About: Hi! I’m Caroline. I’ve grown up with animals since I was 5, and they’ve always been my passion. I have experience pet-sitting both dogs and cats and also have experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for up to 40 dogs at once. I live with my 2 year old Miniature Dachshund Bean and my cat Ellie. I am would love to care for your pets, as being around animals truly brings me happiness! :) I work my full time job M-F from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, but I have flexibility in my schedule and am happy to pick up any shifts I can. I’m also available for weekend bookings, and I will always do my very best to be there whenever you need extra care for your pets! At this time since I live in an apartment I am unable to take additional pets into my home, but am still more than happy to come to you!


15. Ashley S.
“Ashley was a pet sitter for our rambunctious two boxers. One 6 years old and the other 2 years old. She was attentive and caring. She followed my instructions with them allowing them to have plenty of exercise with multiple walks a day and also took them to a dog park so they could run and use up that energy. They have very strict feeding schedules of eating small meals 3 times per day and she was able to accommodate that. We have used Ashley in multiple occasions and have always been pleased with her. My dogs adore her and get excited when the see her like an old friend. Can’t say enough great things !!”

19. Kristina E.


“Kristina was absolutely fantastic, highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future. Our dog can be a little picky about who she likes but Kristina had her trust from day 1. Visits were right on time and she sent photos/videos everytime she stopped by, couldn't have been better for our dog while we were away!”
