IG: @boardercallme

I grew up around dogs and people with dogs. Whenever there is a dog near me I can't help but stop and show it a little bit of love. My friends often refer to me as the dog whisperer and know if there is a dog in the room they cease to exist. I understand more than most how a dog is not just a pet but a member of the family who loves us unconditionally. I am the go to dog sitter of my friend group and I also volunteer at Austin Pets Alive (APA) on a regular basis. I take their dogs for walks and help out in their marketing department as well. I can't wait to meet your ball of love and make sure they have a great time.

Carol was absolutely incredible! She was so kind, so sweet, so communicative—everything was so easy with her. Our dogs absolutely loved her and she went above and beyond with them, as well as taking care of our home while she stayed here. We will absolutely be using her again!

Carol is the absolute best! She took such great care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation. I’m thankful to have found her and will definitely be booking again with Carol next time we travel. Highly recommend!

Took excellent care of Libby. Knew Libby was in good hands. She sent us a picture daily. She even offered to watch our dog another night after our plane was delayed. Highly recommend!

Carol was awesome! Very communicative and made sure I felt comfortable leaving my dog child with her for the weekend.

Oh my gosh, Carol was the absolute best!! She gave my pup all the snuggles and sent me ample updates. I came back to one very happy boy and had total peace of mind on my trip. 10/10 would recommend!!

Schedule

I work from home and only leave my home a few times of day for things like walking Ladybird, to grab food, go to an appointment, etc. This means dogs aren't alone too often and get all of the love.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow the same rules that the dogs have at home to make sure they don't pick up any bad behaviors while at my house. Same goes for food. They only are given what you provide for them. All of the rugs and furniture are dog friendly including the screen door leading out to the gated yard.

A typical day

Dogs that can walk longer dostances (3 - 4 miles) join me for walks around Ladybird. Shorter walks around the property and surrounding neighborhoods are favorites for dogs who can't go as far. Playtime with toys provided from home is also always fun.
