I am currently working per diem with a very flexible schedule, and hoping to dedicate my focus to doing something I love, caring for animals! I have a relatively open schedule at this time, and hope to fill the calendar with spending time with your dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

My pets are my babies! I have a fenced in yard, with a dog door to access it. It does close, and can be kept closed during the day if needed as my dogs are extremely well trained, and also have the option to access to my home office (a separate building in the back yard) if needed. They have full range and free access to the downstairs, except we discourage them being in the kitchen. Our dogs are kept from the upstairs by a secured baby gate. They are allowed up there, just usually attended because the puppy sometimes confuses her human sisters toys for her own! We have a large property with a trail that we take our dogs up to, and also live very close to several hiking trails that we frequent. One of our dogs had to retire from long walks and hikes, so he stays home now, but he still loves a good car ride and a short easy walk!

Information Caroline S. would like to know about your pet

If I am watching your baby at my house, please let me know if your dog is familiar with cats, depending on the dog it is not a dealbreaker. Also please let me know about any special needs or specific schedule, for although I can be pretty flexible, there are certain days/times I may not be able to accommodate.

A typical day

I love to explore old and new places! We have a trail on our property we like to walk, and a fenced in yard for play. Sometimes we go to the dog park or for a hike! But we also enjoy having a good lazy day!

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover here to help! I grew up with animals, and have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I also owned ducks and chickens for several the years. I have many years experience with a variety of medical issues pertaining to dogs and cats, including allergies and epilepsy. I also have years of experience in dog and puppy training (not professionally), including adopting my own puppy 2 years ago. That same puppy is now approved and undergoing training to be a psychiatric service dog. My other 2 dogs are also well trained. Although we’re happy to take it easy, we also love to hike and would be happy to take your dog along!

Caroline has been an awesome dog walker and always takes great care of my dog Lolo! He always seems so happy when I come home at the end of the day. One time, she went out of her way to bring him some food after the walk session is finished when she noticed that my dog food ran out and she didn’t want him to starve. My baby is so lucky to have her! I’ll continue to trust her with my fur baby. Thank you so much :)

Caroline is an excellent pet sitter! She’s reliable, kind, and sends lots of pictures/videos. It’s so nice to have piece of mind that my babies are taken care of while I’m away ❤️
