Let me love your pup!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Caroline, a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I believe every dog deserves a safe, fun, and loving environment while their owners are away. I offer: Daily walks and playtime tailored to your dog’s energy level. A cozy home environment with plenty of cuddles. Regular updates and photos so you can stay connected. I’m committed to keeping your furry friend happy and healthy. Whether it's a short visit or an extended stay, I can’t wait to meet your pup and provide the care they deserve! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. Looking forward to caring for your beloved pet!

Caroline did an excellent job with Clara. Clara can be a bit fussy but it all went very well and she was very happy when I dropped her off and also when I picked her up. She was so happy I wasn’t sure if she didn’t wanna just stay there with Caroline!

Caroline responded quickly to a last minute request, provided detailed info on Pepper's walk, and pictures. I'll be using her again. Highly recommended.

Caroline accepted a last minute dog sitting request for us and it worked out great. Her communication was above and beyond and she took great care of our puppy! I would recommend Caroline to anyone who needs animal care.

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.

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
