Pet care fits naturally into my routine alongside school. I’m a physical therapy student with a consistent school schedule from 8am–5pm, which allows me to dedicate my evenings and weekends fully to pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I’m organized, reliable, and intentional about my time, so pets in my care receive focused attention, exercise, and companionship when I’m available, without feeling rushed.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide calm, attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. I follow feeding schedules, walk and exercise pets appropriately, and make sure they receive plenty of affection and supervision. I’m comfortable administering medications, supporting training or routines, and adjusting care for puppies or senior pets as needed. I also prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, keeping owners updated so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

Information Caroline K. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical conditions or medications. I also like to learn about their temperament, energy level, and any triggers, fears, or behavioral quirks so I can keep them comfortable and safe. Knowing how they interact with other animals and people, what commands they know, and what activities they enjoy most helps me tailor care to their needs. I also appreciate details like favorite toys, treats, sleeping spots, and any house rules, so I can maintain consistency and help pets feel secure while their owner is away.

A typical day

When I’m caring for pets, I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their personality and energy level. We’ll enjoy walks (from relaxed neighborhood strolls to more active adventures if they’re up for it), playtime with favorite toys, and fun games like fetch or tug. For calmer pets, I’m happy to provide cozy companionship with brushing, belly rubs, and quiet downtime. My goal is always to keep pets happy, engaged, and comfortable while maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

Caring for Pets Like They’re My Own

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 18. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal like my own and take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive - whether that means providing gentle, thoughtful care for senior pets who may need a slower pace, medications, or extra reassurance; or entertaining and providing playful care that helps puppies feel secure and supported. My goal is always to give you peace of mind and your pet a calm, happy experience.

I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Caroline for Rover. She is incredibly reliable, caring, and respectful of both pets and homes. Caroline has excellent time management and communication skills, which makes her someone you can truly trust with your pets. She treats every animal with genuine care and attention, and she takes pride in keeping things clean and organized. These qualities, combined with her love for animals, make Caroline an excellent choice for anyone looking for dependable and thoughtful pet care.
