Paws-itively the Best Dog Care 🐾
Pet care experience
I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, thanks to my dad being a military dog handler. From an early age, I learned the importance of structure, trust, and attentive care. I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience. I'm comfortable giving medications, managing multiple pets, and adapting to each pet's unique needs and routine. Whether your dog is big, small, shy, or high-energy, I’m confident, calm, and always focused on safety, comfort, and fun!
Cat care experience
Caroline also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Caroline helped us watch Jj with short notice. She was very professional, worked with us when we were a little unorganized, and generally impressed us with her willingness to meet our needs. We highly recommend her.
Caroline has been amazing with our pets. Having 3 dogs,2 cats, a bird and rabbit,she has had experience with a vast array of animals. Extremely responsible and caring towards them and has great communication with updates. I highly recommend her to care for your furbabies
Caroline is the ultimate animal lover. She has been raised with dogs and cats and has been taught from an early age the proper care and recognizing the needs of pets under her care. She is meticulous in the care of pets and knows family pets are more than just ordinary animals, but a family member and treats them as such.
Caroline did a fantastic job caring for my three furry family members! She was so loving and made sure every single need was met. She did a fantastic job communicating with us about our pups!
About Caroline S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. At your home, I respect your space and routines to keep pets relaxed and stress-free. I also will clean up if staying over the weekend! Open communication with you ensures your pet’s needs are fully met and you feel confident leaving them in my care.
Information Caroline S. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your dog, I like to know as much as possible to give them the best experience! Please let me know about their daily routine, energy level, favorite activities, and any behavioral quirks. It’s also important to know if they have any medical needs, allergies, dietary restrictions, or medications. I always ask how they do on walks, around other dogs or people, and if they have any fears or triggers (like thunderstorms or loud noises). The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away!
A typical day
A typical day with me is full of care, play, and companionship tailored to your dog’s needs. We’ll start the morning with a refreshing walk to stretch their legs and get some fresh air, followed by breakfast and some interactive play—whether that’s fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys for mental stimulation. Throughout the day, I make sure your pup stays active, happy, and on their usual schedule with potty breaks, cuddle time, and plenty of love. If your dog enjoys being social, we may head to a dog park or go on an adventure walk (with your permission). In the evening, we wind down with another walk and quiet time, keeping your pet relaxed, loved, and feeling right at home.
