Availability

I'm currently working from home most days so am flexible with walks and drop-in visits. Wednesdays and Thursdays I am in the office full time, so I currently have limited availability those days.

Safety, trust & environment

Due to my own dogs being selective in the animals they get along with, I do not offer boarding in my home and only offer care at your residence.

Information Carrie D. would like to know about your pet

I’m experienced with senior pets and special needs, including insulin injections, sub-q fluids, and oral pills, so definitely let me know if I can help with anything above and beyond the normal eat/sleep/play routine!

A typical day

I’ll definitely cater to your pet’s needs, whether it’s a game of string play, or just some TLC for the shy or spicy ones. With every visit I make sure to follow your instructions for feeding, water, and litter box cleaning, any meds that need to be given, and then let the cats take the lead on what they are comfortable with in terms of interacting. Just let me know how they like to play!

Cats are my favorite! I’ve volunteered and cared for all types of cats from kittens to seniors, and am also comfortable with those special needs like injecting fluids and insulin, or giving meds. I love getting to know all their quirks and silly personalities, and love earning their trust.

Carrie is the sweetest. Our two tabbies Baxter and Izzy warmed up to her quickly, which they have a hard time with anyone else. She made sure the played with them and even followed instructions on playing with our quirky cat Baxter. We will be definitely be booking Carrie again. ❤️

Carrie is my regular cat sitter and she comes 2x a day to feed my 2 babies and gives on cat insulin shots. I can see how happy and loved they are when I get home. They get to play with Carrie and get love and attention when I’m traveling a lot.

Carrie was so wonderful with my kitty! She was reliable, caring, and sent countless photos and updates about each visit! He was so well cared for and I came home stress-free. Highly recommend Carrie for your fur babies!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
