Safety, trust & environment

Caring for pets in a client’s home involves following their established routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime. I ensure pets receive their meals on schedule and get plenty of exercise. I also maintain hygiene by cleaning litter boxes and refreshing water, while administering any necessary medications. Safety is a priority, so I keep the home secure and monitor for hazards. Additionally, I provide affection and companionship to ease any anxiety the pets may feel. Regular check-ins with the owner keep them updated on their pets’ well-being, ensuring peace of mind while they’re away.

Information Carey C. would like to know about your pet

Dietary needs, including any special food or feeding schedules. Details on medical information, such as allergies, medications, and health issues, and emergency contact information for a veterinarian. Additionally, what is the pet’s socialization history with other animals and humans? Are there any signs of aggression or anxiety?

A typical day

When watching pets, I enjoy engaging them in a variety of fun activities that stimulate both their minds and bodies. For dogs, we often go for playful walks around the neighborhood and parks, where we can practice commands and play fetch with their favorite toys. For cats, I set up interactive play sessions with feather wands or laser pointers to encourage their natural hunting instincts. Additionally, I spend time cuddling and bonding, which helps to build trust and strengthen our connection.

Pet care experience

I have valuable pet care experience from living in a condo with a housemate who had two cats. On weekends when he was away, I took on the responsibility of caring for them. This included weighing their food, cleaning their litter box, and refreshing their water daily. I also administered medication to one cat with hyperthyroidism, ensuring she received the proper care she needed. Additionally, I’ve housesat for a friend, where I fed their dogs according to strict diet plans. This role required me to wake up at 6 AM to ensure they were fed on schedule. Through these experiences, I developed strong pet care skills and a deep appreciation for the well-being of animals. I’ve always wanted a dog, but coming from a traditional Chinese family, my parents have always said no. By taking care of others' pets, I aim to earn money to pay off my grad school bills and work toward my dream of adopting a dog one day.

This was the second time Carey house sat for us and took care of our puppy dog Lily. She is absolutely amazing with Lily. She makes it so easy to be away on a trip/mini vacation without worry or stress knowing that my dog and house are being taken care of. We are so thankful we found her. I highly recommend her.
