Loving Care for Your Best Friend(s)

I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Being a retired nurse, I’m very patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, especially when it comes to routines, medications, and noticing when something doesn’t seem quite right.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At this time, I’m not able to care for pets in my own home, so I focus on providing care in my clients’ homes. I believe pets are most comfortable in their own environment, and I do my best to follow their usual routine as closely as possible.

Caryl is awesome and I highly recommend her. I love her, the dogs love her, and she does a fantastic job. She handled multiple medicine routines with no problem and took excellent care of both the animals and my home. And she sent plenty of pictures to show me how well everyone was doing.

Caryl was so AMAZING! My dog is somewhat challenging, especially at first! Caryl was calm and willing to do what it takes to make sure my dog was comfortable. I loved the updates and pictures she sent as well. I had not one worry while I was away with her in charge! My dog absolutely loves Caryl and we have already scheduled her again! Just a pleasant, sweet, and calm person. She is just wonderful!

Carol was amazing! Sent lots of updates and communicated the entire process while she watched my old fur baby! She was very thorough, flexible and detail oriented and took amazing care of my dog. Would use again . My dog felt right at home with her and I could tell in the pictures he was well taken care of! She goes above and beyond! AMAZING

Schedule

Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m recently retired, so I have a flexible schedule. I assist in caring for two preteens and have pets of my own, so I’m already used to managing routines, walks, feeding times, and playtime.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Caryl can host up to 1 pet per night
Before caring for a pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their routine, personality, and needs. It’s important for me to know their feeding schedule, walking routine, favorite toys, and any medical needs or medications.
