Hi, I'm Carrie and I have always been an animal lover- I have a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in Animal Science (and a PhD in Biomedical Science). I have a friendly basset/beagle mix dog and a tabby cat. I also own a Quarter horse (boarded at a stable). As a pet owner and travel enthusiast, I know firsthand the incredible stress of finding trustworthy pet care when I'm away. I want to help others with this problem- I would be happy to welcome your dog(s) into my home while you're out of town. I own a house with a large fenced backyard. I provide plenty of walks and playtime. I walk my dog (and any I'm watching) everyday and play for as long as they'd like in the backyard. Or if your pets are more comfortable in their own home, I'm happy to stop in up to 3 times per day to care for them there. I will keep you updated with texts and pictures so you can enjoy your travels. Let me spoil your fur-kids and give you peace of mind while you are away!
