Availability

I live with my partner of 8 years, Kurt who is pictured in my gallery and referenced in reviews. Pet care seamlessly blends into daily routine, especially since I work part-time. I prioritize walks and playtime, fitting these activities around my work schedule to ensure pets get plenty of attention and exercise. I also enjoy incorporating training and socialization to keep them engaged and happy. My flexible hours allow me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for, making sure they feel loved and secure while their owners are away

Safety, trust & environment

I provide personalized pet care based on the specific needs of each pet and their home environment. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming space, with plenty of room for play and relaxation. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and bathroom breaks, ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely to minimize stress. I make sure to provide regular exercise, playtime, and companionship. I also prioritize keeping the environment clean and familiar, while providing updates to the owners, so they feel connected to their pets during their time away. My goal is to ensure every pet receives the love and attention they deserve, whether in my home or theirs.

Caroline did amazing with our two baby girls. They both present unique challenges given their history as abused rescue doggies. She was empathetic, loving, and flexible with them. In addition to her care for the dogs, she was prompt, professional, kind, and super fun. Thank you for being so awesome, Caroline.
