Full-Time Reliable Sitter 🐈🐶❤️
Hi! I’m Caroline, an honest, reliable and dependable full-time pet sitter/ dog walker. I love cats and dogs and meeting new people. I offer pet visits, dog walks, care in your home and overnight stays with pets in their own environments. I cover some areas of East Irvine, along the I405, Lake Forest, Laguna Woods, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. I am Latina, originally from Colombia and moved here from England where I lived for almost 20 years. I speak both English and Spanish. I truly enjoy the therapeutic company of furry friends. Throughout my life, I have owned and cared for cats and dogs of various sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I don’t have a pet at the moment and miss having that in my life, so I truly value the time I get to spend with your babies. I am reliable, trustworthy, and committed to providing the best possible care for your furry friend. I will also treat your property with the utmost respect. As an active person, I enjoy taking walks, playing with your pets, and providing them with the love and attention they deserve. I understand that leaving your fur baby behind can be stressful and heart breaking, which is why I am committed to providing the best care possible. My ultimate goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away, so you can relax and enjoy your break. Typical activities I can do while you're away: • Wash the food and water bowls daily • Check/ refill automatic feeders and water fountains • Feed your pet as per your instructions (dry, wet or raw food) • Play with your pet(s) with their favorite toys and activities (feather toys, balls, wands, catch, run, etc) • Go outside for walks/ stroller walks as per instructions • Cleaning messes between visits/ replacing pee pads/ picking up poop • Scooping all litter boxes or emptying out the litter robot waste drawer • Cleaning up any pee/poop accidents, hairballs or vomit • Vacuuming excess hair or sand from the floor • Take and share photos or videos of your cats each visit to let you know how they're doing! For pets who need supplements and medication I can: • Give oral medication (liquid with a syringe or pills (pill pockets, pill popper or directly for more cooperative pets) • Give vitamins (tablets or drops) or dental health treats • Mix supplements into cats/dogs food with specific instructions • Applying ear medications /ointments/ topical flea treatment as per instructions I can also: • Water your plants, open/close curtains and switch on/off lights on a schedule • Bringing in packages and mail *Please note: If you have additional pets that need to be cared for, fed and be cleaned after during my visit (birds, pet reptiles, chinchillas, Guinea pigs, bunnies, turtles, fish, etc) please add them as an additional cat/dog in your request. If I don’t need to do much for them like just adding food to a fish or frog tank, or just check that they are ok, there is no need. If in doubt, please check with me. Thank you for considering me for your pet sitting needs. I am excited to meet your furry friend and provide them with the care they deserve.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter I understand the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment for your furry friend. I prioritize your pet's safety and well-being by taking necessary precautions such as ensuring doors and windows are secured and avoiding any hazards in the home. When taking your pet outside for walks, I monitor the surroundings for potential safety issues or odd behaviors from children, people, other animals or vehicles. I am very aware of the effects different weather conditions might have on the pet I am caring for and plan for this accordingly. I am also vigilant about monitoring your pet's behavior and well-being, including any signs of illness or discomfort, to ensure they stay happy and healthy during their time in my care.

Caroline was easy to work with, responsible, and she took great care of our baby, Mango!
Caroline was great, posted lots of pictures and videos. Luna really liked her.
Caroline was wonderful!! She took such great care of our two kitties, who are our everything, while we were away. She is very attentive and sends great photos and videos that I always loved receiving!! She played so much with them and we could tell they were in great hands and happy. Definitely put my mind at ease. She also left our home in great shape, like she was never there! We recommend Caroline to watch your fur babies!!

Schedule
Pet care is my full-time job and fits seamlessly into my daily routine. This is my main job. I work around my son’s school hours. PLEASE NOTE that sometimes I might have to bring him with me if school is out or during special holidays when there is no childcare available. He’s a very respectful and well behaved 5 years old who knows how to behave around animals and is very careful with them. I will let him interact with your pets as much or as little as you allow. I have included many pictures of him during our visits so you can see that he can interact but is also equally happy to sit at the door and stare at his iPad! If this is a problem, please let me know and we can discuss whether this is likely to be an issue during the times you need me.
