Avid Animal Lover! (Dogs and Cats)

Pet care experience

I have owned and loved various pets, totaling over 20 years of animal care experience! I also have experience providing loving hospice and diabetic care (IV's and insulin shots). Although I ended up going a different direction, several years ago, I started online schooling for animal massage therapy via Northwest School of Animal Massage. I am an avid animal lover! I truly have a gift! I bond with dogs (and cats) rather quickly! Not to toot my own horn, but I have the ability of becoming most dogs' second best friend (after the owner/master) within a matter of minutes! I firmly insist on humane treatment towards animals and have no tolerance for animal abuse or neglect! Non-human animals often tend to act more humane than humans! Animal cruelty should be a felony in all states! If I were enclosed the rest of my life, in a zoo full of canine and feline slobbering all over my face 24/7, I would truly die a happy man!

To Whom It May Concern, Carl has a natural love and affinity with animals. That affinity is sensed and returned by our furry friends towards Carl. How else can I explain how Tuxedo, our always skittish around strangers cat, bonded so quickly and deeply with Carl? Carl cared for all of Tuxedo’s needs while we were on vacation. Tuxedo is a very senior feline with diabetes. Carl took great care of Tuxedo’s diabetes included twice-daily insulin injections. In addition, Tuxedo loved the gentle massages he received from Carl’s loving hands. I unhesitatingly and enthusiastically recommend Carl for providing all the care for which he is qualified by training and experience. Beth Fairchild

Carl lived with me in my home for awhile. He had a Schnauzer named Romeo. He was definitely devoted to his dog. His veterinarian he worked with was impressed with his devotions. On the death of Romeo one veterinarian suggested that he provide a home for another animal as there are many animals who need homes. He had Romeo put to sleep with the utmost reluctance. He could not bear to see him suffer any more. This was an emotionally difficult experience for him. While living with me he learned to love cats. He will love them the rest of his life. He bonded with Murphy my cat. He once even helped me rescue Murphy from a raccoon trap. Carl even became concerned with the welfare of neighborhood pets. As a pet sitter he will be a devoted and trustworthy employee. Sincerely Ronald Winfield

There are very few people in this world that have as much love and compassion for animals as Carl. He is very aware of their needs and goes out of his way to meet them. Carl treats his animals like family and connects with them in a very special way. I would highly recommend him to care for anyone's pet.

To whom it may concern: I met Carl when his Schnauzer Romeo had problems with bladder stones years ago. I was his veterinarian. Carl has since moved away, and Romeo has passed on, but Carl’s connection with and care for Romeo was remarkable. It was, and is, obvious that when Carl says Romeo was a family member it was more than lip service. I have no reservations recommending him for work in any pet care service in line with his training, including general pet care, boarding and daycare. I would be happy and comfortable letting him care for my pets. Eric K. Hansen DVM

Skills

20 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Injected medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I am flexible but require a muzzle for aggressive dogs. I require a harness for high energy dogs. Aside from that, I am not overly fixated that a dog must heel, for my philosophy is that a dog not only needs exercise but should be allowed to "smell the roses," so to speak.

Information Carl C. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. I would like a heads up regarding your pet's preferences or idiosyncrasies. I would enjoy learning animal massage, first aid, and/or CPR. I have experience giving insulin shots to a diabetic cat and hospice IV's to another senior feline. I would be a great fit for special needs or previously abused animals needing extra love!

A typical day

I am open-minded regarding play and exercise locations. I bond with animals rather quickly! I offer a lot of affection and will really enjoy the mutual exercise!
