Pet care experience
Hello, dog lovers! I have a quaint two-story home in St. Paul with dog-friendly furniture and a fully fenced yard. I have two cats, so I ask that your dog is proven to be a good cat friend, as in your dog has spent time with cats and doesn't chase or bark at them. :-) I have two young border collies who love to play! I've owned dogs for 20 years and am a former volunteer for the Ramsey County Humane Society. My day job is only 15 minutes from home and right now I work from home most days, and my hours are flexible, so I can make extra trips to let the dogs out, give meds, etc. if need be. Thanks for considering me! Why I love dog sitting I started volunteering at the Humane Society about 16 years ago so I could learn to handle dogs. That's where I adopted my first dog, a chocolate lab named Dylan. Meet my pets Gabe the uber-happy yellow lab. About my yard I have a small fenced backyard and am six blocks from a really awesome enclosed dog park. And I love to use the dog park because it makes the dogs so nice and chill afterward. Some important business-y stuff: -I do charge for half days. For example, if you bring your dog to me on Friday morning and don't pick her up until Saturday night, I will charge for 1.5 days. -Try to bring only the food and bedding that your dog needs. Toys and treats tend to get lost in the fray, and I have plenty of both to keep your dog entertained.
Reviews
I really appreciated that Caroline was flexible in adding a day due to winter weather, and troubleshooted my internet and litter robot!
Our Rosie was loved and well cared for. I highly recommend this provider. She loves dogs and other animals, and more than lived up to her promises of great care.
Caroline’s dog, George, was sweet and kept mine active and happy. Caroline was
Luna seemed happy when we picked her up! Caroline also sent us a few photos while we were away, which were adorable. I’d use Caroline again.

Home
Information Caroline H. would like to know about your pet
Has your dog been around cats at all? Does your dog chase or bark at them? If so, we may not be a good fit. It helps to know of any fears or triggers the dog may have. I don't want to subject the dog to anything that will make him/her feel unsafe in my house.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks My dogs need walks, and so do I. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever he/she wants to, pretty much. Except outside. Time I'll spend with your dog At least one walk, plus play time. I do have a day job, but the dog will have my attention most other times of the day, and can sleep on the bed if he/she is used to that.
