Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client's home, I am respectful of their space as well as mindful of the care they provide for their pets. I believe animals are truly part of the family and need love and respect to feel safe.

Information Caroline D. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know your pet's likes, dislikes, and how they interact with other animals they may encounter. It's important to know how they feel about strangers, vehicles, and bicycles as well. I want to know their favorite toys, treats, and energy level. Every pet is special and has a unique personality!

A typical day

Depending on your animal’s needs and abilities, I love to go on walks or runs through beautiful neighborhoods. If your pup enjoys its own special treats and toys, I'd love to bring those along and stop in a park to play. They can count on lots of pets and exploration. Kitties can count on play time with toys, snuggles, and treats! I always provide pictures during my visits and walks.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. The dog breeds I’ve had in my own home include Great Pyrenees, Standard Poodle, Bichon Frise, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Golden Doodle, and a Leonberger. Being around pups of all shapes and sizes brings me such joy. I’m comfortable working with strong larger dogs because those are the breeds I grew up with. In college, my roommate had a small, shy dog who I regularly cared for. I grew up with two cats who I adored that lived until their high teens. I now have a sweet little kitty boy named Buttons who is 2 years old and a 9 year old tortoiseshell loving girl, Damien.

Caroline is an outstanding dog walker! She instantly built rapport with our dog Goldie and listened to my instructions (to not have her walk too close to other dogs).I felt Goldie was well taken care of during her walks. She also took and sent several photos. A+

Caroline is just a fantastic person. She truly cares about your dog. I forgot to leave the door unlocked and she stayed until someone came to open the door. That meant a lot!

Caroline was so wonderful!! She was prompt, responsible, and sent so many photos each day. She was great with my kitty who adored her and even sacrificed some of her own hair ties for her to play with!
