Experienced and Expert Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello, fellow dog lovers! My name is Carole and I a former music industry exec who has chosen to get out of the corporate world and take my passion to another area - animals. I am an experienced and skilled dog sitter dedicated to providing the highest quality care for your furry family members. With years of experience in canine behavior, training, and health care, I pride myself on my ability to understand and cater to the unique needs of each dog, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and stimulated in your absence. Whether it's engaging in playful activities, providing structured walks, or simply offering companionship, I tailor my approach to meet the individual temperament and preferences of your dog. My knowledge extends from nutrition and exercise to behavior modification techniques, making me well-equipped to handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, health and dispositions. I believe in creating a positive and stress-free environment for your pets, where their physical and emotional well-being is paramount. My goal is not just to watch over your dogs but to enhance their happiness and health, ensuring they receive the best possible care while you're away.

She was so kind, flexible, responsive, and sweet to my dog. I trust Carole and would love to have her watch Kuma again :) Highly recommend her!

Carole loves dogs, and dogs love her back! She gets right in there with the dogs who are outgoing, and knows how to give time and space to the ones who are more reserved. Carole has been informally dog-sitting for many years, and is known for being a caring and responsible caregiver. My dog adores her, which is the best recommendation there is.

Hiring Carole is definitely worth the peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Carole is professional and reliable and her love of animals is evident. She understands their individual personalities and needs, from shy to energetic. Your fur babes will have the best of care, lots of attention and love and will be happy and safe. I highly recommend Carole MacDonald for your pet sitting/walking needs.

Carole is wonderful with dogs - loving and empathetic. She understands the nuances of how a shyer dog might feel when its parents are away and she is ready for fun when everyone is comfortable! I could not recommend a more trustworthy person to have care for your pup(s). They will be walked and cuddled and loved until your return.
