Experienced and Careful Pet Handler
Pet care experience
I have worked for the app wag and recieved hundreds of 5 star reviews for 3 years. I worked at Petco for 2 years where I learned so much and became a pet expert. I did trainings on pet nutrition, care and dog training. I also have experience with owning my own multitude of animals over the years! We have two pitbull mixes and a cat in my current household. In my career I work in customer service and am a manager of a spa in downtown Chicago. Ever since I was a little kid I was the resident animal lover in my household and always put in charge of taking care of our pets. I love animals and am dedicated to their care, health and safety. I have experience with dog breeds from tiny chihuahuas to giant great danes. I am experienced in all different types of harnesses, foods, dog temperments and attitudes. I am a people person as well as an animal person and in my daily life and job I am dedicated to helping others.
Reviews
Caroline was lovely to work with. She was communicative and helpful and our pets were clearly comfortable and happy in her care.
Caroline has always been an animal lover and curiously animals always seem to be instinctively drawn to her, especially dogs. She is a kind, caring and sensitive individual who has the ability to "read" a dogs needs. Caroline is an extremely responsible person and was the always the first call to take care of our family dog. Her love for dogs is evident and shows in how she cares so well for them.

At my own home I have a fenced in yard, but we do have two dogs of our own so I would need to know 100% that your dog was not reactive or did not have issues with other dogs. They are extremely friendly and well trained. I would feel more comfortable either staying at the clients house or making drop in visits, or having the dogs meet beforehand to make sure they get along.
Information Caroline W. would like to know about your pet
It is vital for me to know their history of behavior with other dogs and humans. Any triggers they have, any food allergies, any things they are not allowed, and any health concerns. Any routine you like them to stick to and any training youd like me to enforce.
A typical day
I would take them on long walks and make sure to play with them a lot and pay lots of attention to them. If they are allowed I don’t mind taking them to the dog park. Id try to work on any training and try to play games that stimulate them mentally. And give them lots of cuddles if theyre a cuddly dog!
