Pet care experience
Hello! I'm a St. Paul-based photographer looking to walk your dog! I find that between gigs I have a lot of extra time and am looking for something to keep me active/bring in a little extra cash. If you need a regular dog walker or someone just to stop by once, let me know! I have a pretty open schedule and know well in advance when I won't be available. I'm also available to do overnight dog sitting in either your or my home. I'm clean, punctual, and will give your dog all the love and care you would while you're away. Why I love dog sitting I have been loving dogs my whole life. When I was a kid, I begged my parents for a dog, and one night my dad brought home our first -- a Chesapeake Bay retriever named Brutus. He was huge and super friendly, and all around a great dog. Later we also got a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix named Dunkers. He has a very particular personality, and has become a bit of a curmudgeon with age, but I love him none the less. I generally feel pretty comfortable around dogs of all sizes and breeds. My experience administering medication I feel pretty confident giving pills and medication that is squirted into the dog's mouth.
Reviews
Caroline watched Bailey for us during our many wedding festivities. She took great care of her and we had less strss knowing someone was around to watch and play with her. She was so accomodating with the amount of time we needed her to stay! Thanks so much!!
Caroline is an excellent pet/house sitter. She sent photos and updates of our two dogs which was both fun to see and reassuring. The house was in perfect shape upon returning home and our dogs were happy and well cared for. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for these services.
Caroline was great! We had to find a sitter last minute and she was super flexible. She was also great with the dogs and sent us pictures every day! Will definitely hire her again!
Caroline was the awesomeist of awesomes. She sat for our three dogs with complicated socialization issues, so my husband and I could be at the hospital together for the birth of our child. Because of her flexible schedule, competence, and good nature, I was able to deliver without worrying about the care of our dogs. Everyone was happy and well cared for when we returned. I can't thank her enough.

Information Caroline D. would like to know about your pet
Before walking or sitting your dog, it would be nice to have as much information as possible -- your dog's temperament, any dietary restrictions, medication needs, regular walk schedule, etc.
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog Because I work freelance, I am available to spend most of the day with your dog. Of course, I'll take breaks to get coffee, or run errands, but when I'm dog sitting, your dog is my top priority. As far as walks go, I think that is dependent on your dog's energy level and regular schedule. Extra house-sitting services I can definitely do simple tasks for you while you're away, such as watering plants and grabbing your mail. Anything else can be negotiated I'm sure.
