Attentive Care You Can Count On

Hi! I'm a full-time medical resident currently on a research year, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I joined Rover because I genuinely love animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a sitter, I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and proactive. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, and I'm always attentive to your pet's unique routine, needs, and personality. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, you can count on me to provide safe, loving, and dependable care. If you're interested in boarding your dog in my home, it's important that they are comfortable around other dogs. I have an extremely friendly puppy named Bean who loves making new canine friends! Bean is playful, social, and enjoys having a buddy around, so your dog should be dog-friendly to ensure everyone has a fun and stress-free stay.

Caline came in clutch with a last minute booking and took such great care of Goose! Will definitely go back to her in the future.

Not even doing the bare minimum. Didn’t come at the time I requested the first day. Luckily my flight got delayed after she didn’t show up for the time, so I messaged her to modify the booking and she didn’t even acknowledge the fact she missed the time slot. Afterwards I explicitly asked her to come in the two hour time range she agreed to prior to the booking and then a few days later I wake up to a message the morning of the fourth saying she won’t be there till 3-4 hours after the end of the time range to check on my cat. The only two things I asked her to do daily was litter scooping and brushing. The scoop was sitting in the incorrect spot on the shelf when I came home and brush was sitting full of hair. To me it reads as someone looking to check off a to do, not someone who loves this as a side gig and will cherish your pets as their own.

Caline was great with Charlie! She updated us on how he was doing during his stay and was very responsive. Bean and Charlie had the best time playing together, and we hope to book again with Caline in the future!

Schedule

I work full time in the Illinois medical district. I have an irregular schedule and update my availability frequently to reflect that. I often stop by for drop in visits before or after work My dog is currently living out of state with my parents due to long weekday work hours that would prevent me from dedicating the daily exercise and love she deserves. That being said, I really miss having a pet around and am looking to meet other furry friends.
