Caroline Mameesh

Caroline Mameesh is the founder of Simply The Best Pet Care and has provided professional pet care on the San Francisco Peninsula since 2014. She leads STB’s small team of vetted, trained W-2 employees and specializes in private dog walking, in-home pet sitting, pet-care safety, and reliable care systems. Simply The Best Pet Care is insured and bonded, a member of Pet Sitters International, and Caroline is a dedicated student of DogCo Launch. She is committed to raising the bar for pet care. When she isn't out with pets or working to make Simply The Best even better for her clients, she likes to put her knowledge and years of experience down on paper so she can share it with pet parents more easily. That's why this blog was born!

STB dog walkers will always greet a dog before a private neighborhood walk on the Peninsula. Pictured is Adi (black Lab) and Leo (white small dog) out on a walk in Woodside.
