Pet care experience

Hobby farmer and animal lover!

I am so excited to help love your furbaby or featherbabies! I have had a pet care business for several years and have been serving the South Haven area since moving here in 2022, and have several permanent clients. As a life long pet owner, a prior volunteer at the Humane Society of West Michigan, and with prior experience as a dog foster home I can assure you my love for animals is unending. I love spoiling them and have experience with all personalities and needs. I am a homeschool mom with 1 one teen left to graduate and therefore have a very flexible schedule and spare time I like to spend visiting your babies and keeping them entertained and content. I have experience with a wide variety of pets, temperaments, sizes, and health levels. I can't wait to meet your sweetie. I’m a flexible responsible experienced sitter who is in it for the pure love of animals, and will be sure they are given quality time they are not just a chore for me. Message me and I’ll come do a meet and greet for free at your convenience.

This was our first time using Rover. Carrie made the experience very easy and reassuring! She came and met my pets before watching them. Then during our time away, I got check in/check outs and updates with pictures! My dogs looked like they trusted her and like they had a great time. I appreciate her taking the time to give them attention and exercise!

Carrie dropped in and visited Clyde,my cat, once a day for several days. I rec'd updates and pics every day. It was clear that Clyde liked Carrie and Carrie was sweet to him.

Carrie is always amazing with our pets. We have a dog and 2 cats. Our animals love her and it shows in all the pictures she takes. Directions with feeding were followed! Our 3 get pet, scratched, and played with every time. We will always use Carrie!!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My schedule is very flexible. Aside from homeschooling my last teen pet care is what I do! So I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate any of your needs often with little notice. We live in South Haven year round and only travel 1 week a year.

Pets

A typical day

Depending on what type of pet you have activities will vary. However mental and physical stimulation are definitely included. I usually can understand what type of play or attention a pet prefers pretty quickly and we make the most of our time together. Loving on them and playing whatever way your fur or feather baby likes best is a top priority!
