Pet care experience

Happy Doggo = Happy Life

I have lots of experience in senior dogs and multiple dog households. I’ve lived with dogs my entire life. All of them were rescues and most of the time we had a minimum of 2 with a max of 4. Some breeds I grew up with were Labs, Goldens, Vizlas, German Shorthaired pointers, Pitt bull mixes, Beagles, Pomeranians, and Yorkies. I know how to administer food (dry, wet, cooked, or a mix). I know dogs love routines and their humans so I will give them many belly rubs and pats while making sure that they are getting their arthritis pills on time, and are fed, walked, and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for your pets just as if they were my own four legged family. I will ask you probably too many questions about your routine and what rules you have with your dog. If you don’t want them on the couch I’ll keep them off but if they MUST have couch cuddle time who am I to say no to such a request.

Carloine was a wonderful sitter who stayed with our two dogs at our house. It was reassuring to leave the dogs with someone who genuinely cares for the pups she looks after. Communicative, sent a picture every day and the dogs always looked happy and at ease. In addition, Caroline was a perfect house guest and left everything spic-and-span for us on our return. I recommend Caroline unreservedly and will surely call on her again in the future. Thank you Caroline!

We had daily updates from Caroline! She stayed at our house and it was clean and organized when we came back. Our dog got his 3 walks a day as requested. This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone overnight so understandably we were very nervous but it went very well!

Caroline is an absolute gem! She made sure my dogs were well cared for while I was traveling for work, and sent frequent updates and pictures! I had moved to Raleigh only one week prior, so my apartment was a bit chaotic with unpacked boxes here and there, and the dogs were still adjusting to their new routines, having been suburban dogs with a fenced yard only a week prior. Additionally, we lived very close to family before our move, so this was their first time with a dog sitter. As the icing on the cake, one of my dogs has degenerative myelopathy and uses a wheelchair for outside time, and Caroline handled it like a pro. I already have her booked for my next trip, and I feel totally confident that my fur babies will be happy and healthy while I’m away!

Caroline did a FANTASTIC job sitting our dogs while we were on vacation. She regularly sent pictures and updates of our two pups, which definitely put us at ease. We could tell that they were happy and well taken care of. She was also extremely understanding and accommodating when we unexpectedly had to extend for an extra day due to a flight cancellation. She kept our house tidy and even went the extra mile to wash the sheets and blankets and make the bed after her stay. Highly recommend! We will definitely be rebooking with Caroline in the future!

Schedule

I’m an NC State student and seeing all the lovely pets around the area makes Raleigh feel a bit more like my home. It gives me a fresh view of the area, I wanna know the cool places your dogs get to explore on walks, what parks I haven’t been to, and what coffee shop by you has the best pup cups and lattées. I love being able to choose my work hours on here depending on how my class load is so I can relax a bit during midterms and finals but have decently consistent pay the rest of the semester while I major in Science Technology and Society with a concentration in Biology.
