I'm a former veterinary technician

Pet care experience

I was a veterinary technician for 20 years. Animals have been my heart since I was 3 years old. I have had animals since the day I was born and continue to have them as part of my life. I believe animals should be treated with nothing but love and respect, as they do with us, unconditionally. When friends of mine go on vacation, they know they can count on me to take care of their pet and because of my veterinary background I can detect any type of issue an animal may be having and try and resolve it. I am very attentive to an animals needs and will provide nothing short of caring and loving them as if they were my own. I love all animals and my full attention will be on your pet while in my care! Ideally I would love to have permanent clients Monday-Friday to walk your dogwhile you're at work. Boarders are always welcomed, drop-in visits and a walk now and then are always a pleasure!

Carol was a great sitter for our puppy Mia! She sent us updates and pictures throughout Mia's stay and made sure Mia was getting play time and cuddle time! We will definitely use Carol again if we are in the area.

Carol took excellent care of our dog Walter, and he loves her! Carol definitely went above and beyond, and we were very impressed. You can tell immediately that Carol is a real animal lover, and that made us feel good leaving our pet in her care. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Information Carol S. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know of any health issues, though this will not deter me from watching your pet. I also like to know if they are aggressive with their toys/food, again, no big deal. It's just good to know so I can monitor this with my dog also.

A typical day

I live by a lake so a nice walk around the lake is always a favorite with my dog. Your dog will NEVER be let off of the leash, even in a fenced in area without YOUR permission. They will get LOTS of hugs and kisses from me and LOTS of playtime. My goal is to make sure your pets don't get sad because you are away.
