Highlights
Pet care experience
Lots of TLC, walks and extras
My love for animals started back when I was 5 years old as I grew up on a farm in Connecticut. Cats, dogs and horses stole my heart. Through the years, I have had many different breeds of dogs: German Shepard, Irish Setter, Doberman, Standard Poodle and more. I'm also a lucky grandparent of the most beautiful Samoyed which I get the privilege of dog sitting often. As a life long dog lover, I understand that each dog has their own personality and routine. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, long or short walks, or lots of pets, I will be attentive to their needs. I'll treat your dog(s) with the same kindness, patience, and love that I would give my own. I will be happy to feed, clean bowls, walk your dog (s) however long or short and any additional needs you have while you are away.

Safety, trust & environment
I am a dependable, responsible caregiver who pays close attention to the needs of both pets and their owners. I will always respect and care for the owner's home as if it were my own. I will make sure your pets have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, walks, playtime, affection, and any extra tasks needed. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful leaving your furry family members behind can be. I will treat your pet with the same love and attention I give my own, and I always provide daily messages and photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Carole is the best sitter we have ever had! Her dedication to keeping our pets happy and healthy is unmatched. We will absolutely be using her again!
Carole has a true gift with animals. I’ve never met a pet that didn’t immediately warm up to her. She is incredibly patient, gentle, and loving, and she genuinely treats every animal as if it were her own. She has cared for my dog and two cats several times, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing they’re with her. In fact, I think they’re a little disappointed when I come home! She goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and it’s clear how much she loves what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carole to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.
I have known Carole for many years. She’s such a thoughtful, kind, and sympathetic person who shows her loving heart to both people and animals. She has owned both cats and dogs throughout her life and would be a great Rover for anyone looking for a person who would care for their pets as if they were her own.

Schedule
I recently retired from the corporate world and now work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have time and would greatly enjoy providing loving, attentive and dependable care for your pet(s). Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with furry companions, and happy to care for your pet(s) and adapt to their unique personality and routine.
