Highlights
Pet care experience
Kind, passionate, and capable
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. I am also comfortable caring for small animals and poultry. I’ve kept many pets over the years and currently have a mixed flock of geese and chickens!

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.
Ratings and reviews
The cat loved her, she was reliable and communicative.
Caroline was fantastic! Our dogs love her and she sent lots of updates and pictures. It is so great to be able to relax when I’m away from home- knowing that someone who loves dogs is stopping by to take care of them so I don’t have to rush home. Will definitely be using Caroline again!
A total cat whisperer! Caroline immediately charmed our high-maintenance boy and gave him all the attention he needed even though his parents weren't around. She's prompt, caring, communicative, and a fantastic person to have on Team Cat.
Caroline was great. Highly recommend and will be booking again!
Caroline loves dogs and is extremely knowledgeable about caring for them! She is great at communicating and sending photos to let you know your pups are doing well.
Caroline was thoughtful and kind. I'm glad to know that we can ask her back to care for Sprite if we're away!

Schedule
I am currently back in Maine after ten years and figuring out next steps career-wise. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to work with my clients to find a schedule that works for both humans and pets.
