Lifelong pet lover/vet's daughter
Pet care experience
Growing up as the daughter of a vet, I often helped my dad out as his clinic, walking dogs, cleaning cages, and assisting with appointments. Through those experience and just by my nature, I have an enormous love of animals, as well as the patience and compassion necessary to take care of them with the attention they deserve.
Reviews
Caroline is a great choice of caregiver for any pet. She has been around animals for her whole life and loves them all. In addition to caring for pets, she has veterinary knowledge from growing up around her father's veterinary office and then working there as a vet assistant. There, she has learned how to safely approach and handle even the most difficult animals. Caroline also pays close attention and can identify when pets might need medical care. For instance, she noticed that my dog's leg was shaking and let me know that that could be a sign of arthritis, which I then followed up with my vet about. Caroline has a very calming presence, and in my experience, animals feel at ease around her.
Caroline is a very responsible grad student. She is so helpful and kind to others. She has spent many years volunteering for the Richmond community and is loved and respected by her friends and peers. I highly recommend Caroline to assist in anyway possible from walking your dog or caring for your home when needed.
Caroline is an attentive and caring dog owner who is always willing to go the extra mile (literally!!) to make sure the dogs in her care get everything they need from a walk. Because she has grown up with dogs her whole life, she reads dogs' cues extremely well and makes sure the dogs in her care are happy and safe.

I live in a very contained, second-story apartment that would be very difficult to escape from. I also have two caring roommates who can provide an extra set of eyes on the pets in our home.

Information Caroline B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what makes your dog happy and what makes them anxious or upset. Do they like belly rubs or scratches behind the ears? I’m happy to provide :-)
A typical day
I love to walk around Byrd park almost every day. Having a furry friend with me only makes the experience more enjoyable. The dog park there can be a great place for sociable pups to really stretch their legs and make some friends.
