My babies are my world!
Pet care experience
I have always had a big heart for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with hamsters, a cat, and dogs. My experience with senior animals is quite extensive as my cat and first dog, fortunately, lived through old age. Thus, I have experience administering pills to both cats and dog, administering medication(s), cleaning up all sorts of messes when it comes to illness and old age, as well as providing that extra TLC when they're not feeling well. Trust me when I say, your pet is just as important to me as if it were my own! There's a meme that shows a person walking by a human vs dog and how the person ignores the human and gives nothing but love and attention to the dog... that's me! Not to say I'm not a people person because I am that too, but when it comes to animals, there's just something so special about them. To finish this off, I also have experience dog-sitting my old neighbor's dogs. They had three labradors and I'd spend the night over snuggling in bed with them! I have also sitted for a friends cat, so please don't exclude my cat experience. Also, I have personal experience with puppies if anyone is in need of puppy care-taking, then I am here to help! We have recently added to our family our own human baby! So pets who are kid friendly are most welcome! I hope you give me the chance to love your pet(s) as much as I love mine :)
Reviews
Carolina was awesome and took great care of Ollie!! She sends pictures and updates if you want them. She’s just all over great ?
Carolina is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter. We have used her service on several occasions. During that time, she stayed in communication (even long distance) with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dog and house behind. Above all, Carolina is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and my dog loves her and my dog doesn't trust or loves just anyone. I don’t know what we would do without her! We would be happy to provide personal references upon request. - Paz, Hollywood, Florida
Carolina has taken care of my English bulldog Dennis several times and have felt comfortable leaving my best friend with her for several reasons: she is dependable, a natural-dog loving person, and makes my dog trust her. Carolina is knowledgeable in giving medication and knows how to comfort my dog when he’s anxious. She provides a loving, comfortable environment for my dog and has let my dog be his usual goofy self. In other words, Dennis has his second home!
Carolina has been a pet lover her whole life. She loves and cares for animals as if they were her own children. She is super responsible and has had experiences with pets who have needed to take certain medications everyday and at certain times. You will not make a mistake in choosing her to take care of your precious pets!

I live in a nice sized home with hard floors and a fenced in yard. There's grass, a deck, and large trees providing shade which my dogs already love. Speaking of my dogs: I have two English Cream Golden Retrievers; Charlie is the oldest and he's a currently 8, where Daisy is my youngest and she’ll be turning 5 come May! They have such a great bond together and are always friendly. They have even taken in their newest human sibling with so much care and love! Every time they see a dog they think it's playtime and they've made a new friend! As for strangers, I don't think Charlie knows what a stranger is because he says hi to everyone he meets! Daisy is the more cautious one, but as soon as she sees her brother being loved by others, she'll get jealous and join right in! Unfortunately, they haven't had much experience around cats so I wouldn't be comfortable with boarding cats. However, I would love to house-sit or do check-ins for cats! Let me not forget to mention my husband! He, too, is an animal lover and loves meeting new fur-friends! So if you choose to board, there's another set of human hands to give those extra scratchies!

Information Carolina H. would like to know about your pet
Medical conditions, behavioral concerns, specific scheduling, interactions with other animals and people (including children), type of training/commands, are they ok/good with being around a baby (crawling/crying/babbling)
A typical day
I will try to maintain as normal a schedule as your pet has with you. With our nice sized, fenced in yard, they would have enough room to get a nice exercise.

With our new baby, I’m currently a stay at home mom. This allows me to have more time and attention to give to all my babies in the home, yours included! I like to think of myself as flexible in terms of scheduling needs. Just please feel free to message me with any concerns or questions you may have, and I'll be happy to see if we can work something out!
