Home full time - walks and cuddles!
Pet care experience
Hi! I have had dogs just about my entire life and can't imagine life without them! I love every dog I meet -I'm that person who must stop and pet every dog I see. I am home full-time, running two small Etsy businesses. The great thing about my days is that I do my own scheduling, which means your dog will get what he/she needs when he/she needs it + so much more! Between my own dogs, friend's dogs and my family's dogs, I have lots of experience caring for all kinds of dogs; young, elderly, energetic, lazy, special needs, dogs who need medication, dogs who need to go outside often, dogs who need extra cuddles, dogs who need their space, you name it! Every dog that is in my care is treated like my own and becomes part of our pack. We go for a few walks a day with lots of opportunity to run, play and burn off some extra wiggles. I would be honored to care for your pup while you're away!
Reviews
I am so glad that Caroline and my pup Maya were able to connect so quickly although Maya is shy and timid. Caroline is super nice and you can tell she cared about Maya. It was nice to know that my pup was taken care of by Caroline like she was her own and I really enjoyed the daily updates and photos.
Thanks for taking such great care of our baby! She had such a great time and was nice and tuckered out after
Caroline was awesome. Max loved it & Beru was great with him. Absolutely loved the daily photos & updates. Would not hesitate to return.
Pepper returned tired and happy. Caroline was very pleasant to work with and provided us with pictures and updates during the day. We would definitely use her again.

Information Caroline D. would like to know about your pet
I would need to know if your dog has issues with possessiveness regarding toys or food, any fears, or other dog personalities it may clash with. We often come across other dogs in our daily activities so I would want to be prepared! Other helpful information: how your dog is with children, do they have any injuries or painful/sensitive areas, if they have any allergies, or issues with stairs (we live on the second floor of an old character house with a doggy ramp for part of the stairs). I require a meet and greet with my dog present because although she's good with most dogs, she mainly doesn't do well with younger dogs who have a lot of energy and like to bug her. She's only 3 years old, but she can act like an 85 year old grump sometimes. She absolutely adores most dogs, especially if they're older and wiser than her. She will be submissive and respectful as long as they aren't constantly in her face. She gets a lot of comments on how polite she is when meeting other dogs, but to be on the safe side I would like our dogs to meet first before solidifying a booking!
A typical day
We usually go for a few walks around our neighborhood every day. Our longer walk in the evening is either to Vic High for some laps and running (or we'll just sit in the shade with some light ball play on hot days), or sometimes we'll head to the beach or another park for a change of scenery. When we're not outdoors, it's usually pretty mellow in our place with lots of time for cuddles, naps, grooming, playing and chilling. Our large deck is gated, so the dogs have the option of hanging on the deck if they want to!
