Carole’s Creature Comforts

I’m so glad I found Carole! I was going away for a full week and needed someone to feed and check in on my senior kitty, who is too old, fragile, and ornery for boarding. Carole was not only conveniently located in Berkeley (my neighborhood), but she was also very sweet, caring, and communicative throughout my absence. I could genuinely tell that she loves animals and cared for my pet deeply. She also went out of her way to scoop the litter and recycle the cat food cans even without being asked! She is a FANTASTIC pet sitter and an all-​around good person.

Carole Kalous is amazing! Carole has been regularly pet-​sitting for my two pets for the past year and a half — both daily visits as well as overnight stays when we are out of town. She has become part of our family and my pets ADORE her. She is a sweet and lovely person who has a special way with animals. She always keeps things neat and tidy and keeps us posted via daily e-​mail when we are out of town. We are moving at the end of this year and I wish we could take Carole with us to pet-​sit on the East coast!

I feel so lucky to have found Carole as a petsitter! She is absolutely amazing and I have tried many different petsitters over the last few years. I travel frequently for work and Carole is always available, even at the last minute. She charges a rate comparable to other East Bay petsitters but her services are worth so much more for your money… she stays at least an hour every time and adapts to my crazy cat’s mood swings! Whether my cat wants to play or be brushed or just petted, Carole knows how to make my cat happy. Actually my cat always seems calmer when I return from a trip compared to when I get home from an average workday! Carole even tidies up my apartment and it always looks spectacular when I return from traveling. She is the best!

Carole’s Creature Comforts is just the business/​web name for the petsitting of Carole Kalous. She does petsitting and housesitting in the East Bay and is FABULOUS. We found her through our vet’s office, and have been so impressed. She’s affordable, and does a great job– the only petsitter we’ve ever had who happily spends an hour with our cat every time she comes over! Also, she somehow always leaves the place better than she found it– she even cleans out the empty cans of cat food so they don’t stink up the recycling bin!
