I just graduated from being student-athlete at Stanford and am now working hybrid in Richmond. I have no issue with waking up early and or staying up late to care for your loved pet. I am interested in dog sitting in your home and providing dog walks/drop-ins as needed! I can also do some boarding and day cares .

Information Caroline R. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I love all animals & will be ecstatic to hang out with your beloved baby! How do they get along with other dogs/cats? Any walking triggers?

A typical day

I love to walk and run! You can expect me to take your dog out frequently for exercise or simply play in the backyard with their favorite toy. If you’ll allow me, I would love taking your dog out to a beautiful walking spot to help them be stimulated in an unfamiliar, gorgeous area.

Pet care experience

I have been fostering dogs and cats for about 7 years now and recently started working at Richmond Animal League as a dog care and enrichment specialist. Ranging from pairs of puppies to pit-bulls to litters of kittens to severely anxious dogs, I have taken care of them all. I understand that not all dogs are going to be the stereotypical dog, and I am prepared for any type of pet. I’m able to manage various behavioral and medical issues and provide basic assistance in these areas (oral medication, eye ointment, injections). I also train puppies - leash training, potty training, crate training, basic obedience, and basic tricks — and have worked with dog-reactive and anxious adult dogs. If you need me to help with training, I would be more than happy to help! Please keep in mind I am not a certified trainer. *for awareness: I work at my local shelter from 3pm-8pm on Thursdays and 8am-3pm on Saturdays. If you choose to book with me, please note that I will be away for these hours. *I have a 3 year old cat who loves dogs. If your baby loves cats & is respectful, please consider booking a stay with me. It would be great for them to meet and become friends!
