Kind, passionate, and capable

Pet care experience

Nothing brings me more joy than making sure that animals are happy and well-cared for! I have plenty of tools to help make your pets feel safe and happy after some fun games, training, or a relaxed walk. Some of my skills include: - Extensive training experience. I currently share my life with two working border collies. Both of them are incredible trick, obedience, tracking, and agility dogs. I LOVE training both puppies and adult dogs. - Familiarity with nervous and reactive dogs. As the owner of a nervous dog, I know how hard it can be to find a good fit for anxious pups. I take time to listen to your dog and try to make their experience as low stress as possible. - Tons of enrichment knowledge. I love finding ways to make my visits with your animals fun! I love to play treat hiding games, work on a fun, new training skill, or just let them sniff to their hearts content. - Great communication. I will make sure you know when I arrive to your pet as well as when we are back home safely. I take plenty of photos and always take notes so you can see what your pet was up to.

Caroline is so great with our dogs! She gets them exercise and mental stimulation so they are feeling happy and relaxed. I’m grateful!

Caroline was excellent walking my two dogs during the days while I was away. My one dog is very anxious and she was able to wrangle him no problem. I would definitely use her again!

What a LIFE SAVER Caroline has been. She could not be more of a gift to our pup when we ran in to a major issue and needed a little help giving him walks and attention. I’m not sure who is more grateful, us or the pup! She is prompt, attentive, kind, gentle and fun!

Caroline was so diligent and caring with updating me and sending me photos. She gave me full confidence in her and caring for my cat! Will definitely have her pet sit again.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize making my visits fun for your pets. If that's for a walk, I let the dog pick the pace with plenty of sniffing and engaging with their world. I also love playing some training games to work on leash manners or just to let them use their nose to find some snacks. If that's for a drop-in visit, I love a game of fetch, a quick training session, or just some cuddles depending on what works well for you and your dogs. I have a dog who has both some dietary restrictions and medications so I understand the importance of following your instructions to make sure your pet is healthy and happy.

Information Caroline H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any reactivity (just so I can prepare). Also if there are any dietary restrictions or exercise restrictions.

A typical day

I have lived with working dogs for the past ten years so I have a big bag of tricks! I love playing sniffing games (hidden treats in a room or toy), teaching new tricks (requests welcome), or working on some fun house manners (not bolting out of the door, going to your bed when asked, etc.). I also just love a good game of fetch or tug in the backyard or a little sniffari around the neighborhood.
