. **Morning Care**: I start my day early to attend to the pets. This includes feeding them breakfast, refreshing their water, and taking dogs for a morning walk or play session. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and engage them with some interactive play. 2. **Regular Check-ins**: Throughout the day, I take breaks to check on the pets, ensuring they are comfortable and have access to their essentials. This includes monitoring their behavior, providing companionship, and offering short play sessions. 3. **Afternoon Activities**: In the afternoon, I dedicate time for more structured play or training sessions, especially for dogs. 4. **Evening Routine**: As the day winds down, I prepare dinner for the pets, ensuring they receive the appropriate portions. After dinner, I spend quality time with them, offering affection and playtime before settling down for the night. By integrating pet care into my daily and weekly schedule, I ensure that each pet receives the attention, love, and care they need, while also maintaining a balanced and fulfilling routine for myself.
