Pet care experience
I have grown up with dogs my whole life, from Boston terriers to American bulldogs, so I have experience with a variety of breeds. I do not own a dog but want a fur baby once I finish graduate school. I would love to be a part of helping and caring for dogs in any way that I can. Selfishly, helping you out also helps me; dogs are like that; they know how to help you too without ever saying a word.
Reviews
I’ve know Carrie for 2 years and she is an incredibly kind, caring and reliable person. As a responsible and caring individual she would be an excellent dog caregiver.
Carrie is hands down a dog lover. From 105lb american bulldog to a 7lb mini toy poodle, she cuddles, naps with and loves them unconditionally! She is a reliable and organized individual that anyone can trust their babies with!
Carrie watched my Labrador Finley for a few days when I needed to go out of town. Finley had the best few days under her care. She took her for walks on the trail multiple times and communicated often with me. Her number one priority was Finley. She is caring, kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Carrie is reliable and cares greatly for your fur babies. I highly recommend her and will be using her in the future.
My Chihuahua Daisy loves Carrie. Every time she walks in the door Daisy immediately goes to greet her. When given the option Daisy snuggles up to Carrie and enjoys sitting in her lap! Carries is a natural animal lover and very responsible. Your pet would love having Carrie as a dog walker, pet sitter, or someone to spend time with!

Safety, trust & environment
I live alone in a one-bedroom apartment with an adequate balcony. Although I do not have a fenced-in yard, my apartment is a pet-friendly community with lots of outside space for dogs to play! I frequently take walks on a few trails with a dog park nearby, which includes Four Mile Run, Barcroft Park, and Glencarlyn Dog Park.
Home
Information Carrie J. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences. Some questions I have for pet owners are the following: is there a specific routine you would like me to adhere to? Is the dog on any medication? Does he or she have a feeding schedule/diet restrictions? Does the dog get along with other animals? Does the dog have any sensitivities that I should be aware of?
A typical day
Typically, I walk on Four Mile Run Trail, but sometimes for a change of scenery, I go to Thomas Jefferson middle school and walk around the trail there. I want to adhere to their routine as best as I can. I am a huge fan of Doga (dog yoga). My friend is a yoga instructor, so that could be something fun I would do with your pup if permitted!

Currently, I am working as an occupational therapist (per-diem) while finishing graduate school. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I will have plenty of time to meet your fur babies' needs!
