Experienced dog owner
Pet care experience
After losing my Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix in 2017, I started my pet sitting business to fill the gap in companionship that my pup provided. Since that time I have gotten married, and we now have an 11 year old corgi named Winston! He’s used to be around lots of other dogs and is very good about sharing his space. He is low energy at this point and just likes to chill with other dogs. I have 15 years of experience taking care of a dogs ranging from 10-180 lbs, so your dog will be in good hands! I’m looking forward to taking your dog on long walks, to the dog park (if appropriate) and overall making him/her feel special. I can handle all breeds and sizes. My dog was semi-dog aggressive, so I can also help with dogs that have special needs. I have also done a significant number of cat drop-ins, and I’m very comfortable making your cat feel special while you are away! I have a undergraduate degree in finance and an MBA in finance. So my day job is in the finance world. I just have a strong passion and love for dogs/cats!!
Reviews
Carrie is great with my 2 dogs. She is very attentive and reliable.
Excellent job cat sitting — even vacuumed litter for me and cleaned cat bowls! So appreciative!!
Carrie has taken care of our cat on many occasions and always done a great job. This time, she took care of both our cat and our ~1 year old mini Aussie who has lots of energy. Carrie did a great job - going above & beyond - with both our dog and our cat, as usual! She also sends lots of updates which we always appreciate.
Amazing! Chloe was so relaxed and seemed so happy. :) she is a very anxious dog and i felt very at ease
