certified animal lover <3
Pet care experience
I've been surrounded by dogs all of my life. From my sophomore to senior year in high school, I volunteered with Northern Kentucky's Stray Animal Adoption Program, where I volunteered weekly at adoption events. Since going to college, I have applied and been approved to volunteer at the Bloomington Animal Shelter. All this goes to say that I really enjoy being around dogs. I'm a pretty active person, so I can keep up with the energetic younglings. At the same time, I enjoy an afternoon nap as much as any old dog. I follow instructions well and am very communicative when it comes to your pets–– it's what I would want in a pet sitter for my own pups
Reviews
Caroline is the BEST with dogs! She lived with me and my dog last year and she was so great at watching him while I was gone. 10/10 recommend Caroline to watch your dog and give him/her some lovin’ :)
Caroline is amazing! She is always our go to whenever we have to go out of town, is on time, efficient, and does whatever we need. Our dog and kittens love her, and she always make sure to do whatever we ask and even go a step further. She is always a constant for us, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else to take care of our fur babies!
My boys love it when Caroline comes to stay! She is caring, dependable and responsible. She takes excellent care of my two Golden Retrievers (7 and 1) and my home! She kept me updated with pictures and texts and kept the boys in their routine by staying at the house! 10/10 recommend Caroline! And will use her every time I can!
About Caroline J.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As mentioned before, I follow instructions very well. Whatever you request for your dogs safety, I will adhere to. I will crate them if I leave the house, if that is your standard protocol. If they are outside, I will make sure they are safe, whether that be on a leash or fenced in.

Information Caroline J. would like to know about your pet
The most important thing I would want to know is if your dogs have any triggers so I know what to look out for on walks. For example, if they are scared of cars, I would want to know that. Or if they pull really hard on a leash-- I'd want to know that too!
A typical day
I love to walk-- and I'm sure your dog does too! There's no specific place I necessarily prefer to go for walks, but anywhere with some grass and a path is good enough for me! I also love to play fetch with the dogs if they know how!

I just graduated college and moved to the DC area for grad school. I have evening classes but would love to spend my weekends and spare time hanging out with some doggies!
