Professional Pet sitter

Hello there!!! My name is Maria Carolina, but I go by Carolina! I work from home, so I have the availability to give the attention and care your pet needs. I don’t have any kids or pets, and I don’t take dogs from different households. I am Brazilian, and I just got a house in Sandy, after spending 15 months on a sabbatical, doing house and pet sitting, and traveling through the US, South America and Europe. I got very used to have pets around me, but I am not ready to have my own dog, so I decided to keep doing pet sitting to foster the pet connection in my life. During my sabbatical, I was traveling and house/pet sitting using another platform. During that time I had experience caring for several pets, among them: Labradors, German Sheppard, Jack Russel, pugs, frenchies,huskies and a couple of cats! I have my interview process before accepting to board any pet, I want this to be a good experience for the pet, for you and for me. I just take pets from one house hold at a time, and I can take up to 3 dogs, depending on their behavior. I hope you like my profile, and let me know if there is anything you need to know from my side!!

Carolina continues to be a great caretaker for my dog. She takes him for walks, sends happy pictures, and keeps me updated so I know my dog is doing well. She is good at dealing with my older dog who has some anxious habits. I will definitely trust her again with my dog!

Maria was great - my dog Nala had a few days of throwing up and feeling sick and she was updating me on her health and made her chicken and rice and cleaned her up. I so appreciate her for taking care of our girl when we were out of town and couldn’t be with her while she was sick. Would highly highly recommend!

Maria sent me photos and an update of my sweet girl every single day. It really eased my mind knowing she was safe and being well cared for. Will absolutely book again and again! Thank you Maria :)

Safety, trust & environment

I ask as many details as possible about the pets routine, to keep minimal changes for them. Specifically for dogs, I love to take them to dogs parks, hikes, trails, lakes, beaches, etc… since I’m a solo, they end up being a big companion! So I definitely rather sit dogs that are sociable.

A typical day

Like I said, I keep mostly at home, the dogs have access to my back yard to lounge, and get sunbath. After work I like taking them to the Sandy dog park, or trails. I’m also ok with a walk around the block, if you’d let us ok with it.

How many pets do you have, their ages, specific breed? Are they rescue, seniors, or pets with special needs? The personality of your pet. Are there any behaviors traits I should be aware of? Your pet’s routine – how many times per day do they need to be walked, fed, and how much do you generally spend on the pets routine? How is the pets sleeping routine? Is your pet social? Is it ok to take your pet to pet friendly places? (Restaurants, parks, etc…) For how long can your pet be left alone? Medication or special care – do they take any medication, or require any special care? Is your pet fixed?
