Westchase Pet Sitting/Dog Walking

Pet care experience

Going out of town? Need some help with your treasured family members? Please let me help! Whether it is walking your dog/dogs multiple times a day…or you need someone to stop in and feed your cats, change the litter box and spend some time playing with them while you are away. I can help. I am also experienced with birds and other furry and feathered friends. Each situation is different and your “babies” may have specific needs, medicines, and routines. I am happy to accommodate. I am medically and nutritionally knowledgeable to take care of most animals. I also provide concierge services and can take you pets to the vet or groomer for you so you don't have to miss time from work. I have personally been in this situation and most employers do not appreciate being late or missing a day to take your pet to vet appointments. I am currently the southeast director for a national non-profit dog rescue. I started out volunteering at the Humane Society back home and was then elected to the board of directors. I've been involved with and have owned almost every type of animal (fur, feathers, and hooves) you can imagine and have experience with all sizes and all temperaments. I was also the go-to person for the wild life department when orphaned deer and raccoon came in every spring. I would bottle feed them until they were able to move to a wild life sanctuary and be with their own kind. I live in Westchase and currently taking reservations. Services range from daily feeding and walks for your dog(s) to feeding your cat(s) and cleaning litter boxes and whatever else may be necessary to ensure your pets are well taken care of in your absence. If you prefer your pet not be alone, I can also accommodate dogs at my home for extended periods.

I was in town working for the day and am so thankful to have found Carey! She was so awesome with Triton and I could tell by his actions that he had a "big day" with her and the other pups. It is such a relief to know that he has a great caregiver whenever I need to come to Tampa! Thanks, Carey! I so appreciate you!

Carey was AWESOME!!! Very knowledgeable and experienced about animals and so loving with our older babies! She made us (and them) feel comfortable right away! She was very flexible with our last minute request and then went the extra mile making sure all details were attended to and our 'kids' were given the absolute best care! She was on time, took great pictures and even washed the doggie bowl :)! Five stars for Carey! She's a must for any one who wants peace of mind with a trustworthy - true animal lover while you're away.

Carey was great with our furry baby! Satchel is an older, somewhat (!) cantankerous lab. Carey took him right in and made sure that he was well cared for while we traveled, all while caring for her other pups. Satchel came home happy!

Carey is great! She really cares about every individual dog's needs. She was awesome with my dog and she treated my dog the way she would be treated at home. My pup came home happy every day and I was at ease knowing that Carey had everything under control.
