Pet care experience
Where Dogs Feel Safe & Understood
I believe exceptional pet care starts with understanding the dog in front of you—not treating every dog the same. My goal is to create a calm, structured home where your dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely enjoys their stay. Every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their personality, routines, communication style, and comfort needs. Whether they’re playful and outgoing, shy and observant, or simply adjusting to a new environment, I adapt my care to meet them where they are. Caring for dogs has been part of my life for over 28 years, but what truly shaped my approach was fostering and working with dogs who each needed something different. I’ve learned that good care isn’t about following the same routine for every dog—it’s about observing, listening, and responding to the individual in front of you. During their stay, your dog becomes part of our daily rhythm. We balance supervised play, enrichment, rest, outdoor time, and plenty of affection. My own dog, Winter, loves welcoming compatible playmates, and I carefully supervise introductions and interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. Every dog adjusts differently to a new environment. Most settle in quickly, while others need additional one-on-one support, enrichment, or supervision to feel comfortable. If I determine that a dog requires a significantly higher level of individualized care than expected, I’ll discuss it with you before making any adjustments to the booking. My goal is always to be transparent so we can provide the best possible experience for both you and your dog.

Ratings and reviews
Caroline was wonderful. She was caring and attentive. A wonderful experience.
What a wonderful experience for Wally and me with Caroline watching him! He did not want to come home! She is a loving dog mom herself and sent me lots of photos while he stayed with her – he was smiling in all of them. Cannot recommend Caroline highly enough.
Caroline is an incredible, warm hearted and lovely individual. She lives an active lifestyle and will undoubtably give attention and amazing care to any pups that come her way. Highly recommend having Caroline take care of your pup, she will treat them like her own family.
Caroline is fabulous! She has watched our senior dog several times and has consistently done an amazing job. She followed our instructions regarding food, walks, and meds perfectly and was super communicative, providing regular updates and photos. She treats our pet like he’s her own and when we need a sitter, I can relax and feel comfortable knowing he’s being cared for by Caroline!
I know Caroline would be an excellent pet caregiver based on how responsible and loving she is with her own dog, Winter. As an owner, Caroline understands the importance of patience and consistency in training to give Winter the best life possible. She treats her as a member of her family, showering her with plenty of love, attention, and exercise. Caroline is a calm presence and would make any animal in her care feel immediately comfortable.
Hands down best sitter to date. Caroline cares for my pup Ollie when I travel. I really appreciate that she keeps me updated with regular check-ins and photos/videos. Her commitment to transparency is incredibly reassuring. Ollie takes daily medication and has very specific needs, which makes me apprehensive leaving him with just anyone. I have immense peace of mind when he is under her care, and know I can count on Caroline.

Schedule
I’m home all day and can be very flexible with schedules, feeding times, walks, and routines. This allows me to give each pet plenty of attention, enrichment, and reassurance throughout the day so they always feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your peace of mind and your pet’s safety and emotional wellbeing always come first. For this reason I send daily updates with photos/video so you can be at ease knowing your baby is being well taken care of. When caring for pets in my space, I have a fully fenced yard and a built in playmate. I do very slow, supervised introductions with my own dog, Winny, who is a very playful, happy girl. If either dog prefers space, I can easily accommodate comfortably separating the pups as needed both indoor and outdoors.

A typical day
I am a very active and involved pet sitter. Keeping dogs mentally stimulated throughout the day is a very important key to keeping them at ease, especially while they’re in a new environment. I use positive reinforcement training techniques to build trust and keep them engaged
