Kind, caring animal lover / prof.
Pet care experience
I have been petsitting since I was young. I have sat for dogs, cats, and various rodents, but I'm open to watching and learning about any other animals that might come along. I have 3+ years of experience at doggy daycares, and am versed in a number of training techniques. I also have a certificate as a Veterinary Support Assistant, so I know how to help your animal if they become sick or injured during our stay. I am Fear Free certified, and will use my skills to make sure your pet has the most comfortable stay possible. I have experience bathing dogs and cutting their nails. I would love to meet great pets and their people. I strive to care for them and teach them skills so they can have a better life! I will make a positive impact on your and your dog's life if you choose me to be your professional sitter.
Reviews
Caroline was very sweet and my dog who is very excitable got along with him really well. She asked if it was ok if her boyfriend could come over for Valentine’s Day. I appreciated that very much because my concern was making sure Steely would still have attention. She sent pictures of Steely a couple times during the week I was gone. She also contacted me to see what to if he didn’t eat a meal. So she’s very responsible. I would definitely have Caroline again.
Attentive, caring, responsive. Sent pics of our Gertie happily on walks and at home in front of the fireplace. Made our trips so relaxing to know she was in such good hands. Thank you Caroline!
Caroline was communicative and did a great job caring for my two pets while I was out of town!
Caroline is fantastic! She responded right away to my request for availability, and was able to come and meet me and my dog Lexi soon thereafter. Caroline is studying to be an animal behaviorist, which was evident in how she interacted with Lexi: calm and friendly, comfortable but professional. Lexi liked her right away. I hired Caroline to walk Lexi when I had to be away for several hours during the day, and she offered to stay with her for an extra hour after the walk when I knew I would be later than expected. She was quick to answer my texts, and she sent photos of her time with Lexi. I am only hesitant to review Caroline so positively because I don't want her to get so busy that she can't walk Lexi when I need her to! Caroline is excellent!!!!

I use Fear Free techniques to ensure that the animals are having the best time possible during my stay. I make sure to give them plenty of exercise and attention and treat them as if they were my own pet.
Information Caroline D. would like to know about your pet
If they get along with other dogs and humans, any feeding or medication procedures I need to know about, any behavioral problems they might have.
A typical day
I usually enjoy taking dogs down the block and letting them choose where we go, I also enjoy going to parks and playing fetch! Sometimes if we're close enough to a beach I'll take dogs down there and let them play in the water, then come home for another game of fetch when we get back home!

While pet care is a focus of mine, I am currently attending further education in animal behavior therapy and have a varied schedule. I am always happy to discuss specific rates for various times and duration requirements.
