Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional and Experienced Fun!
Long fur or no fur, feathers or scales- I love them all! No pet is too big or too strange for me to care for. With over ten years of professional experience in the dog world, I can help out most anyone looking for boarding or training! I am a professional dog trainer who has been apart of the Rover team for many years. I have a passion for helping owners and their pups, whether through providing a safe place for them to stay while you're away, training and behavior education, all the way to helping long-time clients pick out their new family member! With a six-foot privacy fence and and a backyard dedicated to the dogs, there is plenty of room for rough-housing, games of fetch, splashing in a sprinkler, or lounging in the sun. Puppy blues? No problem! Unlike most, I have years of experience raising and training puppies from all walks of life. Crate training, potty training, nipping, jumping, you name it and I have trained it! Puppies are my absolute favorite and I do NOT charge extra for their special care. As long as they are up-to-date on their vaccines they are a welcomed guest! I do prefer to use crates for all dogs in the home, so if your pup is already crate trained- awesome! If not, no problem. I would be happy to offer a trial day for your pup to see how they may do when crated, as well as to get to know them and build their comfort and familiarity with my pups and myself. I tend to welcome only one or two guests at a time, if you're hesitant about your pup being in play-groups or staying in a home with multiple dogs, as I have my own, feel free to be open about your expectations with me! I want you, and your pup, to feel comfortable and heard. The last thing I want is for expectations to not be met, or have you feel any uncertainty at all. Our home is dog-oriented, active, and always playing and having fun, but if you're looking for something a little more quiet or lowkey, that is always fine and I am happy to talk through it. Please let me know if you have any questions, and if you want to reach out and set up a stay, do not hesitate!

Ratings and reviews
Caroline was absolutely wonderful. Jaxx enjoyed his time. She seemed to connect with him. Her training and Vet background is exactly what we were looking for in a care giver to Jaxx.
Caroline was wonderful with Gizmo and kept me informed about his progress with her Training Club Friends. I highly recommend her for doggie day care, boarding, and training for your beloved fur baby. Gizmo enjoyed her so much that he didn't want to leave her side. We will be trusting her with Gizmo in the future. Thank you Caroline! I'm so glad we have you in our lives :-)
Caroline took great care of Echo! She was super communicative and did a great job of sending updates with pictures! We would absolutely have Echo stay with her again!
Caroline was incredible with Quincee and we will definitely be calling her again! She was kind to send updates and even a video and also complimented Quincee on her behavior and personality. We felt so safe and comfortable while we were away. Thank you, Caroline!

Schedule
Our day starts with potty breaks and play time for every pup in the home, even if it is just mine! We like to roll out of bed between 6:30-7am, but some guests like to sleep in, and that's okay! Once everyone has pottied and had their morning-zoomies (dog coffee!) it is breakfast time with a short break while I get coffee! I am cautious about upset tummies, and especially bloat. Meals are always followed by 30-60 minute breaks in the crate or living room. Once everyone has had time for their food to digest, we go out for play and potty time, this is when the fun and activities can really begin. We spend the rest of the day playing, doing activities like fetch, playing in sprinklers, wearing funny hats, and photo shoot time! For the most part, we spend a few hours playing, doing activities, hanging out, then nap in or out of their crate for 30-60 mins, then back to play time! Over the years I have found that this schedule keeps everyone exercised and happy without causing stress from over-excitement, or injuries from being too worn out. I want your best friend to be tired, but not exhausted! In the evening we feed dinner and everyone gets to nap in their crate for a bit, then we get to go out for potty time and have one last, big play/hang out session inside! Around 10-11 we go out for the last potty break, and everyone gets to go to bed after a long, fun-filled day, ready to do it again the next!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat all pups like my own. I have a passion for helping dogs find what they truly enjoy, whether that be "herding" toys, fetching balls, napping on the couch, or watching me eat dinner! I want all dogs to be fulfilled, getting to do what they desire, within reason! Safety is my number one priority. As much as I want to have all dogs, including my own, run free 24/7, it scares me to know there are so many preventable mistakes that could happen. Crates, fences, and leashes will always be in my life, my own pups' lives, and all of my guests in the future!
Pets
A typical day
Play time, movie time, fetch, tug, cuddling, photo shoots, rough housing, napping, any activity you can think of your pup may enjoy, I am happy to try out, or I already do it daily! I keep our days fun, activity filled, and safe.
