Animals are my life! Do you want someone who will care for your pet family as if they were her own? Look no further! I have been a pet sitter for over 15 years, and was a zookeeper for 6 years. I do visits, medication, transport, walks, play time, feeding, and cleaning. I also do poop scooping of yards if needed. I can also board birds and reptiles on a one on one basis (I try not to take in too many at a time!) I also water plants and take in mail. I care for all kinds of critters and have experience with dogs from small to large (comfortable with Pits, St. Bernard's you name it). I also have experience with reptiles, birds, cats, chickens, goats, horses, you name it! Give me a call! I hope to meet you and your pet family soon!

She is part of our family. We love her and appreciate everything she has done for us and our babies This past 6, almost 7 years. Can't find a better word to describe her but "family" .  Trust, responsibility, love is some of the many qualities you will get when hiring Caroline.

Caroline came in and helped us with our two cats and one dog while we were away. She always sent pictures of all three animals. Which she had to be patient for as one cat is very shy. She made sure they were all feed and had clean water. When we leave and I have to take the dog to the boarder, he gets very stressed out. He doesn't eat and just sits there. I am happy to have Caroline as another choice. I would hire her again.

Caroline took great care of our 2 cats. She took a photo of the cats when she arrived and texted it to us to show they were okay. She bonded with them and they seemed happy to see her.  She gave one of our cats her medication without a problem. When she needed additional supplies, she reached out to us so we could let her know where to find what she needed. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my cats were in good hands.

Caroline was great! My cat needs to take pills 2x a day and she didn't have any trouble getting him to eat them. She even sent me pics of him every visit :)

Caroline was professional and took good care of our basset hound pups. We did a meet and greet before hand which made us feel comfortable with her.   She did great with following our care instructions. She maintained good communication with us the entire time.  Would definitely hire her again!

I feel so fortunate to have found Caroline to pet sit! I felt nervous about hiring a new person for this job. As soon as I met her I felt at ease. She is professional, experienced, dedicated, and considerate. I have many different species of pet and Caroline made two trips over before my trip to be sure she understood my expectations. She communicated the hours she would be staying in my home.  She communicated when she had questions and she kept me posted on how things were going. I returned to happy animals and no surprises.  I recommend her as someone I trust to take good care of my fur babies and I  hope she will be available for my next trip!

Caroline was great choice for us because she has experience with animals aside from cats and dogs. She also does everything from full boarding to coming to your house for daily check-ups. We have a conure and a tortoise and felt daily checks would be appropriate. 
We could tell from the moment she came for her introductory visit that she really cares for the animals she takes care of and she has a lot of experience with a variety of pets. Our conure is a bit finicky but she climbed on her finger instantly. 
Caroline did everything exactly as we asked for and even sent us a picture and text every day so we could be totally at ease while being away. Caroline is our first choice for next time we are away and we recommend her without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a reliable, animal loving pet whisperer.

This lady went above and beyond for my little pet's. We have baby bearded dragon's so most people wouldn't be comfortable feeding them live bugs 3 times a day but not Caroline. She fed them, kept their cages clean, and cleaned up the feeder tanks! She even took the time to water my plants while I was away! I will be using her again and will refer her to any of my friend's looking for a pet sitter

For the first time ever my pets have been content when I returned from a trip.  I have 3 dogs and 1 cat.  The cat especially, volunteered to get close enough to sniff Caroline on the first meeting, and she has never ever done that, she's 14 and quite fickle.  I actually felt I was doomed to never hire another pet sitter again, until I met Caroline.

Caroline is very responsible and clearly loves animals. She took care of my 2 kitties in South San Jose for four days and sent me photos every day. She is mature, reliable, and I highly recommend her. 

she will take care of the pets needs, and spend some time playing or chilling with them. our cats took right to her when we interviewed her. they don't do that for just anyone. including us after they got to our home for the first time. when we got back the litter boxes were clean, and the house was just as clean as we left it.
overall great caretaker. 5 stars

Very comfortable with parrots, which can be hard to find. Appreciate the thoughtful care, photos, and cuddles for my bird.

Caroline is really cool.  She has many of her own pets, so taking care of my two cats for a few days was a piece of cake.  My cats seemed to take to her well, which is a plus! I would definitely hire her again!

I travel three days a week and get home very late, so I use Caroline's service three nights a week to take care of feeding time and scooping duties.  I have a house full of critters (7 dogs and 10 cats).  It can be a daunting job because they all have different feeding requirements, some have special diets, some are on medication, and they all poop (!) but Caroline is a pro.  She takes great care of them and seems to love them as much as my family does.  In addition to three times a week service, she also house/pet sits when I'm able to get a weekend off to play.  I know that my critters and my home are in good hands.  Pets are extended members of our family.  Caroline is reliable and trust worthy - definitely someone you should call to take care of your fur babies.

When two other prospective petsitters bailed out, she came at very short notice to take care of our kitties, one of which is older and on medication (which the other tries to eat - grr!).  

When we got home, the kitties were happy and not stressed at all.  She texted us pictures while we were gone (which we got on the way home because we were camping off-grid), and everything appears to have gone perfectly.  We're very happy with her, and will use her again for future trips.

Caroline takes care of our 3 cats when we have to be away on biz or family trips.  She always texts us photos of how the cats are each time she sees them.  Caroline goes above and beyond the call of duty - during a 3 week trip to visit family in France and Italy, one cat got mad, knocked over a bamboo plant and broke its container on the kitchen floor.  Caroline texted a photo of the broken container, cleaned up the mess and replanted my bamboo plant in another container to save the plant.  She's worth every penny she charges!

Caroline is an outstanding individual! She is reliable, excellent with cats, competent, and a pleasure to work with! She works for me almost every weekend for 3 hours assisting me with grooming my cats. I am a breeder and have employed others but Caroline is the best!
