The perfect dog cuddler for you :)

Pet care experience

Hello there and Welcome! We're John and Caroline ( and Duke). Caroline has been a Rover walker/sitter for roughly 3 years in MA, prior to moving to PA during COVID. She's decided to take it up full time, doing the whole shabang! Walking, over-nights, drop ins, daycare. You name it, she's up for it! Typically in toe ( if allowed) is Duke! Duke is our 70 lb great dane mix that loves everyone and everything. We understand that not all dogs like other dogs, so he only comes along if allowed ( that is, for drop ins and walks ONLY...not overnights). During the day, he is generally my shadow. (case and point, as I type this, he's leaning up against my leg, under the table). John works afternoon/evenings, so we are both around until about 2pm, then it's just Caroline. We have 2 parks within walking distance, or there are some dog parks as well, if your dog likes those. We have a big back yard ( that isn't fenced), and we also have 2 50 foot leashes, so the dogs can run around outside.... but not for long in the cold!! We keep blankets and beds around here, and pets are allowed on the furniture! ( if you're ok with it) because here.... we like to snuggle

Thanks Caroline for being with Zeke and thank both of you for being patient as he got to know you and spending time outside.

Caroline was awesome! So accommodating and convenient to have someone watch Sadie at home! Would definitely recommend and will definitely use again in future.

Caroline did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were away on vacation. We came home to two happy boys and couldn't have been happier with how she helped while we were away. Thank you again!

Caroline was great while watching our kitties while we were on vacation. I could truly relax and enjoy myself as I knew they were in good hands with Caroline. She sent picture updates throughout the week which always put a smile on my face. She even vacuumed and washed the sheets before we got home—Completely unexpected but very much appreciated!! We will definitely be using Caroline’s services when we go out of town next.

Information Caroline G. would like to know about your pet

I'm more than okay with any type of breed- I do not puppy discriminate! I would like to know if the dog has a favorite toy. If they do, which? Is your dog social or quiet? Do they even like other dogs? I have experience with that, as my parents cockapoo is what I call a 'grumpy old man'. Are they more trusting or more hesitant?

A typical day

Depending on where you live and how active the dog is, we can go to various different places! If you have a quieter dog, or one that doesn't play well with others, research can be done to make sure I take your dog to a more secluded park or side streets to walk around. I love 'play wrestling' with dogs. Which is obviously on the softer side, so as not to put the dog in danger. I have found that this brings out the playful side in even the quietest of dogs. I'm also a fan of puppy naps. Every dog is still a puppy, no matter what age. Car rides are awesome, if both you and the dog are okay with them. I love spending any time I can with dogs.

Availability

I wake up early, so typically take care of early morning potty breaks and breakfast. Pets tend to go back to sleep until my husband wakes up. He takes them for a second walk, and gets ready for work. Animals have the potential for being alone 2 hours if I'm running errands. We are home bodies, so afternoons and evenings are spent at home, or taking the dogs to the park in Haverford or the one Springfield.
