I’m currently working from home and will have plenty of time to take potty breaks and some walks during the day. I am lucky to live in a beautiful neighborhood with quick access to a large grassy area, the park (with a dog park), and even the beach!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small patio that they can sunbathe in or even set them up comfortably in their crate and dog bed in their own or mine if that’s what they prefer! I also have my 3 year old daughter who spends half the week with me depending on the day but she is in school during the day or with her dad during the evenings (she also loves dogs).

Information Caren K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any quirks or special things to pay attention to. I once had a three legged English bulldog who had very specific needs, including hygienic focus things so I am comfortable with handling specific instructions as well!

A typical day

I love to take breaks during the week, and hope this will motivate me to explore more of my neighborhood with a fellow fur friend. If your dog is more of a homebody, I also am not against cuddling on the couch or chilling at home too.

Pet care experience

I’ve had over three dogs ranging from a Shetland sheepdog, pitbull/hound mix to an English bulldog. I have experience with cleaning ears, brushing teeth, medicinal care or just follow any particular things specific to your pet. I live near a great grassy area across from my complex, Poinsettia Park and South Carlsbad State Beach for plenty of outdoor adventures. I also wfh so am flexible with plenty of potty/walking breaks!

Caren was quick to respond & took great care of my puppy. She also included a picture of my happy dog

Carin was great! My dog really liked her and I could tell that she had a great little walk with Carin and great pictures were sent of the walk as well.

Caren has been our trusted pet sitter for Hiccup since he was just 2 years old and three years later, she's still our first call. She's genuinely kind, attentive to every little detail, and always mindful of both Hiccup's needs and our specific requests. We couldn't ask for a more loving and responsible caregiver, and Hiccup is always excited to see her.
