Highlights
Pet care experience
Consistent, flexible & trustworthy
Pet care is my full time job, and I look forward to working with you and your pet! I’ve taken care of many pets throughout my life. I raised my own amazing Boxer dog (see pictures with white boxer) during my teenage years and early adulthood and it’s something I miss everyday. I have experience with small dogs, medium sized dogs and large dogs, no one is too big or small! I'm very knowledgable with all ages of animals, from 8 week old puppies up to very senior dogs. I have experience with dogs who need extra care, including being visually impaired, highly anxious or energetic, and those who need medications. I'm comfortable distributing pills and liquid medication orally as well as administering eye drops. I’ve gone on countless numbers of walks, drop-ins, and completed overnight to multi-week long stays with multiple animals under the same roof. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks and 24/7 overnight care when house sitting. I always try to do an in-person meet and greet with you and your pet before a booking to ensure we are the best fit. However, I am flexible to move forward without one if your calendar does not permit it, and your pet is okay when I arrive without meeting first. I am extremely communicative and will always let you know when I am on my way and have wrapped up with your pet. I take lots of pictures and leave very detailed notes so that it almost feels like you're there! I do my best to include owners as much as possible throughout the entirety of our booking, so you are completely up to date and never have to worry. Taking care of your pet is my first priority and I want to make sure you and your pet are as comfortable as possible when in my care. I’m very timely, trustworthy and responsible with all pets to ensure they’re loved and well taken care of. If you're a first time Rover customer, use my code CARISC60300 at checkout for $20 off of your first booking. I can't wait to work with you and your pet!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am very consistent with my pet care, no matter the environment. I find consistency is key when building relationships with pets so they know what to expect from my care, and trust my care. I also stick to the schedule you and your pet typically have to ensure your pet feels regulated while you're away. I follow directions given to me from owners very closely and am very attentive to what a pet is signaling what they need in every moment. I'm also very respectful of an animal's boundaries to ensure their comfort with me, especially when we are alone. I lead with love and care and will definitely treat your pet as my own.
Ratings and reviews
Caris is communicative, professional, punctual, and just a pleasure to work with!
Caris was great watching out for Charlotte! She was communicative and was flexible as our travel plans changed.
Caris was super responsive and flexible. She took great care of my little girl, and I would absolutely book her again!
We had a great experience with Caris. She was very communicative in setting up our introductory visit and cat care so we felt assured the cats were looked after. We appreciated the thorough notes and photos. We would definitely hire her again.
My dog can be fearful but does well with Caris. You can rely on Caris to listen to what your dog needs and be patient and flexible in her approach so everyone is safe and happy.
Caris always does a terrific job taking care of our dog Zelda. We enjoy our travels even more, knowing that our dog and house are in such capable hands.

Schedule
I provide pet care full time and my schedule is very flexible, as taking care of your pet is my first priority. I keep my calendar consistently up to date so I can provide you with the most accurate booking experience. I am available for one-time bookings and weekly ongoing care. I also have a vehicle so it easy for me to get around the city and to your pet within the timeframe you provide.

- Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or routines in your every day care. It’s helpful for me to know their temperament and friendliness level with other pets and people. It's also very helpful for me to know their behaviors on my first independent visit with them, will they be nervous, aggressive, friendly, etc., when I arrive to their home. I always appreciate when owners overshare about their animals so I can understand them to the best of my ability prior to our first independent visit. I want to make sure your pet has the best (and safest) time with me!
