About: I’m 23 years old and I have 2 dogs. One is 7 and the other is 1 year old. I got them both when they were puppies so I’ve had dog experience for 7 years now. I like to take them for walks daily if weather is permitting as well as play fetch. I am a CNA but I do home care so my schedule is flexible, I can work mornings or nights. I love doing Outdoor activities. I have a nice fenced in back yard for them to run around and get their energy out. So far I’ve taught my dogs how to sit, shake, dance, and high five with both paws. I want to continue to teach them more tricks. I’m sure my dogs are looking forward to having more buddies to play with!
“Molly is loving her time at Caroline’s and the peace of mind we have knowing she is safe means EVERYTHING to us. Thank you Caroline for caring for our baby so well!”
“Dan and Kelly were great with our dognwhole we were away for a long weekend! Our dog came home happy and well cared for. We were also super appreciative of their efforts in helping him with the stairs in their apartment! Thanks for everything!”
“We had our pet sitter cancel last minute. My husband discovered Rover.com and found Christina. We were so excited that she was in our neighborhood and had great reviews. I felt comfortable when I met her and the drop off process was easy. She stayed in communication the 3 days, sent pictures and updates. We will definitely be using her services in the future and will recommend her to everyone we know.”
“It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter who wasn’t a family member and Sabrina did such a great job 🥹 she sent videos and pictures assuring us that our dog was having a great time. Thank you Sabrina!!!!”
“Rachel was fantastic with my 2 dogs. One of them has experienced separation anxiety before and Rachel was very patient and prepared for how to make him feel comfortable and cared for. She provided lots of updates during their stay and was very easy to communicate with. I will be reaching out to her whenever I need a safe, loving home for my pets to stay.”
“We have been using Paige for a few years now. She is incredibly flexible and willing to work with me for convenient drop off/pick up times. She is able to plan ahead months in advance to be able to care for our dogs when our baby decided to arrive. She has also taken in the dogs the day of when I have completely forgotten to set up care for them. Our dogs come home happy, well taken care of, and they always seem excited to see her when being dropped off! I haven’t bothered to get a backup boarder because there is no way I’d have as excellent of an experience - without a doubt.”
“We were beyond pleased with our experience with Megan from beginning to end! ! She was very responsive upon requesting to book a stay- even offering a meet and greet! She, as well as her home, is very welcoming! Kept us well informed with updates, photos and videos while we were away- always ensuring us that Macie was in good hands and being well cared for! We especially loved and appreciated Macie’s report card! :) We highly recommend Megan and will definitely be using her again for future bookings! Thank you Megan! We appreciate you so much!!”

“Reyna and her family were great with our two dogs. They accommodated us last minute and made sure to give us updates and photos daily. Our dogs were so happy staying there and they were very well taken care of. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a caring, loving, and safe environment for their pets while out of town.”
“Neeko loved staying with this wonderful family and they really seemed to enjoy having him. Actually, even though he was happy to see me, he didn’t seem to want to leave. That’s the best compliment of all, if you ask me. Will definitely ask them to take care of my pup again when the need arises.”
