About Caroline H.
Communication

Safety, trust & environment
At your home, I will be respectful of your space and the way you cater to your pet and their needs. I want to build a relationship to get to know you and your pet and will treat them as if they were my own!
Information Caroline H. would like to know about your pet
It’s helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs ahead of time. I also like to learn about their personality, energy level, favorite activities, and any quirks or triggers (such as fears or reactivity). Information about training cues, leash manners, and how they interact with other animals or people is important too. The more I know in advance, the better I can keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away!
A typical day
I always try to tailor activities to each pet’s personality, age, and energy level. This can includes walks, playtime with favorite toys, and plenty of affection and companionship. For pets with higher energy, I’m happy to do longer walks or longer play time, while pets on the older side can get light exercise, relaxed interaction, and comfort.

Reviews
Caroline takes incredible care of my dog Wally. He is very anxious and Caroline is aways so flexible and patient with him. We really appreciate how responsible and communicative she is and we always feel confident he is in the best hands!
amazing Caroline!! Befriended our shy, middle aged dog!! and took GREAT care of him
Caroline H. was great! I really appreciated that she reached out a few days in advance so I felt confident there would be no hiccups on the start date. I also appreciated that she stripped the bed and started the washing machine with her sheets and towels before we came home. She was understanding when, after the wedding, I was delayed and my brother and his wife arrived back at the house before me. But most importantly, I could tell she treated our dog well while were were away!
Caroline was excellent! She communicated clearly and was so sweet with our pup. Highly recommend!
