Pet care experience
I've had dogs my entire life. When living with my parents, we had 5 chihuahuas and a hound-mix. I moved out and 4 years ago I got a dog of my very own. She's an Australian Shepherd named Rue and she is my world. She's my best friend and I adore her so much that I got a tattoo of her face on my arm. Yes, I have achieved crazy dog lady status! I would be willing to treat your dog just as special (minus getting a tattoo of their face)! I know how to deal with high-energy dogs like my own and also mellow ones, like the chihuahuas I grew up with. Having a dog of my own who is extremely high-energy and who also suffers from separation anxiety gives me a unique perspective as a dog sitter/walker. I am aware of when dogs feel anxious or upset and would know when to remove them from certain situations. I also know how to tire out my high-energy dog through walks and hikes and playing ball with the chuck-it, so I can assure your dog will get adequate amounts of exercise! I also am an avid traveler, so I know what my own worries are for my dog when I am away without her and will keep that in mind when I am dog-sitting. When I am watching your dog, you can be comforted knowing that I adore dogs and I will do everything to assure their comfort and happiness while you are away! I am willing to watch your dog at my apartment on the weekends when I am home, will do walks and/or drop in visits any time on the weekend, and I am available to house sit any time! I will try to make you and your pup as comfortable as possible :)
Reviews
Carrie was great to work with. She was on time, communicative, and so great with my high energy puppy. Not to mention she brought over her own little high energy pup! Ronnie has such a good time and cried at the door for a half an hour after they left. Would DEFINITELY utilize her services again!
I could tell right away upon meeting Carrie that she is an awesome person and total dog lover. I felt super at ease leaving our pup with her. It was just 1 night but I got plenty of pics and Carrie was easy to communicate with. Her dogs Juniper and Rue are sweeties too and Bridger seemed to have a blast with them- Juniper jumped in the car with Bridger as we were packing up to leave :) :) Thank you Carrie for taking such good care of our guy!!
Thank you for taking care of Hazel. If we are in the area we will be in touch.
Carrie was very accommodating and easy to work with. She sent pictures and text updates every day. When we picked up our pup he completely melted into her when she gave him his good bye belly rub which I felt was a good sign he enjoyed his time with her. We will use her services again when we need to.

Information Carrie C. would like to know about your pet
What is your dog's personality like? What can I do to help them be more comfortable while you are away? Do they have any fears or things I should know about? As for breed preferences - there is none. I love pups of all kinds!
A typical day
I have a dog of my own and we love to go hiking and go on walks on the beach and through the trails of Bellingham! We love to be outside! I would love to take your dog out to the spots I take my own dog. If your dog is comfortable, I can take them out with my own dog and they can play together! I can play ball with them, let them run at the dog park, give them snuggles, or take them on walks where they will be leashed the entire time. It is totally up to you and what is comfortable for you! I am open to do whatever it is your dog enjoys doing. If your dog needs to be taken out separately, that is not an issue either!
