Pet care experience
Hello! I am 26 years old who grew up in Kentucky surrounded by a house full of animals - mostly cats and dogs, but also a few fish and hamsters here and there. I have three family dogs, Ellie, Rue, and Agnes, and a cat, Rue. I’ve always had small dogs but my sister has a German Shepard, and I’ve pet sat for a 100lb Silver Lab! I also have experience in caring for a very small chihuahua, Jagger. I have pet sat for my neighbors pets- German Shepard and Tabby Cat- for a number of weeks on multiple occasions! I have two hairless cats, Peabody and Panko, whom I would do anything for. I have experience in providing needed medications to animals, as one of my dogs is epileptic, my neighbors pets required meds, and my own cat, Peabody takes a handful of pills everyday. When I moved to Washington, DC in 2019, I started sitting on Rover and have loved it. I’ve had two long-term clients (golden retriever teddy bears) and I walked them together, house sat, took them to the dog park, etc. Since I just moved to the Arlington area, I’m hoping to find some great new clients.
Reviews
This was the second time we've used Caroline's services and it was great! Highly recommended!
Caroline was awesome! She took care of a our pup for a couple of days when we were out of town. Communication was easy and she sent us plenty of updates. Will definitely use her services again!
Caroline was wonderful! Great care for a week. Sent photos daily.
Caroline has pet sat for us on several occasions over the last couple of years. She is mature and very responsible about her duties caring for your beloved pets. She loves animals and is very attentive. She spends time playing with them so they get enough activity as well as snuggles. She will send you photos so you know your babies are having fun. I highly recommend Caroline. She is a very caring dog sitter!

Safety, trust & environment
I can crate a dog and create a comfortable environment in your home. One of my previous clients used to need cartoons and a kong before I left everyday and I was happy to do it.

Information Caroline M. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know the dog or cat’s temperament and physical abilities. I have experience with old dogs. One of my family dogs is just old and has weak hips so I know what that's like! She needs her rest and can’t always keep up with her brother and sister. I have experience with snappy dogs as well and dogs who do not like other dogs. I have walked a dog on a gentle lead who had been traumatized by an attack years earlier.
A typical day
I love to go to the dog park or just walk in our neighborhood. I’m new to the area as well so I’m excited to explore new places with clients.
