I'm a professor, and I travel to RI once per week. The remainder of the time, I work from home, libraries, and cafes, so I have plenty of time to hang out and play with your kitties or pups. I can also take breaks for walks throughout the day, as I mostly set my own schedule.

40 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience

Safety, trust & environment

I will interact with your fur babies on their own terms. For kitties, this might mean lots of cuddling and playing or hanging out and talking from across the room until they feel comfortable with me. I send pictures and updates at least once from every visit. Most of my recent dog experience with dogs has been with friends' pitties, which has always involved playing a lot. I am unfortunately unable to board animals at this timem

Information Carse R. would like to know about your pet

I will ask at lot of questions at our meet and greet about your pet's preferences, habits, and any restrictions or concerns you have so that I can make your wee one as comfortable as possible!

A typical day

Each animal is very different, as are their humans. For cats, I start with the basics (food, water, litter, medications) and then the rest of our visit follows the lead of your fur baby, whether it be active play, cuddles, or just hanging out. We will also have a mini photo shoot so that I can send you pictures with my updates.

Pet care experience

I was born into a home with canine sisters and grew up with both cats and dogs. While I love all sorts of dogs, I have spent most of my life caring for cats. I also have training in cat and dog first aid.

Carse is the best! My kitty loves her and I’m always relieved when she’s available to visit my fur baby!

Our experience with Carse was ideal. They were attentive, proactive, and best of all, loving. Our cat really bonded with them and we received thorough and thoughtful check-ins throughout our trip. It's always hard to leave a kitty behind but we felt totally confident that she was in good hands.

We loved having Carse take care of our two cats! She was extremely attentive and gave lots of updates on how they were doing. Would highly recommend her to others :)

Carse was the absolute best! My VERY skittish cat actually stayed around and let her pet her. I was so relieved to have her help while I was away!
