Work from home dog enthusiast!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Caroline. I have a flexible work schedule, work from home 100% of the time, and generally am not away from the house for more than a few hours at a time. I have a medium sized yard (accessible via dog door) for short breaks but we will go on walks around the neighborhood each day (if your dog is up for it). I always send lots of high quality photos and videos of your dog enjoying his stay - see my profile for some examples. My dream job would be a dog photographer. I'm a solo mom to a 1 year old baby who attends daycare, so I'm also home in the evenings to hang out with your pooch. My own dog Brewster passed in October of 2022 after 13 years together. I'm not quite ready to get another dog yet, but please know my motivation to host is 100% because I absolutely love all dogs.

Caroline was wonderful. I knew my dog was in great hands the whole time. She sent so many pictures and updates of my pup having fun. Her son, Elliott, is super playful and sweet. Caroline was very accommodating when our flight home got canceled and we had to extend Pepper’s stay time for a couple of hours.

We absolutely would recommend Caroline. The whole time she was there you could tell that she truly cared for our Ellie and that Ellie was completely relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate leaving her there again.

Caroline is absolutely wonderful! I am traveling for work now a decent amount and sometimes am gone for 3 nights. I used to board my dog Rylee but I realized it was such a stressful situation for her, and often times she was not cared for to my standards. I really wanted to find a great home for her to be in and Caroline had the perfect set up for what we were looking for! She made sure my dog ate, got play time and cuddle time, and she sent the best updates throughout the day. When I picked my dog up I noticed how different she was compared to a boarding experience. She wasn’t stressed or upset, just seemed very happy! I will definitely book with her again.

Caroline was absolutely amazing! She kept in touch a few times a day to keep me posted on how Ollie was doing! Caroline also sent multiple pictures and a video! Highly recommend Caroline!

Information Caroline I. would like to know about your pet

Happy to hear as much as possible about your dog ahead of time. If your dog has any favorite toys, games, or special proclivities I'm happy to hear about that as well. Knowing their usual schedule is helpful to make sure they settle in quickly.

A typical day

My favorite walking trails are in Mary Moore Searight Park and Onion Creek Park. There are several dog parks nearby that I love to visit. If your dog is up for it we'll go swimming as well. Otherwise, we'll enjoy several walks around the neighborhood and play in the yard. I have a dog door and nice outdoor set up for dogs who enjoy being outside during the day.
