Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Pet Lover & Caregiver
I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. One of my most rewarding experiences was training an Irish Doodle, which helped me develop a strong understanding of positive reinforcement techniques and the patience needed for effective training. I’m also attentive to the specific needs of each pet, whether they need extra playtime, gentle care, or just a cozy companion. What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong connection with animals and my personalized approach to pet care. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience with both young puppies and older dogs, understanding that each stage of life comes with its own set of needs—from playful energy to extra comfort and support. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making your pet’s experience stress-free and enjoyable.

Ratings and reviews
Caroline is the best! She has watched our dog Frankie several times and stays the night with her. She’s amazing at communication and sends the best updates (truly some of the cutest pics we have of our pup). Highly recommend!!
Caroline was great with my older pup. She was very communicative and sent frequent updates and pictures. I would happily use her again and recommend her to anyone else.
This is my third time working with Caroline and she has been amazing! Super attentive to details and very responsive. Teddy has come to really like her too. I’ll definitely be rebooking Caroline for the future
Caroline was so wonderful! Our two cats greatly enjoyed her and she took excellent care of them. We really appreciated how communicative Caroline was and the daily updates on the cats that she provided while we were away. We had never left the cats before and with Caroline watching them we had no worries about leaving them at all! She sent great kitty pics too😊
We came back to board Miko again, and as soon as he arrived he immediately went to play with Stormy 😂 At this point, he basically treats Caroline’s home like his own home. We always feel really comfortable leaving Miko here, and we’ll definitely come back again for boarding during the summer!
Caroline’s the best! My cat was in very good hands while I was away. She is great at communicating and providing updates as well

Schedule
Right I’m working part-time as a babysitter while I attend classes at Columbia University. Taking care of pets is what keeps me happy & motivated. I have a lot of time during the mornings and weekends to care for pets.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I provide a calm and cozy environment with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable. I have two friendly female cats—3-year-old sisters—who are well-socialized and used to having other pets around. I also have a large fenced yard, which is a rare find in the heart of Manhattan, giving dogs a safe space to explore and play under supervision. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and preferred activities, to make sure they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain your pet’s usual routine, providing lots of love, attention, and care to keep them happy and stress-free while you’re away.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me starts with making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. For cats, that might mean a gentle morning greeting, fresh food and water, and a clean litter box to start the day right. I love spending time playing with toys like feather wands or laser pointers, or just relaxing with them if they prefer calm companionship. For dogs, we’ll enjoy some outdoor time in my fenced yard or go on a nice walk to get energy out. I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality—whether that’s active play, cuddle time, or just being a quiet presence. Throughout the day, I make sure they stick to their routine, get plenty of attention, and have a cozy spot to nap. The goal is always to keep them happy, relaxed, and entertained while you’re away.
