Work from home is the best- it means lots of QT with your dog, As I have my own resident dog Theo, caring for a dog is part of my daily routine. With working flexibility, I can arrange as many walks or as much playtime as your dog needs.

Safety, trust & environment

A dog being away from their parents is very scary. I strive to make them feel comfortable. Safety is my number 1 priority when caring for dogs. When I can’t have my eyes on your dog, your dog will be safely crated (with treats and a comfy bed.) If not crate trained, your dog would be sectioned off to keep them safe. Love and safety ❤️

I am so excited to meet your pup! Please message me details about your dog including the following; 1) is your dog crate trained? 2) does your dog like other dogs? 3) how is your dogs reactivity outside? 4) is your dog a toy or food guarder? 5) can your dog stay alone for short periods of time?

A typical day

I love to go on adventures with my pup! I go on long walks and would love to bring your pup. In addition, I believe that mental stimulation is incredibly important for all dogs! I do mental stimulation through snuffle mats, snoops, kongs, and more.

Leaving your dog with someone is ultimately an act of trust. Caren made that trust easy. She is warm, attentive, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Freud with her and beautiful Theo again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Caren to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog as if they were her own. Thank you, Caren. Freud has already asked when he’s coming back, he woofs you 🐾

Caren is absolutely fabulous and very accommodating. Caren scheduled a meet a greet with us before she took Goose out for a walk and he instantly felt comfortable with her and then was so excited to see her again. 100% recommend and we will be booking again soon.

Caren I great. She sent pics and videos and flagged some problematic puppy behavior that Milo’s former sitter failed to mention. Caren was also patient with Milo who was in a new environment for the first time.
