Information Caroline D. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know the dog’s personality with people versus with other dogs. That can change which environments I bring the dog to and for how long. It’s also key to know if there is a daily routine the dog follows to ensure the dog feels as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

I love staying active with dogs specifically, whether it’s going on long walks, runs, or engaging in fun activities to keep us both moving. I also enjoy being social, so trips to the dog park to meet other dogs and their owners are one of my favorite ways to spend time. My goal is to make every day exciting and enjoyable for your furry friend while keeping them happy and healthy.

Caroline did a great job with Houdini. Everything went smoothly. Drop-off and pick-up was easy. Great communication! We would be happy to have Houdini stay with Caroline when we come back in town.

Caroline is absolutely fantastic! My pup suffers from horrible separation anxiety so he needs to be sat quite often. Caroline is our go to because we can trust he’s being given the best of care. She is incredibly responsive when determining our sitting needs, very flexible and respectful of our ask not to leave our pup alone. Would highly recommend Caroline for anyone looking for a sitter in the area!
