Pet care experience
A Cut Above Animal Care
I have cared for animals on my ranch in Acton, CA for over 30 years. I get along well with them because of the mutual trust and respect developed between us. I am adept at maintaining safe, clean living environments and noticing any problems which may crop up. I have worked with a variety of dog breeds of different ages and also have a great method for obedience training. I can provide information on this as agreed to between the owner and myself. I have one dog of my own at the moment. She is a rescue, and I know her particular needs. The same would be true of your dog/s. Each enclosure on my ranch is basically a huge corral with shelter attached. Dogs can exercise themselves and seek shelter whenever they want. I am also able to keep them indoors provided they are housebroken and reasonably well behaved. I can give medications and provide personalized care as needed. Services provided include the following? -Lots of private space for each dog -Dedicated care plans for senior dogs or those needing medications -Large tree-abundant yards. No cages -Leash walk and play time -In-door stays available when dictated by the weather -Social activities with other dogs given they are compatible with each other -Regular photo updates and videos I'd love to meet you and your dog. Let's schedule a meet and greet to become acquainted. Carole

Ratings and reviews
Carole provides a great space for your dog-o. Spacious runs and cool shaded areas. The dogs can bark at each other. Lots of space for sniffing and stretching their legs. Thank you, Carole. Your place is awesome, and so are you!
Carole was so kind and took such wonderful care of Casper during my time away. Casper was allowed his own space to simply indulge in his raptor phases while also ensuring his Great Dane needs were met. We truly appreciate you Carole. Thank you so much.
She was absolutely wonderful. Very sweet, and tentative to our animals. We feel that she went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend her services. And we will definitely use her in the future.
Carol was great! She has a large property for the dogs to run and explore. My dog was small but he loved the openness of the property. Her communication was excellent. She is a gem.
Ms Carole was very accommodating with our requests for medication during our dog's recent stay. Would definitely recommend her and request her again.
Carole was a blessing to find. She watched our dog for an entire week with no issues and every few days she communicated with us by sending us a pic of our furry baby. She has a beautiful outdoor area for dog sitting and has lots of knowledge with dogs. We ended up not having enough food for our dog and she went out and bought a bag for him and we reimbursed her via Zell. She also gave us really good tips on how to train our puppy. My family recommends her and we'll definitely use her again.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My premises are double-fenced for the security of client dogs. Dogs have plenty of water, and I feed them according to owner specifications. Wading pools are provided in the summer, and there are adequate shelters for dogs to stay in out of the weather when they choose. Any extra exercise desired by the owner outside of the exercise dogs give themselves in the large enclosed areas are arranged for between the client and myself. I will be happy to give high energy dogs extra exercise by playing fetch with them a few times during the day. I will also spend time reassuring over-anxious dogs by just being with them.
Pets
A typical day
Dogs experience ranch life and the stimulation that affords them. This includes watching other dogs and horses as they play and walk around the yard. Well-trained dogs have the luxury of roaming around the yard off leash with my dogs or on their own.
