Your Pet Loved As Much As Our Own!

Pet care experience

We, my husband and I welcome and love all animals to stay at our home. We have a nice home and a large fenced in back yard for the dogs to play in, and room for any cat to explore in and feel welcome, safe and secure. We live in a quiet family oriented neighborhood. In our home we have a friendly Black Lab and an equally friendly cat who loves the outdoors as much as the indoors. Both our cat and dog have been around many other cats and dogs throughout their lives so your pet will not make them territorial or anything negative. Dante loves having company over and having a friend to play with. When your pet stays with us, he will be treated like one of the family! We love to play and be interactive with our pets because we know they need attention just as much as human children do! We hope you will choose us for your pet's care and know that they are in good hands. Also, when using our service we will always keep you up to date about your furry friend while you are away. We will send daily pictures or even a mini video via text or email, so you always know that your pets are well and well cared for. About this sitter: Being a dog and cat owner, I know that sometimes the best place for your pet is in their home. Especially while you are out of their sight I know that they are less anxious when they are somewhere that is familiar and their own. Let us take care of your home as well as your pets! We have watched several friends pets in our home as well as their own home for years! We have experience in giving both cats and dogs oral medication as well as any topical medication they may have needed. We also have experience cleaning up after pets when they have accidents or get sick. We do NOT hit any animals as discipline. We raise our voice and strengthen our tones, to make the dog aware of something that was bad or wrong. We also know that you cannot discipline a dog too long after the event has occurred, as they will not connect the two events. Any discipline that is wrong is dealt with as soon as the act is in action or about to begin, that way the dog can connect the action with the word "NO" or any word that would be best to prevent a bad action/habit from occurring. Why I love dog sitting I have had pets, dogs and cats since I was at least 3. I have had dogs of various sizes in my life, from small teacup dogs to Great Danes and German Shepard's. My love for animals is unconditional, because their love for us is even more unconditional. Meet my pets Our dog Dante is a black lab who loves people and other animals alike. He loves to play and share his toys. Missy, our cat, is very independent but loves being social with people she likes. She is used to other animals in our house, and if she doesn't like them she keeps her distance, otherwise she'll play with them just like she plays with Dante. About my yard We have a big fenced in back yard. We have attached photos for you to see! My experience administering medication Yes. If there is something specific needed to be done, clear instructions will be required. I work from home, so taking care of your fur babies will fit right in with my "desk job". I work my own hours and schedule, so I am able to work around your fur babies' needs. I have a fenced-in backyard, but they will not be let out unattended. If needed, they will remain on a leash when they go outside in the back yard, depending on the pet's personality and what is agreed upon between you and me.

I will definitely book with her again. I was nervous about how my Tiger Balm would react to being in an unfamiliar environment, but she took lots of pictures and kept me updated on how he was doing. A very positive sitting experience!!

I highly recommend Carrie. She took extremely good care of my dog. She is professional, caring, and has a warm, inviting home. If I could give six stars, I would.

Omg Carrie did an AMAZING job watching my cat Clio. She always made sure to update me on how’s she doing, and sending the cutesiest pictures of her throughout the day. When I came to pick her up it was like she never wanted to leave. I for sure will choose Carrie anytime I need someone to watch after my pet.

Carrie sent lots of updates and pictures! I felt so comfortable having my fur baby stay with her while I was out of town.
