Information Caroline S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your pup's temperament and any quirky habits they may have so I can adjust accordingly. For instance, do they prefer napping alone, in the sun, or a cool spot on the floor. I love to hold and pet them, but if they prefer the floor or to be alone, I don't want to impose. It's also helpful to know things like: ** any allergies or treat preferences? ** do they give specific signals when they need to go potty (sit by the door, circle the floor, bark at the door/window) ** do they like to have company while they eat or will they eat unattended? **do they like to play or quiet time with a few chew toys? ** are they afraid of storms / thunder noises? ** will they chase squirrels or birds on a walk? Every pet is unique so letting me know as many unique details as possible will keep their routines as seamless as possible.

A typical day

Walks - Where you would normally take them. Any fun activity that your pup would enjoy - throwing a ball outside, playing with their favorite toy..

Pet care experience

I had lost my Shih Tzu of 12 years in May ‘22. She was my best friend that fought so hard against a brain tumor. I have years of experience with elderly dogs and giving medication. I currently have a ten year old Lhasa Apso who misses her sister tremendously. We are figuring out our lives moving forward but sweet Ireland will always be in our hearts. My husband mentioned for me to sign up on here so I can help and take care of other dogs who need the same love and attention that I give to our girls. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to meet to see if we would be a great fit. Caroline

Truly superb!! I have an older, nervous, rescued toy poodle. He had a wonderful stay and came home “happy tired” from playing with buddies, not nervous/exhausted as from some other setups. My pup also looked and smelled fresh/well kept. Many video check ins & notes about how he was doing. Highly recommend!

Caroline did an awesome job with both my dogs again. It’s such a relief to know that she will always take such good care of my dogs while I’m away. She is the best

Finding a new dog sitter is always nerve wracking, but we have found a new “dog vacation” spot for our pups! Caroline was so welcoming and you can tell that she really cares about the wellbeing of the dogs. Great communication and pictures. We will be back 😊

Caroline is super sweet! She is responsive, communicates effectively, sends regular pics and updates, and has the perfect setup for dogs. Our dog was very happy staying with her, which is really the ultimate test!
