Carol R.Star Sitter
“Carol and has been a friend and employee for over two years and she has been not only an exemplary pet owner of her own dog, but cares for my dog and cat as well, both at the workplace and in my/her home. She greets every dog that comes into work or on the street with a smile, back scratches and treats (when allowed). My own pets run to her first thing in the morning and then proceed to follow her around all day. Sadly, Carol lost her own wonderful dog this year due to a terminal illness and she has so much love left to give other people's pets. I've never hesitated to use her services when I have to go out of town and my pets are happy and healthy when I return.”

She gives them her undivided attention, is down on the floor playing with them, takes them for long walks and shows them bundles of love. I call her the “dog whisperer.” She is amazing!! I would trust her implicitly and quite frankly, she missed her calling…she should have gone to vet school.”

Whether taking my dogs to the beach or dog park for exercise, or hanging out with my kitties while the dogs play in the yard, I know they are being loved and well cared for! Brice is also an excellent dog trainer. My dogs have better recall since he has been looking after them, and he has even worked with me to ensure I am giving proper commands to ensure obedience and safety. My animals get so excited when he comes to the house- which tells me everything I need to know! I highly recommend him as a pet sitter :)”
