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.

Information Carol S. would like to know about your pet

Does you dog have any behavioral issues or have problems being around other dogs? Are they house broken? Are there any specific health needs that I need to be aware of?

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.

Pet care experience

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!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
