Compassionate & Ethical Pet Care
Pet care experience
I’m an attentive animal lover with almost 10 years of professional experience working with animals of all shapes and sizes. From managing horse farms, to fostering high need dogs, to caring for goat herds, to bottle feeding kittens; I have seen and done a lot of different types of animal care! I’m comfortable working with higher-needs dogs and cats, administering medications, and sticking to training managements and protocols that have already been established. My two current dogs, Tess (7) and Poppy (3), have both been in my life since they were 8 weeks old. I believe in encouraging animals to be confident and engaged through positive reinforcement and careful management.
Reviews
Caroline is an amazing with all pets, and especially dogs. They are loving and playful , safety conscious and concerned always for the pets well-being. As well as being reliable and on-time, they are calm in an emergency and I would trust them to handle any situation. Caroline gets my highest recommendation!

Safety, trust & environment
My two personal dogs are dog friendly and can be company for your dog on walks or boarding, or can be left behind if your dog would prefer individual attention. I live in downtown Portland, but have a car and current drivers license and can walk dogs downtown or drive them to nearby parks for different types of adventures.
Information Caroline K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time of any medical concerns that may apply to you dog. Also, please let me know about any training or behavioral difficulties your dog might encounter. I am more than happy to work within any training structure that has already been set for your dog!
A typical day
I like to make sure dogs in my care are stimulated mentally and physically- making for happy, tired, settled dogs. This looks like walks in local parks, games and training, confidence building, and “sniffaris” where your dog is empowered to sniff everything under the sun! A mentally enriched dog is a happy dog!
Services
Caroline can watch in your home
Availability
I work part time and take some classes at USM. My schedule is somewhat flexible and I have plenty of space to fit in walks for your furry friend!
