Pet care experience

Plenty of experience

Hi there! I'm Carole, also known as The Pet Lady. I've had my pet sitting business since 2009. It brings me so much joy! My business has evolved over the years from dog walking and boarding and now into drop in visits (and walks of course) and house sitting. I'm very flexible and will work with you to provide the service you expect and deserve. Last minute requests are almost always accepted. I am a mature woman who puts great pride into her work. Taking care of your home and your pets is serious business! I realize you have other options and appreciate your choice. I offer both long term 'sitting' or 1 time drop ins. I'm experienced with pets who are shy and may take a bit to warm up to strangers. My volunteer work with rescue organizations for the past 14 years has taught me well. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your pets!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am not currently accepting pets in my home. Our resident cats are not fans of visiting pets and become very stressed when other dogs or cats are in the house.

My experience with Carole was incredible. I have never left my two pets in the care of anyone expect family, and in a last minute pinch Carole came thru for me! She was the top rated sitter when I downloaded the app, and replied immediately, came the following day to meet me and my pets and I booked her on the spot. Her communication is impeccable, attention to detail is incredible she wrote down all of my wishes for how I’d like my dog & cat to be taken care of and sent me photos throughout my time away of her with them along with updates! I can fully now have peace of mind and confidence to go away knowing I have Carole. My pets also loved her immediately! Thank you so much again Carole I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Carol was very accommodating and was able to come and look after our dog for the weekend with just a week’s notice. This is the second time Carol has stayed with our dog, and just like last time, she was easy to communicate with and left our home spotless. Thanks Carol!

This is the second time we’ve had Carole take care of our pups, and we’ll definitely continue to hire her again! She is great with our boys, and they are very comfortable with her. She arrives promptly at the designated time, provides great care and leaves the house tidy. She is a gem and we are glad to have connected with her through Rover!

I love all types of dogs, large or small. I also adore cats and have 2 of my own. I would love to have a meet & greet in advance so that I can learn your pet's likes and dislikes and see his their personality before caring for them. Are they aggressive? Timid? Just need a minute or two to allow me near them? Any info you can provide would be helpful to me in offering care to your pet.
