Compassionate

Pet care experience

I look forward to loving your dog as much as you would while you're away! I have lived in a home with at least one dog my entire lifetime, and believe that they are the greatest companions. I know that having a sitter provides the comfort of knowing that they are safe and well cared for and although they will miss you, they can find companionship in a free and open space rather than occasional walks and a confinement. I have experience dog-sitting for neighbors throughout childhood and in my adult life have pet sit for a number of families including watching their home and can provide house-cleaning services simultaneously upon request. As a mental health professional in my day job, I have working knowledge of behavior modification and will be consistent with training that you have utilized to help your pet stay happy! I am open to serving you and your pets in all ways that will make your time away more enjoyable and stress-free, as I let you teach me how to be your pet sitter. Along with my husband, round the clock dog sitting can be accommodated as I work from home and can work remotely from your home, and my husband's office is central to many Tampa locations. When sitting in your home, I go above and beyond to ensure that you know when I will be in your home and let you tell me what you expect of a house guest, including if you'd like a spruce while I'm there! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any and all questions you may have prior to your time away; leaving a pet with a sitter should allow you to feel comfortable with their care, and I hope to provide you with the confidence you need to know that they are in good hands. No detail will go unaddressed, and assurance, photos and updates about your pet can be provided throughout their visit!

Caroline was an absolute dream. Hank loved her from their first meet and greet so I was completely comfortable leaving him in her care! She is a great communicator and she handled all of Hank’s needs with ease.

Caroline is AMAZING. My GSD usually has anxiety and takes a while to warm up to people, but the two of them were peas in a pod from day 1. Caroline has watched Reagan twice now and both times I’ve gotten picture updates and come home to a clean house. Thank you Caroline!!!

Caroline is AMAZING! After I read Carolines profile I arranged to have her come to my house to meet her and have her meet my 2 Shetland Sheepdogs and my 2 cats. I needed to have someone stay at my house. I immediately felt comfortable with Caroline and so did my pets. She is very professional and very sweet and loving with all of the animals. I went over with her what would need to be done while we were gone. We were gone for 5 days and she did a fantastic job! While we were away she sent updates and pictures,(which I loved). Her responsibilities included giving one of my cats medication twice a day and that was taken care of with no problem. I came home to very happy pets and a clean house. :-D I will definately call Caroline again! Thank you!

Caroline is a sweetheart and is so flexible with last minute schedule changes. I trust her with my baby who is older and has challenging needs. I would call her again and have already told others about having her take care of their loved ones. She is the BEST!

Any accommodation needed I will be able to provide. In your home, I will follow all routines you have set and we will get to know each other by going over all of the details and special ways you treat your pet. In my home, I can accommodate a crate of any size if needed. Our yard is not yet fenced, but I have done sitting from my own home in apartment complexes and can easily provide walks on lead and would also be happy to arrange a visit to a dog park if that is something your pet work enjoy!

Information Caroline C. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know how your pet responds to other dogs and if they have ever been around a cat. Also, will they be more comfortable with background noise when left alone and do they have any special "spots" to be rubbed or scratched? I'm no stranger to providing medication to a pet, and just need to know how that works in your household to keep your pet comfortable and consistent. Finally, I'd like to know if your dog has a history of chewing, anxiety, and any habits that you have learned to work around in your own home - we do our best to prevent all accidents based on your feedback. If we experience damage of property to our home, we will ask that owners make arrangements to repair or replace such property in a reasonable manner on a case-by-case basis.

A typical day

When pets stay in our home, they will have a fenced back yard to run and play in. When baths are necessary, a tub with a hose will give them a spa-like experience. The rest of the time, we will go for walks around the neighborhood, snuggle up, or enjoy our screened patio.
