I’m a stay-at-home homeschooling mom with two children (ages 4 and 9) who love dogs. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care. I also offer care in your home when preferred.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, routine, and comfort are very important to me. I closely supervise pets, follow instructions carefully, provide regular updates, and work to make every pet feel secure and relaxed while in my care. I can care for multiple dogs who are familiar and friendly with one another. If needed, I can also accommodate dogs separately to help ensure a calm, stress-free environment for everyone.

Information Carrie M. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care possible, please share your pet’s routine, energy level, temperament, triggers, medical needs, medications, allergies, mobility concerns, and any training commands they know. I’d also like to know how they do on walks (leash manners, pulling, reactivity) and their comfort level with strangers, children, and other animals. I welcome a variety of personalities and temperaments, as long as expectations, behaviors, and any special needs are clearly communicated in advance.

A typical day

During walks and check-ins, I focus on keeping your pet safe, happy, and on their normal routine. Walks include exercise, sniff time, and positive reinforcement, while check-ins cover potty breaks, feeding, play, and plenty of attention. I always follow your instructions closely and adjust to your pet’s energy level—whether they prefer an active walk or a calm visit.

Loving care you can count on 🐾

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life (35+ years) and have experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and pets who require extra patience, attention, or medical care. I have hands-on experience administering medications, including insulin for diabetic dogs, and caring for dogs with seizures and other health concerns. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and closely monitoring a pet’s health and behavior. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’ve completed training classes with my own dogs and have continued that experience by working with my mom’s dog as well. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, structure, and positive behaviors.

Carrie was amazing! She was so flexible with our travel schedule and very responsive :) I could tell my dogs were happy and loved while I was away.

We hit the jackpot with Carrie! My dog adored her, and it showed every time she came by. I loved getting pictures and notes after each walk, it made my day. It’s such a relief to know your pet is not just being walked, but truly cared for. Highly, highly recommend!
