Gentle, loving care for your dog.

Pet care experience

I would love to take care of your dog in my country home during the day and/or overnight while you are on vacation. I would prefer a small size dog. I will abide by your rules and will give extra loving care, lots of attention and playtime as well as frequent outdoor walks in our big yard. Our yard is not enclosed, so I will need to use a leash for walks. (Even though your dog may stay by you at your home, I would be afraid he/she would be distracted in a new environment and away from you.) We have a sidewalk and long, blacktop circular driveway for walks as well as big yard in front and back. You may call anytime while you are away to check on your dog, and I will send pictures of your dog and communication if you'd like. I usually care for dogs one at a time, but I am willing to watch more than one at a time only if they are used to being together and get along well. I recall always having childhood pets and, as an adult, have owned pets for many years. My most recent pet was a little Bichon Frise. I have no pets in my home presently, so your dog will get extra special attention and love.

Carole is the best. Coco and Pebbles LOVE going to her house and spending time with her. She sends great photos and updates too. I’m able to rest easy knowing my dogs are in caring, capable hands while I’m away.

We don’t leave Sage with a pet sitter very often but we felt extremely comfortable leaving her with Carole. We had some unexpected events and Carole was very flexible working with us. Carole sent a daily update and photos and both Carole and Sage seems to have a great time which helped us to feel comfortable.

I felt so comfortable leaving Tinkerbell with Carole. She was easygoing and caring and nurturing. She sent me pics and messages every day at my request and was very responsive to messages. I highly recommend her.

Information Carole G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors or fears and how you handle them. Do they get along with men or only prefer women? I prefer small breeds.

A typical day

We have a large yard, approximately 5 acres, which includes a long, circular blacktop driveway. I will keep your dog in my yard and/or driveway during his/her stay with me. If your dog enjoys playing with toys, I enjoy lots of play time in the house or outdoors. If your dog just enjoys quiet, cuddle time or practicing tricks and training, I will enjoy those special times each day as well. I have toys which I wash after each dog visit, but you are welcome to bring toys, blankets, etc. which will remind your dog of you and help him/her to feel comfortable.

I am home most of the time with occasional brief errands and will love being with your dog all day. We can play indoors and out, or just relax, and he/she can follow me around throughout the house if they like. They aren't allowed on my bed but may sit with me on the couch if you permit this. If not, I'll discourage it at my house.
