Carrie D.'s Neighborhood

Carrie D. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Fun family who loves animals.

Pet care experience

I have a large home in which I can provide a clean safe environment for your fur baby. He or she will get plenty of exercise and adequate potty breaks. I'm committed to giving your fur baby the amount of love and attention they need and desire. I have two teenage children who also love animals and will love your fur baby as if they were their own. My schedule is flexible and I can adapt to your pets needs. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby. So depending on your dogs preference they may sleep in a kennel, on a dog bed, or anywhere in our home. This a great way for me to be able to enjoy a variety of dogs.

Carrie was kind, concerned for the welfare of my pups, very encouraging and reassured me that she was making them a priority. They were happy and the terms of our Boarding worked out perfectly! I would recommend her to anybody in the Springfield area!!

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.
