Reliable sitter with pre-vet degree
Pet care experience
You can trust me to take excellent care of your pet! As well as owning my own pets most of my life (dogs, cats, ferret, birds, rabbits, etc.), I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-veterinary medicine. I have pet-sat for several friends and clients, volunteered at shelters, worked at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and for a professional dog walking company. You can rest easy as your pet will be safe in my care. I follow directions well and get the details right! Why I love dog sitting: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born. My first dog, Chief, helped raise me! Since then, I have owned a dog most of my life. Some have called me the "dog-whisperer". I have a pretty good perception of dogs and connect very easily with most. My experience administering medication: I am comfortable administering meds. I've given lots of oral meds and various ointments, eye drops, ear drops, etc.
Reviews
I can’t tell you how Carol helped us while my husband had surgery out of town. It was such a burden lifted not to worry about the pup. She kept me updated with pictures, and left the house perfect.
We are always extremely pleased with the care and love Carol provides our pups.
Carol is WONDEFUL! She made us feel so comfortable!
Carol has pet sit for us twice now and we feel very lucky to have found her! We have two cats and a dog. Although our cats are pretty easy, our dog is not. Carol has been happy and willing to walk our energetic and reactive dog... something most shy away from. She is also very responsive and communicative! We plan to rebook again in the future.

Skills
Information Carol Y. would like to know about your pet
I don't have breed preferences- I like all dogs! It would be helpful to know a little bit about their personality, what motivates them, any tricks they like to do as well as any habits you are trying to reinforce or break. Also, what is their normal daily routine like? How much food and when? Any meds? Fears or Aggression-triggers? Comforts? How far do they walk?
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog: Depends on their needs/your preferences... $20 covers a half-hour walk and the time it takes me to get to your place. (If you are willing to pay a little more per visit, I can spend more time.) $60-70 covers overnight stays for one dog and includes dog walks. I'm fairly flexible on start and end times for beginning and last day. I like to get a sense from you of what their normal routine looks like, any special places they enjoy visiting, favorite toys, etc. Extra house-sitting services: I would happily water your plants and bring in the mail. I always try my best to leave your place as clean or better than I found it. (If you leave out clean sheets, I can switch them out before you come home :))
