Carole is a trustworthy, experienced dog caregiver. She has cared for my dog quite responsibly, with the right balance of loving attention, exercise, rest and skill. I have also taken other "family" dogs to her home to play in the spacious, safe, and well contained backyard. Dogs take to Carole and her husband nicely, and appear to be very comfortable around them. Carole "reads" dogs well, and gets to know them quickly. It takes a "dog person" to recognize another "dog person", and Carole is everything that a dog owner would want for his/her pet. Carole is mindful of providing ample water and appropriate treats or food as the owner wishes. She is cognizant of sun and heat exposure, and other wellness issues. The house environment is clean, safe and free from hazards. She is consistant and reliable in giving care, and brings out the best in dogs.
