Safety, trust & environment

I know letting people into your home unsupervised takes a lot of trust. I promise that I will treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care.

Information Carrie S. would like to know about your pet

Please share anything that's important for me to know, including your pet's favorite games and toys, spots inside of your home that are the first place to look when a cat is "missing" (napping in private lol). Please also give me a heads up if your dog is reactive to other dogs or people.

A typical day

My time with your pet is spent with your pet (except for the cats who like to nap underneath beds!) I know that they are most likely used to getting a ton of attention when you're home, and I try my best to give them as much attention as I can when during my visits to make up for what is missing, at least a little bit! I love walking and playing with dogs, but I I know that cats are no strangers to fun, either.

Carrie was a fantastic sitter for our two cats. She played with high-energy kitten every time she visited, and she made sure to pay careful attention and give love to our older cat as well. Both of our cats seemed very happy and content when we returned home!

Carrie is amazing and takes such good care of Freddy! When I need to travel for work with relatively short notice she has been super accommodating, detailed in her updates in how Freddy is doing, and a great companion for him while I'm away.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
