Pet care experience

Pets Are Family! 🥰

I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small mammals. This has helped me develop a calm, attentive, and adaptable approach to pet care in different home environments. I have 20 years of professional pet care experience, including managing a pet sitting and grooming business. I now operate my own solo pet care business from my home in Pflugerville. My Care Style 🐾 I focus on providing calm, structured, and individualized care so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s established routine as closely as possible and prioritize consistency, reassurance, and gentle handling. I am experienced in caring for pets with a variety of needs and energy levels, and I adjust my approach based on each animal’s personality and comfort level. About My Home 🏡 My home is clean, peaceful, and smoke-free. I use environmentally friendly cleaning products whenever possible. Pets have access to a fenced backyard for safe, supervised outdoor time. My cat Noelle is social and accustomed to being around dogs, helping maintain a calm and pet-friendly environment 🐱

Caroline did a great job with our two dogs and we'd definitely use her again! We also appreciated the photo updates, flexibility when we requested adjusting our pick up date and great communication. Thanks Caroline!

Caroline was great! She showed up on time and sent some really lovely pics of our pups. I felt so much better knowing they weren't cooped up in the house all day, and I had a responsible person there to look after them.

Caroline was a perfect fit for our dogs! It was obvious from the start that she has a special talent for working with furry friends, and that they trusted her immediately. Dogs were fed, got a potty and outside break, and a visit with some scritches and sweet talk. Caroline sent pics to reassure us that everyone was comfortable, happy, and having a good time. Highly recommended!

Caroline has taken care of my dog and cats on numerous occasions, and is very dependable and trustworthy. She is an animal lover! I highly recommend her services.

I have been extremely satisfied with Caroline's care of Boo since I found her on Rover. I often have to go out of town on the weekend at the last moment and Caroline has been available to watch my little one in her home. Boo loves to play with her chihuahua and they are best buds now. I must say Boo is so happy when I drop him off with Caroline and I know that he is being very well taken care of while I am out of town. She remembers to send me cute pictures of my baby while I'm away which I really appreciate. Caroline also provides anesthesia free teeth cleaning which I have found to be a real life saver for my dog and highly recommend to anyone looking for a smart alternative. I don't know what I would do without her services! Thank you!!
