Pet care experience

Best time of the day is Doggy time!

The best thing about being retired is being able to spend more time with my dog. We play with fun toys and go for nice walks, usually about a mile (and the exercise is good for me too!) I've had dogs all my life, including a Boston Terrier, Miniature Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, Siberian Husky and retired Greyhound, but the love of my life now is a Corgi. And now that I have some extra time, I look forward to doing the same for your precious pup when you can't be there yourself. I am friendly, reliable and have a spotless record. I will always keep your pet leashed when outside your home and will provide you a detailed report of the time I spend with your fur baby. I will also be sure to keep your home locked the way I found it when I am finished. And if you happen to have delivery packages waiting for you, I'm happy to bring them in.

Safety, trust & environment

My cancelation policy is very flexible - a full refund will be given for any cancelled services prior to scheduled day of service. Cancellations on date of service will be credited toward a future booking. If you need a drop-in in the Germantown area, give me a try. Hope to meet you soon and make more canine friends. Thanks for your consideration.

Dependable, reliable, and always takes great care of Molly. Molly looks forward to each time Carole shows up to check on her.

Carole has been fantastic with our little one! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their little fur babies.

I am so glad that I found Carole to visit my dog while I'm at work. On the days that she comes, I can always trust that he will get some extra love and attention. The updates and pictures that she sends are awesome to get in the middle of the day, and her flexibility when I've had to make changes to the schedule is very greatly appreciated. Both my dog and I are so happy to have Carole watching out for him!

Schedule

Being retired gives me the flexibility to be available to help with your pet on an occasional as-needed basis, or on a regular recurring basis. PLEASE NOTE: My availability is daily beginning at 10:30 a.m. Bookings for times before 10:30 a.m. may be arranged for an additional fee. At this time I am not able to take on any new clients for multi-visit/multi-day bookings. That means that I CAN see your pet multiple times on one day, or once a day for multiple days, but NOT for multiple visits on multiple consecutive days. If you have questions about this policy, please feel free to reach out. I am always willing to schedule a meet-and-greet to discuss.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Carole can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I require a meet and greet before starting with any dog. This helps to clarify expectations and ensure that you, your dog and I are all comfortable with each other.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
