Highlights
Pet care experience
NYC's Fave Pet Auntie
Hello and welcome! First and foremost I want to thank you for visiting my profile. Your interest means everything to me and helps keep me doing the job I love! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, and I've been on Rover for two years and counting. I've learned so much in such a short time and built meaningful connections with so many dogs and their owners. This is my full-time job and I take it seriously - with over 100 5🌟 reviews and over a third of my total customers being repeat clients, you will be glad to know your dog is in good hands. I consider myself to be like an "auntie" to pets: I come in, give a big warm hello, spoil your dog with cuddles, treats and praise while making sure to adhere to pet parents' rules, make their time away from you as sweet, fun and joyful as I possibly can, and then hand them back well loved. I genuinely have never met a pet I didn't enjoy and click with right away and I believe it is our job as humans to be a sweet, patient and guiding force to pets as we navigate the world side by side. Disclaimer: I am not a trainer or behaviorist - just a sitter! I'm glad to work with pet parents on maintaining already existing training protocols and using commands/routines that are known, and I am skilled at positive reinforcement training with dogs, but if your dog shows signs of destructive anxiety or resource based aggression, your best bet would be to book a behaviorist or someone with a training background and tools. Due to personal reasons, I no longer accept last minute bookings and require at least two days' notice before booking a sit. I'm pretty firm on this policy but if you are desperately in need of a last minute sitter, I may be able to accommodate for a fee.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am mostly booked for sits in the client's home, so I try to keep things as close to the same as if the owners were home as possible. When booking me, don't hesitate to spare no detail as to what your dogs preferences and daily routines are - I am beyond glad to accommodate. I do not do off-leash walking at all. Each dog's relationship with and trust toward a person is different and the dog's safety is the most important thing in my book. I have experience with traditional leashes, pinch collars, and slip leads. I will not walk on retractable leashes as they break often, creating an escape risk.
Ratings and reviews
Leaving our pup in Caroline’s care allows us to travel with peace of mind. During Caroline’s latest stay with our senior pup in our home, Caroline promptly reported to us that our pup had gotten a bit sick with a minor upset stomach. Caroline provided excellent details and care to help us ensure our gal was doing okay. Caroline truly went above and beyond to make sure we were in the loop and that our pup was feeling better in no time. While we hate leaving our girl, we know our pup is safe, happy, and loved with Caroline!
Caroline was awesome, very communicative and sent lots of updates and pictures. Jordy was a happy puppy!
Caroline - sweet Caroline - what a wonderful petsitter! Very easygoing, communicative, and responsible; we had no worries leaving our dog with her for a week. Great housesitter as well. We already can't wait til our next booking with Caroline, and I'm sure our dog is looking forward to it too.
Kimbap’s favorite Auntie! Amazing job Caroline did for Kimbap. Kimbap’s older now and has more needs. He needed to be carried and supported on peeing and drinking water and Caroline did a great job keeping him comfortable and cared for. Thank you Caroline
I don’t know who loves Caroline more, me or my 2 dogs. She’s our go-to for walks and stays. She’s highly communicative, responsive, and loving. There’s no better peace of mind when I’m away than having her care for my babies.
Caroline is so attentive and communicative! Really lucky to have found her for my special needs pup
