Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home where they can stay relaxed and keep their normal routine. I provide attentive in-home care that includes feeding, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of one on one attention throughout the stay. Please note: I use a cane for longer walks.

Information Caroline A. would like to know about your pet

During our meet & greet, I cover these important questions to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. I ask about any medical issues your pet may have and any quirks they might display, such as reverse sneezing. I also inquire about potential triggers when out in public, like people on bikes or skateboards, garbage trucks, other dogs, squirrels, or strangers. Additionally, I ask about any anxiety your pet might experience. I only feed your dog the treats and food you provide, nothing from my own supply.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level and instructions from the Pawrent(s). This can include walks, playtime with their favorite toys, enrichment games, and plenty of one on one attention. I focus on companionship, gentle interaction, and keeping their routine calm and consistent.

I can’t recommend our pet sitter highly enough! She has been absolutely wonderful with Mimi, our Shih Tzu, who requires medication three times a day. From the moment we left, she took excellent care of her and made us feel completely at ease. Her communication is exceptional, she keeps us updated throughout the entire day, from morning to night, with pictures and updates on how Mimi is doing. It’s so reassuring to know she is being well cared for, especially with her medication schedule. She also makes sure Mimi gets her daily walks, lots of attention, and plenty of love. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and treats them like her own. We came home to a happy, well cared for Mimi, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. We will absolutely be booking her again!

Caroline was amazing with our rescue dachshund Tella. She was so empathetic to us and Tella who just lost the other half of her bonded pair, and took Tella on with such patience since we all didn’t quite know how she’d handle being dog-watched alone for the first time. Caroline also messaged regularly with so many picture updates to comfort us knowing we probably had more separation anxiety than Tella did! As a pet owner of a somewhat difficult rescue dachshund - and if you know dachshunds you know what I mean- i was worried about finding the right sitter and Caroline went above and beyond.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
