All around pet lover
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. Always dog sitting for friends and family while they’re away. I also worked at a doggie daycare/boarding as a lead for 8+ months until I was offered a job at a local pet clinic (currently still working there.)
About Carrie K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Working as a lead at a doggie daycare/boarding facility has familiarized me with administering medication if the situation arose. I also had a dog that was a diabetic for about eight years so insulin injections are something I’m very familiar with. I love taking dogs for walks but also enjoy cuddling up with a dog/cat on the couch with a nice book to relax with. I’d also be willing to stay nights while the owners are away on vacation (but only if I’ve familiarized myself with the owner by visiting and sitting for their pet a few times)
Information Carrie K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any specific needs and what their behavior is like for any of their wants/needs. (Examples can be how a dog will scratch at a door to let the owners know they need to go to the bathroom).
A typical day
Anything and everything! Walks, swims, one on one playtime, you name it. I know a lot of pets have different preferences. Some want to run 24/7 while others would prefer to cuddle up and just relax. Whatever they need, I’ll make sure to amuse them.

Availability
My clinic job offers me a schedule at the end of every month, so I’ll update my available hours accordingly. I normally work 5-6 hours with one 11 hour day thrown in the middle of the week. Meaning I have several hours of availability where I’d be more then happy to keep your pets company.
