Animal Lover to Your Rescue!
Pet care experience
I've lived with dogs and cats my entire life, worked for two veterinarians, and believe ALL animals have the right to be treated with respect, dignity, and kindness. I am dependable and trustworthy and will treat your animals with loving care.
Reviews
A saint and an angel. We don’t deserve her kindness and love!
Caroline stayed with her commitment to do a drop-in visit even after she realized the travel distance was further than she preferred. She sent photos, noted on my list tasks completed, checked the cat litter, fed and played with my young cat over the 30-minute visit. I arrived home after a 12-hour absence to a very happy cat! Thank you, Caroline!
Caroline went above and beyond for our parrot, Chapo. She cleaned his cage, too, which we didn't even ask her to do!
Mouse was well taken care of while I was away! I didn’t have to worry at all. He was fed on time and all his medications were given with care. Would book again.

Safety, trust & environment
I currently reside with a dog and two cats and they are our babies. Safe and loving pet care is a routine part of my life. Safety to me means that animals are never walked off-leash and always provided the right protection from the elements. And by loving care I mean that the needs of animals are first and foremost: providing fresh food and water, clean bowls and potty places, and giving lots of kisses, cuddles, and praise is very important.
Information Caroline V. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors so that I may attend to them properly. I would also like to know their favorite toys, where they like to be pet, and things that might frighten them (so I can avoid doing that!). It's important to me that they have a safe, fun, and positive experience.
A typical day
For drop-in visits with all animals, I usually take care of business at the top and then use the remainder of the visit playing and/or cuddling. When I walk pups, I enjoy going at their pace. I believe it is their time, and if they want to go slowly in order to smell all the smells, that's great. If they want to run and play, I'm down for that as well!
