Double the Love for Your Pup!
Pet care experience
Hey pet parents and fluffy friends, thanks for checking us out! By day I work from home full time, and by night I work for you! No capes or utility belts needed, I come fully functional with an enthusiastic attitude and intrinsic love for every animal as if it were my own! While I do share a few key features with Batman, having a love for dark aesthetics and tight pants, I consider myself more of a Cat-man with three lovely boys of my own. Do we spend every waking hour tending to animals? Absolutely. Will we adore yours just the same? You bet. I worked with a no-kill non-profit shelter for years caring for animals of all different medical and behavioral needs, and now I work for myself, mostly online and 100% at home. I miss working with animals, so I’ve been working with Rover since 2018! My partner Bel and I live together in our 2,500sqft house, so you get two sitters for the price of one, and your pup gets tons of space! We also have a fenced in backyard for quick potty breaks, and we walk around our neighborhood at least once a day whether we have a dog with us or not :) So tell your dog to come ready to exercise! What can you expect from me? A totally painless meet n’ greet with both of us. After that we’ll be showering your loved one with baby talk and attention, just before carrying out your detailed list of directions. I’ll send one or two updates during the day with (possibly too many) photos of your pet and a description of how our time together was spent from my human perspective. It can be tough to leave your forever friend, and I promise they will miss you so much, but never fear, we are here! A little about us: -I was a behaviorist for my previous shelter, so if your animal has any behavior needs, please feel comfortable letting us know :) I’ve seen it all. -We have a car which is great for emergencies, pick-ups and drop-offs if necessary, and trips to the park! -Nosotras hablamos español -We’re Queer Friendly and accepting of all clients 🌈 -Our cat’s names are Koko, Mish Mish, and Apple Jacks. The first two are Persians and my all black attire will always be covered in the evidence! -I’m an ebb and flow type so if you’ve ever got an issue or a plan change or anything, just let me know and I’ll accommodate.
Reviews
Caroline did a fantastic job with our Rudy. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you for your caring, patience and all the updates.
Very patient with my anxious boy, kept me updated on how Leo was doing throughout the day. Will definitely bring him back!
Caroline and Bel took amazing care of Ringo who has a lot of energy. They took him out several times and even took him running. He was nice and tired when we got home. Very nice couple; easy to work with.
Seemed like a good sitter. Said she could help me the weekend of oct 8-11 for over nights. All I wanted to do was book my dog a few times for day care before the weekend stay. I got to book once and tho it went well, when I followed up the next week I was told she was too booked when just last week I was told it would be ok to book like this. They are still ok with the weekend tho of course. Question is… is my pup? And if they are that fast to book, will my pup really be in good hands? Money talks that fast unfortunately. So if you’re making future plans and want to get your dog warmed up before you just leave it somewhere new for 4 days. I’d consider this review. I was expecting more compassion unfortunately.

Information Caroline S. would like to know about your pet
-Does your pup have any unique physical or psychological needs? (Allergies, seizures, anxiety, etc.) -Are there any general preferences you or your dog have that you think I should know? (Favorite Toy, Snack, etc?) -What’s your pet’s history with people and other animals, (not every animal likes everyone, and that’s okay, it’s helpful to know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly. We’re more than willing to make accommodations.)
A typical day
We like to work outside in the backyard on nice days, so we may be lounging in the yard or on the deck together. If your puppy is sleeping over, they’re more than welcome to sleep in our giant bed with us- no furniture is off limits!
