Highlights
Pet care experience
Full time dog and cat lover
Hi! My name is Carine, and I'm an NCSU alumna with over 9 years of professional experience working with dogs. I spent 2 years as a kennel technician before becoming a veterinary technician, a role I've held for the past 7 years. I've also volunteered with the SPCA of Wake County and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to my veterinary experience, I've been privately pet sitting for the past 5–6 years and have built lasting relationships with many repeat clients. I've cared for dogs, cats, and other pets with a wide range of temperaments, routines, and medical needs, and I understand how important it is to provide dependable, compassionate care while owners are away. I love spending time with dogs and have plenty of energy for long walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with special medical needs. I can also administer medications, including oral, otic (ear), ophthalmic (eye), and injectable medications. Through my work as a veterinary technician, I have experience caring for diabetic pets, post-surgical patients, senior pets, and animals that are fearful, anxious, or require extra patience and gentle handling. As a current veterinary technician, your pet's health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether your pet needs an adventure-filled walk, extra patience and care, or someone experienced with medical needs, I'll treat them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Safety, trust & environment
I do drop in visits, they last anywhere from 30-90 minutes depending on what’s needed. Cats will get their litter box checked every visit. I make sure all pets have clean water provided at all times. I check for any messes, vomiting or diarrhea and will communicate thoroughly with pet parents as needed.
Ratings and reviews
Carine made us feel comfortable in leaving our cats in her care. She visited us the day before our trip to get our personal instruction and listened carefully to all the details. She even made other suggestions to better help our cats. Despite our trip being curtailed a bit, Carine remained flexible and extremely helpful. We would highly recommend her for your cat sitting!
Carine was wonderful with our German Shepherd! She was punctual, reliable and very personable. Highly recommend her.
