Caring, experienced pet lover!

Pet care experience

Animals are my passion! I formerly worked on/volunteered on a farm back home in Asheville, North Carolina where I took care of a variety of animals with different needs, both big and small! I have a Golden Retriever named Rosie who I have professionally trained and raised since she was a puppy and is the love of my life. I have a 3 cats of my own, 2 named Chino and Pixie and a new kitten named Stella! Chino and Pixie, who I've cared for the past year. I also had a cat back at my parents house named Libby who I cared for 6 years. I have experience caring for horses, dogs, cats, goats, sheep, chickens, pigs, birds, rodents, and birds of all sizes and ages. I have a passion for animals and my goal is that you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands! I am so happy I get the opportunity to do something I love to pay for college! I've pet sat before but recently learned about Rover and can't wait to get to know you and your pets!

Caroline is only receiving a one star rating because the first night she did not stay with our dogs. The rest of the 6 days the dogs were alone most of the time. Our younger dog was crated anywhere from 7-12 hours at a time. Our request was no more than 5 hours alone, with the expectation that then she would spent time with them. Our older dog had quite a few accidents in the house, which hasn’t happened in over 10 years. One day our younger dog was crated from 7am-8:45pm with only a 10 min potty break. Both dogs were dehydrated when we got home. None of our mail was brought in and our mailbox was packed. I was not made aware of Caroline’s daily schedule and lack of daily availability prior to our booking.

Caroline has been an excellent sitter for my three dogs. Incredibly reliable and so kind. Unfortunately, this was our last time with Caroline for to us moving and I wish we could bring her with. You won't be disappointed by choosing Caroline to care for your fur babies.

Caroline was perfect for our nervous pup - she came over for a meet-and-greet the night before boarding and was patient while our dog warm up. We got some great pics from Caroline showing how comfy and happy our dog was while staying with her. We will definitely contact Caroline again!

She was great! Helped out with short notice, met with me and the dogs prior to the sitting, and sent photos/updates!

Safety, trust & environment

If you were to hire me, I'd do all the feeding, grooming, walking, and caring for your pet. For dog walking, you can tell me if there is a certain distance or time you'd want me to walk your pet. For example, a mile or for an hour. I'd meet you wherever you request and I'd return your pet at any location you tell me. For drop-ins, I'd show up at any times you have requested or if there are no specifics, I'd check in on your pet 2 or 3 times a day around breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I make safety my first priority, so for walking I use leashes unless you specify otherwise. I also love to pet, play and engage with the animals, by playing fetch or other games. When I drop in, I'll make sure to feed your pet and take them out a little while after to use the restroom and clean up, as well as check to make sure there are no accidents in the house. I'll do a scan to make sure there are no hazards like wires or toxic foods or small items that could be eaten. I'll lock up the house when I leave for security. If there are any other specific requests you have or if your pet has a medical condition or an allergy, please let me know! I'm willing to do anything else that would make you feel more comfortable leaving your pet in my care.
