Pet Care at Your Home

Pet care experience

I have been professionally pet/house sitting for 8 years and love it. For HOUSE SITTING, I will stay at your home, while you are away. Your pets will feel more at ease in familiar surroundings and following their regular, daily routine. For DROP IN VISITS, I feed your pets, give them fresh water, clean a litter box, play/cuddle with pets and take pets in a secured yard for a potty break. I bond with pets quickly and really enjoy my time with them. I had my own cat for 21 years and dog for 15 years. Pet owners express often to me how happy they are with the attention and care I give their pets and how relieved they felt knowing their pets were well taken care of while away. Repeated pet/house sits are common for me.

Once again Carrie took amazing care of our house and our dog! She is very professional and sends numerous photos daily. She administered medication as needed and gave constant updates about his well-being. We couldn’t be happier with Carrie!

Carrie is amazing! She is kind, caring, and has a gift for bonding with animals. I’m an incredibly overprotective pet parent and would trust her again and again without hesitation!

Safety, trust & environment

I follow instructions well, and find keeping a pet’s familiar routine helps to minimize any stress they may feel. I like to first give your pet time and space to get to know me and feel relaxed being around me. Hanging out/playing and getting exercise, based on your pet’s individual needs are important for their overall health. I communicate updates on your pet’s interactions with me, how they are doing and answer promptly any questions you may have.

Information Carrie L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs. What are things that make them feel comfortable and what are things they dislike and should be avoided. Does your pet have separation anxiety? It is important to outline your pet's health concerns, habits and your expectations at the meet and greet, before booking. When a sit starts, it is not appropriate to add extra expectations if they were not previously discussed and agreed upon.

A typical day

For House Sitting, I love to explore new areas when walking with your dog, especially any places filled with nature. The fresh air, exercise and socializing with other dogs are important for their physical and mental health, as long as they are comfortable around other dogs. I’m an affectionate person and like to cuddle pets and also let your pet rest when returning home after being physically active. With cats, any special toys, pen light, etc. they like, I enjoy entertaining them with.
