I Love Dogs & They Love Me

Pet care experience

I want each pet to get the kind of exercise and the one-on-one love and attention they need. As an animal lover and a dog & cat owner, I know how hard it is to find someone I trust to care for my pets so I decided to turn my love for animals into my business and help other pet owners. I have 8 years professional experience in pet care but I have had cats and dogs my whole life. I currently have a 19-year-old adopted cat and a 14-year-old shelter dog. I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. I have given subcutaneous fluids, I've fed a cat through a feeding tube, I cared for a dog that was paralyzed in the back legs, I’ve cared for several pets after surgery and I’ve been dealing with my dog’s hip dysplasia and arthritis for several years. You can rest assured I will treat your pet with the same love I give to my own. I have walked all breeds of dog, all sizes from a Great Dane to a Chihuahua and all ages from puppies to seniors. Whether it’s a cat or a dog every pet is different and has different needs, I tailor our time to their needs: older dogs may need a slow walk around the park while younger dogs need to run and play, some cats want pets and snuggles while others want to play and some just hide. My approach allows me to create a strong bond with my furry friends.

I always feel very comfortable leaving my senior dog with Carole & her dog Daisy. Not only is she communicative and trustworthy, but it is clear that Carole really loves animals and my dog seems to really bond with her while she is staying at her home. It gives me peace of mind to know that my dog is being cared for and loved on the same way she would be with me. Happy to have found such a great, reliable sitter!

Carole has boarded our two small dogs several times while we have been away on vacation. She always keeps them safe and well taken care of and they enjoy playing with her dog Daisy. Carole is an experienced sitter who is responsible, caring, and easy to communicate with. She responds quickly and sends pictures and updates of their day. Highly recommended!!!

Carole took great care of our dog while we were away. Plenty of activity and attention for the dog, plus lots of photos and updates for us. Our dog can be nervous sometimes, especially in crowded settings, so it is perfect that Carole boards only one dog at a time. Carole's dog, Daisy, provided terrific companionship without our dog feeling overwhelmed.

Information Carole P. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I would want to know what he enjoys doing, how does he react to strangers and to other dogs, what triggers cause him to react, i.e. chasing squirrels or cats.

A typical day

Each walk will vary depending on the dog and depending on the location. If there are parks in the area we can walk there, if we are close to hiking trails we can go there, or we may just explore the neighborhood.
