Safety, trust & environment

I promise I will take the absolute best care of your pet. I have had 2 dogs and 2 cats. I deeply care about all of them, so I know how hard it can be to trust a stranger to take care of a pet. If you have a questions or concerns please feel free to reach out!

Information Carolina M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how trained your dog is and if they behave well with other dogs. I believe I am able to handle a big dog, however if they are aggressive on or off leash please let me know. If there’s anything you think I should know that I am not listening here feel free to also let me know. I listened that I have never taken care of an elderly dog, which is true, but I am still willing to learn!

A typical day

I can do as little or as much as the owner wants me to do. I have no issue driving to the dog beach here on West Cliff or going to a park and walking. I am a very active person, so depending on how trained each dog is, I have no problem going on runs and playing games like catch or running around to make sure they are tired once they are back home.

Pet care experience

I grew up having a German Shepherd, but since it was a family pet I did not consider those as years in pet care. However, 3 years ago I got my own dog. I am certain I can take care of a puppy and older. I know the amount attention and care a dog needs on top of staying on track with my schedule.

Carolina is a very responsible person. She took such a great care of my puppies. Would hire her again.

Carolina took care of our Chihuahua, Sofia, for 12 days while we traveled to Japan, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Sofia is a very spoiled and cautious little dog who has never been left without us before. Carolina was incredibly patient and took the time to build trust with her through several meet-and-greet visits before our trip. Throughout our vacation, she sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. What impressed us most was how quickly Sofia warmed up to her. Sofia is extremely selective about people and usually keeps her distance, but by the end of the stay, she was sitting on Carolina's lap and allowing pets and cuddles, a huge accomplishment that speaks volumes about Carolina's gentle and caring nature. Carolina was reliable, communicative, respectful of our home, and went above and beyond whenever we needed help. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing Sofia was safe, loved, and well cared for. We came home to a happy dog and a well-kept home. We would absolutely trust Carolina with Sofia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter.

Carolina was reliable and easy to communicate with when needed. She took great care of our fur-baby and we will be happy to hire her again.
