Caring, Experienced Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
Hi there! I have 10+ years of experience pet sitting and dog walking and I would love the opportunity to take care of your pet(s)! I am happy to watch dogs, cats, birds, fish, and other small pets. Whether you need someone to drop in once a day to feed your cat, or a sitter to watch your special pup over a weekend, I am here to help! I have worked with a variety of breeds of dogs of all ages, including puppies as young as 7 weeks and dogs as old as 17. I am willing to provide your dog with any needed medications, both orally and shots (I have experience in the past with diabetic dogs). I am also happy to keep up with any training that the owner has been working on. In my day-to-day life, I am a CPA working in the software industry. I work fully remotely permanently; because I can work from anywhere, I have a great deal of flexibility. I can drop in and visit your dog, and I am also happy to do my work at your home and keep your pet company throughout the day! This may be beneficial for dogs that get lonely, or need frequent potty breaks. With enough notice, I can work around your needs. At your home, will do my best to keep up whatever routine your pet(s) are familiar with. This may include cuddles on the couch, or supervised playtime in the backyard. I am an active person and also down for many walks! If your dog is social, I’m willing to let them hang out with their friends. If not, we can always play from home. If doing boarding/daycare in my home, please be aware the dog must be dog friendly as I do have two 40lb dogs of my own. This generally works out well, as (once they get to know each other) they generally play with each other and tire each other out :) Due to my work from home schedule, I will be there most of the time, and all interactions will be supervised. For boarding/daycare, I do request that your dog be up to date on shots and heartworm/flea preventative.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust is important to me. For pets staying at my own home, I welcome you to see where your dog will be staying during our meet and greet. Our house has a fenced in backyard where the dogs love to spend time playing chase during the day and sun in the summertime. Inside the house, we let our pets roam free, although I generally like to have guests in the same room as me. We don’t mind having our furry friends hang out on the bed or couch either 😊 We currently watch dogs for only one family at a time (although we have done more in the past, we have found this is too much- we now like to focus on only one pet at a time). On the occasions that the pets must be left home alone, we separate them.
Information Caroline W. would like to know about your pet
I will watch all breeds, but I do prefer to meet the pet before sitting him or her the first time. At our first meeting, we’ll go over eating schedules, potty schedules, and any special quirks or behavioral/physical needs your dog may have. I want to understand each one as an individual and tailor its care to its specific needs. I want your pet to feel happy and safe when they are with me!
A typical day
I love to spend time outside! We’ll go outside for plenty of walks and outdoor adventure time. We’ll share lots of pictures and updates during your time away. As a dog mom myself, I understand how fun it is to get little updates during a trip :)

Availability
I work from home and my schedule is quite flexible; am able to easily drop-in on your pet during the day. For pets that are staying at my home, this means that I am able to be available for frequent potty breaks and petting sessions!
