Safety, trust & environment

Before I accept a booking, I always make sure to do a meet and greet so I get the lay of the land. I like to make sure that I’m aware of the pet’s needs, their feeding and bathroom schedule and what’s off limits for them. I treat a client’s home as my own, so I’m very particular about keeping things clean and following the house rules so everything goes smoothly.

Information Caroline Z. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what kinds of treats or food a pet is allowed to have, if the pet gets along with other animals or people, and I like to know if I should feed the pet when I leave.

A typical day

Once I assess what a pet likes to do and their comfort level, I like to take dogs to the dog park so they can either socialize with other dogs if they’d like, or to run around in an empty dog park. I love to run, so I’m happy to run around with dogs and get their zoomies out of their system. For a cat, if they’re friendly and playful, we’d play with whatever toy is available, but if they need their space I know to respect their boundaries.

Pet care experience

I love being around animals! I am an active runner so I can run or walk any distance with any sized dog and can easily keep up with energized cats. I am happy to walk, play, or just give some company to your pet as you're gone during the day. I can walk early in the morning, any time in the evening and in the middle of the day between 1 and 2. I am available any time on the weekends. Before entering a home, I like to make sure I know where your pet should or should not go. I make sure to know their diets and what treats they're allowed to have, if any. I am careful to respect the home and I always make sure to clean up anything I need to.

Caroline always does a great job. She’s proactive, communicative, and makes me feel so better leaving home without my fur baby
