Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, compassionate lady with a passion for dogs
I’ve grown up with dogs (since the age of 5) and continued to own one as an adult so have over 30+ years experience. More recently, I have helped care for my sons’ elderly Patterdale and also joined a dog walking site that enabled me to borrow dogs to walk on a regular basis and have sat for friends dogs too.
Cat care experience
Carolineg also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As I offer a pet sitting service in owners homes, I am happy to comply with owners rules concerning their pet’s routines and safety etc. I’m patient and understanding with nervous pets and happy to sit quietly and offer cuddles or play ball games outside with energetic dogs. I understand that every dog/cat has its own unique personality and so I offer individualised care to every one.
Ratings and reviews
Caroline is so amazing. The first night that we had ever left Coco and she was as happy as anything. I highly recommend Caroline.
Caroline was very diligent, meeting us and the dogs at home twice before we went away. She requested detailed notes on each dog which was reassuring. She looked after our three very well,including one if mine that takes a lot of meds, and one other that had just been signed off the day before by the vets following an operation. Caroline also managed one of my terriers that can be frightened/nervous/slightly reactive to strangers very well and he was settled with her by the first evening. Caroline didnt walk my dogs (at my request as they are all rescues and can be reactive - we used my normal walkers) but I know she would have done if they had been easier dogs. The house was tidy upon our return and the dogs well and happy. I did receive a number of messages whilst I was away from Caroline but again that was at my request to ensure Caroline had all she needed. She managed a temperamental boiler and a power cut with a little guidance from us! She also kept me up to date with how the dogs were doing - which again, she checked that it was what I wanted before I went away. In summary, a thorough and diligent sitter. If you are someone that likes to stay in touch with the sitter whilst you are away then I would recommend Caroline.
So grateful to Caroline for her friendliness, reliability and the confidence she gives us to go out for the day without any concerns for our dog’s welfare.
It was such a blessing to have Caroline look after my two dogs for a few days. She was so kind and she communicated excellently throughout the stay. I felt relieved knowing my dogs were safe with her in the comfort of their own space.
Caroline looked after Humphrey and Jasper beautifully. It was exceptionally hot, so it was quite tricky getting them walked in the cooler hours of the day. She formed a routine with them and has left the house immaculate. If she had any questions or problems, she messaged me.
Cannot rate Caroline highly enough. She is fantastic with our little sausage dog, who adores her.
