Great outdoors for great pets.

Pet care experience

As a kid i would often go backpacking with my family in areas like the Three Sisters wilderness, Mt Hood National forest and pacific crest trail. We would bring are companions (Bo a great dane and maggie a blue healer). Traditionally Bo was great helper, by packing the food for him and maggie, maggie was always good by leading the front 20 ft ahead. I cherish and love all times of being outdoors with family and these two companions. So if your looking for someone to walk your dog , this is my niche. Whether it be local in a park or a more natural hiking experience, i can cater to any additional needs, provide toys and frisbees and make sure they get there time for exercise. i am currently a self employed arborist and pet sitter, with my own home. If you have any questions please feel free to ask

Carson was fantastic with my Golden Retriever & Maine Coon cat. It was evident that he loves animals and treats them with kindness and love. I have already booked with him again and will continue to do so. Michael C

Carson was great with our large St. Bernard Bubbles. He was sending regular updates with photos which offered peace of mind for us since we don’t regularly leave Bubbles with new friends. We will definitely be reaching out to Carson for future boarding.
