Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible Animal Lover for All
I've had numerous years of experience caring for other families animals, especially dogs and cats. All animals are a source of joy, physical activity, and companionship that is unparalleled to any human contact. I have administered medication, bathed, brushed teeth, and clipped nails on many, many occasions. I’ve managed small farms that included 50 chickens, half a dozen goats, and chicks. I have references and regular clients available to vouch for my skills. I’m a single mom that has found a subset of time that I’d love to fill with meaningful work. During the week, I work with individuals with developmental disabilities, but on the weekends I enjoy any opportunity to read, go on hikes, or cook. I’ve raised dogs and cats from infancy, as well as rescuing, so I’ve experienced a large range of what it means to care for each animal through all life’s stages.

Carrie is fantastic! Communicative, responsible, kind, and amazing with our dog, cat, and chickens. Will definitely book her again.
Best dog and house sitter ever! Her and her daughter El took amazing care of our two corgis and our home. She sent regular updates without prompting. Gave them lots of play time and cuddles. Pretty sure our dogs were mad when we returned and she left :D!
Carrie was a wonderful house guest & pet sitter for our two Australian shepherds. We had a last minute Rover booking cancellation from a different sitter & Carrie was quick to respond to our inquiry, meet us and take time to ensure she could cover our dogs needs. We met & hired Carrie within 2 days, for an 8 day booking that started the same week we hired her. Great communication, great care and great assurance all our needs were met. Highly recommend her & we are so glad we found her in a very unplanned stressful situation on our side (client). Thank you, Carrie!

Schedule
I work M-F, 8-4 in Oregon City where I also live and have a fairly flexible schedule with the opportunity to wfh. I’m a single mom and split care with my child’s dad, so I’ve found I have more free time than I know what to do with. I am highly skilled at time management, communicative, and am someone that likes to plan ahead.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I do not push animals to do more than they are comfortable with, providing patience, guidance, and reassurance when needed. It can be hard to have a new person in your space and your favorite human(s) gone. I enjoy providing regular play times, cuddles, walks, and outings in the car if they so enjoy.
A typical day
I would either walk your dog on a trail, sidewalk, take them to the park, or take them to a dog park. I love throwing balls, playing tug of war, making dog friendly treats, and having fun in the water. I enjoy playing with cats as well, providing cuddles, and giving attention if they so desire.

- Please let me know if your pet has a preference on where they like to sleep, route or park they prefer, or a favorite toy or game. I have assisted many elderly and disabled dogs, assisting them on ambulating stairs or ramps, getting into bed, or helping them access their food and water regularly with reminders. Every animal has their own personality and preferences, so navigating anxieties is a common occurrence for any sitting experience. Also, feeding routines and specifics are important to follow to create as much congruency in your animals routine.
