Information Carrie F. would like to know about your pet

I love dogs that are dog and people-friendly, but I am also great with dogs who are shy, have special needs and may require medicine and extra care.

A typical day

We play or hang out in the fenced-in back yard and take occasional walks in the neighborhood---when we are not relaxing on the couch. I have two giant baskets of toys and balls for the guests to play with.

House of Dogs. No Bones about it.

Pet care experience

I have adored dogs since I was seven years old. My best friend for 16 years was a dog named Tony, whom I still miss to this day. I've had a few dogs since then; one Chihuahua named Igor probably saved my life when my husband died in 1996. I stop for all loose dogs, rain or shine, day or night---and I bring them home to hang out with my dog and daughters until we find their humans. I have been with Rover for over sixyears and have loved every minute of it. The hardest part after a long stay is saying good-bye to my new family members. I have a friendly Cava-poo named Parker, who is a one-man welcoming committee for all dogs and humans who come to the house.

Carrie and V (Veronica) were wonderful. I have a spoiled little dog and they probably spoiled her more. Sent pictures every day while on my trip which made me feel I made the right decision. They are true dog lovers and dedicated to giving your beloved family member a loving home environment. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
