Your Mary Poppins for Dogs and pets
Pet care experience
I'm the go-to for all my friends who have dogs and cats that need looking after when they are away. I'm responsible, trustworthy, kind, and just love animals. I have experience in looking after dogs and cats. I've had puppies to look after and also very old dogs who needed a lot of extra care, medication and special dietary requirements. I've looked after all shapes and sizes of dogs.
Reviews
Caroline was amazing! She took such good care of my dog for a long weekend when I was away, and sent me regular updates on how they was doing. Would definitely have her take care of my dog again :)
Caroline was an amazing sitter for my sweet pug, LaLa. She stopped by for a meet and great before hand and was super communicative leading up the stay and throughout the whole time she watched LaLa. She sent updates everyday with pictures and truly treated LaLa like she was her own. I didn't have to worry about a thing and Caroline was even sweet enough to water my plants and leave some leftovers in the fridge! I would highly recommend Caroline to anyone and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. I don't think my dog even missed me at all :)
Caroline is AMAZING!!!! She was so wonderful with Jimi, kept me updated, and made sure he was taken care of. Even made him some food when mine ran out. 5 stars isn’t enough!!!
Our dog Lincy loves Caroline! My boyfriend and I often have Caroline to stay at our home to take care of our dog while we travel for work. Caroline is super reliable and trustworthy with our dog but also respectful of our home too which is really important to us. We work long hours and often use Caroline to take Lincy for late afternoon walks. She is great with dogs and we would highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment
I normally stay at my friend's houses when I look after their dogs/cats to keep them happier in their own environment. I prefer to meet the pup first so they can have a sniff and know who I am. I like to know their routine so I can stick to that when I care for them. I know they will miss their owners so to keep any anxiety to a minimum it's good to keep a routine I find. I respect everyone has a different take on looking after their pets so just leave instructions and they will be followed. All dogs/cats I look after I treat as my own, and they will get showered with lots of love, care, and attention. I'm a recent empty nester so I have the mom vibe and the only reason I don't have my own dog right now is that my apartment doesn't allow them, and so here I am, enjoying looking after other people's dogs whenever I can.
Information Caroline A. would like to know about your pet
I feel it is important to know a few key things about your dog, like are there certain breeds it doesn't get along with, any triggers for the dogs it doesn't like, dietary requirements, house rules so I can stick to them like not being allowed on the sofa or bed etc, any allergies. Really just anything you think is important for me to know as each dog is unique and has experienced different things.
A typical day
I live in Santa Monica, close to the beach and so I normally take the dogs for walks on the bluffs or on the beach boardwalk. There are plenty of other dogs around for interaction but I do check with the owners first if their dog doesn't get along with a certain breed etc, and also I judge the situation before letting dogs get near each other.
