Information Caroline R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of so that I can take the best possible care of your pup!

A typical day

I love to play with dogs and take them on walks around the neighborhood for them to explore all the fun new scents! Trips to the park are always fun, and stimulating pups mentally and physically is super important!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs (puppies to seniors) since I was 9, and have loved all my other pets (birds, hamsters, bunnies, etc.) for even longer. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, love, and take care of their pets. I am here to meet all your pet care needs, so please reach out to me with any questions! For me, home is where the dog is! ❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule and work from home a lot. Walks and playtime will be endless! I am available any time your pet needs or wants some extra love! I have a large 2B2B + den apartment and lots of walking space in the greenery with many nearby trails and parks! I can crate your dog if needed. Potty breaks will be often, and love for your pet will be endless!

Caroline was absolutely amazing! She was so kind, thoughtful, and communicative. She treated my puppy as if he were her own. She sent regular pics and updates and even celebrated his birthday with special treats and a candle. My dog had a total blast with her and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation knowing he was in wonderful hands. I enthusiastically recommend her.
