Dog lover without a dog
Pet care experience
I am responsible, organized, and clear in my communications. In addition to ensuring your dog has a great time exploring places such as parks, I can provide you with updates and will take a few photographs of your pal for you while we are out and about. I understand that many people work hard to make sure their dog has a healthy diet and clear rules, and I will work with you to keep those standards while you are not around. While watching a friend's 13-year-old boxer mix for a weekend, I realized how great of an absence I have in my life without a dog. While growing up, many of my close friends had dogs who I helped out with from time to time (I've written my experience as two years, as my responsibilities while younger were very infrequent). I currently don't have the space for a dog of my own, and as such I look forward to the opportunity to help out more people take care of their dogs!
Reviews
I am very picky when it come to my girls... Caroline was patient and kind and flexible. I appreciated that when I got home that Caroline was still there spending time with my dogs and not in a rush to leave. If my dogs are happy... I am too!!!
Carly (Caroline) has dog sat for me doing overnight stays (5 days at a time) with my dog Maddie. Maddie is an older dog full of energy but requires more potty breaks and takes multiple medicine twice a day. Carly was amazing with her - she took extra special care of her and made sure she got lots of potty breaks, walks, loves, and her medicine on time. Maddie loves Carly. I would recommend Carly to watch, walk or just sit around with the doggies and cats any time.

Information Caroline S. would like to know about your pet
- Energy-level (to plan length and activity level of walks) - Should I keep your dog shielded from adults, children, or other dogs while out walking? Does you dog enjoy dog parks? - Can your dog go off-lease in designated public areas to play games such as catch? - Are there any mental exercises/games I should do with your dog in addition to any walks? - Does your dog have a strict schedule for food/medication/walks/bathroom breaks? A loose schedule? - Does your dog have food restrictions? Are you trying to limit the amount of treats your dog gets?
A typical day
Location dependent - I would love to take your dog for longer walks in some of Chicago's larger parks, and possibly down to the lake.
