The cat lady of Rover!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Caroline and, simply put, I love dogs and I love cats. Animals are the most special and warm creations to walk the planet, and I feel passionately about giving love to them just as they give love to us. Animals can change an entire home. They add warmth, love and personality in ways nothing else can. But I'm sure, as the pet owner you are, I don't need to tell you that because you already know. Instead, let me tell me about myself and my experience working with pets, so you can be sure you're leaving them in the best hands possible. Growing up, my household always contained at least one animal, and my chores always included making sure they were taken care of. Animal care has been apart of my entire life. Whether it was taking my massive Sheepadoodle named Boo out for a walk (or rather, him taking me for a walk ((I was 8))), or cleaning my cats liter trays and putting on their flea medications, or making chicken broth ice cubes for Boo after playing fetch in the yard with him in the Texas heat, I did everything possible to make sure my animals were happy and healthy. In addition to this, I've been the neighborhood pet sitter for as long as I could ride a bike. Taking dogs on walks, playing with them, or visiting them during thunderstorms have been weekly occurrences for as long as I can remember. As someone with a lifetime of pet care, I can assure you that I have the experience and passion to make sure your animals receive the best care possible in any way I can. I am always open to customizing pet's daily routines any way you see fit. Feel free to reach out with any questions or anything at all you'd like to learn more about. Thanks for reading! Hope to hear from you.

Caroline was everything we could hope for in a sitter. We moved across the country in March and didn’t know or trust anyone well enough to watch our cats while we visited home in July… we are so grateful to Caroline for her communicativeness, understanding, flexibility, and attentiveness to each of our three cats’ individual needs. Now, she is our first choice for a sitter without a doubt.

Caroline was great! She sent me pictures and updates on my sweet Binx. I could tell he really enjoyed having her there and it gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her :)

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that letting a relative stranger into your home, especially while you are away requires a great deal of trust and I in no way take that lightly. The safety of your pet(s) and your home is paramount to me, and if you have any specific requests for the health/safety of your animals I am more than happy to accommodate. I have 6+ years of experience administering medication to animals anywhere from pills and powders to insulin injections and inhalers. For clients that are away for long periods of time I make sure to turn on/off random lights, take in mail & packages, and manage the trash to ensure your home appears occupied to any passerby's. I am experienced with most home security systems and always make sure all doors and windows are locked before leaving, and be sure to communicate any concerns that may arise while you are away.

Information Caroline P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any health conditions, behavioral problems, or other issues that may require special attention and care while I'm looking after them.

A typical day

It really depends on the dog or animal, I tend to match the energy of whoever I have the pleasure of watching. If a dog obviously needs to run or get some energy out, I'm more than happy to take the time to make sure they are exhausted when they get home and rest easy. But if a dog needs cuddles or lots of love and pets or suffers from separation anxiety, I'm also eager to give them that love and care if that's what they need.
