Information Carolina H. would like to know about your pet

Would love to know medications, allergies, your pets triggers and their personality. Is your pet high energy? Do they get along with other people and other pets? Are they on a specific schedule? Are they learning new tricks that I can help reinforce?

A typical day

I like to take pets alongside me which will include exploring new neighborhoods and shops. Your pet will go on walks and see plenty of outdoor parks when they’re in my care. They will accompany me on errands as much as possible.

Pet care experience

My experience with caretaking has been mainly with dogs. I’ve pet sat for family and friends, I have experience with large and small dogs. I am gentle with all pets and will cater to their needs! If your pet is allowed to explore the city, I am your person. I am constantly exploring new parks, neighborhoods and pet friendly spaces. I love animals and would treat your pet as my own, can’t wait to meet your furry baby! ‼️ BOARDING ONLY ‼️ - Pets must be house trained - Pets cannot have severe separation anxiety - Must be able to stay alone for up to 3-4 hours (I have cameras to check in on them when away) - Cannot be aggressive towards other dogs (Launching/Growling)

Carolina was amazing in taking care of Abgail. She sent lots of updates throughout her stay and was quick to respond back. 100% recommend!

Caroline did a great job of taking care of Emmy for the weekend when I was away! Emmy was very happy and looked very comfortable when I returned.

From the very start, they were warm, communicative, and genuinely attentive to our dog's needs.  Carolina was so kind and attentive with our dog — we felt completely at ease leaving our pup in their care. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!

Carolina watched our dog for 4 days and 3 nights. Drop off and pickup went really well and she was very helpful in showing us places where we could park off her busy street. We had in our dog's profile that he should not be left alone, and both of us separately told her that we didn't recommend doing so as we had never done so ourselves, especially without a crate. In the updates she provided, she told us she had left him alone multiple times. We dropped our dog off with 10 days of food as he was going to stay with a family member after Carolina watched him for 4 days. When they picked him up, there was only 2 days left of food. She mentioned he threw up once when she left him alone and was having some diarrhea, which did not continue once our family member picked him up. Overall, our dog is healthy and we appreciate her watching him, but her leaving him alone and the food being gone increased our anxieties.
