Experienced, reliable animal lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of animals, including dog walking and cat sitting for over 25 years. My own animals include my striped tabby cat, Sam, my 80lb Catahoula, Leo, and my pug, Sunny, so I understand how important it is for you to trust me with your family members :) Over the years, I’ve also been active with and volunteered for rescues and shelters, as well as studying dog behavior and positive training methods. As a fellow pet lover and fur mom, I’d love to help and will treat your pets as my own! I love meeting the fellow neighbor animals in my hood!

Carrie is amazing! She has watched my 2 cats many times but now we have one sugar baby (diabetic cat( who needs timed feeding and insulin shots. Carrie came on time for the feeding and injections and gave my babies tons of attention and love. I always come home to happy cats. The pictures and reports show how much she cares!

Huge thank you to Carrie for being so kind and accommodating, especially adding on another day last minute. I loved the report cards and photos, Colby seemed very happy during his visits

I’m experienced with senior pets (including cats) and special needs, so definitely let me know if I can help with anything above and beyond the normal eat/sleep/play routine!

I’ll definitely cater to your pet’s needs, whether it’s a long brisk walk, slow but interesting sniffari, tough game of tug, or just some extra TLC. Just let me know how they like to play!
