Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets>People😉 (*AFB Access*)
To put it simply, I’m known as the “animal lover” of my family and friend circles. I grew up taking care of all sorts of animals — dogs, cats, goats, ferrets, guinea pigs, lizards, you name it! And in the last ten years, I’ve unintentionally built up quite a resume with pet sitting just because of my well-known passionate love for animals. I pride myself on being in-tune with animals, meaning that I am especially skilled in sensing when an animal is in need and I truly won’t sleep until they’re at peace. I also have special experience with helping and rescuing sick/injured animals, including a recent incredible duck rescue that I will gladly talk your ear off about! Whether the task at hand is as domestic as giving a pet their insulin injections or as wild as safely returning a baby bird to its nest, I have quickly become the one my friends and family call when there is an animal that needs help. No matter the age or the need of the pet, I am many pet owners’ go-to for pet sitting because they trust me to lead with my heart above all else and take care of their fur babies in the exact way they would, so you can trust me too:)

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I come to your home, you can trust me to follow all directions down to the smallest detail. I know how difficult it is to have to trust a stranger in your home, so I will do my best to make you feel as comfortable as possible with the entire process. I’ll never enter rooms that I have no reason to be in, and I will do my best to only handle house items specifically pertaining to your pets. If I am staying overnight at your house, my obvious preference is for your pet to sleep with me at night so I can snuggle them all night, but I can accommodate any nighttime needs and preferences! I also pride myself on leaving homes cleaner than I found them, so if I am staying in your home, you can expect to return to a vacuumed, dusted, and disinfected home with freshly cleaned dishes and sheets according to your preference! I also know how special and reassuring it is to receive photos and videos of your pets while you’re away from them, so that is a huge priority for me. It’s one thing for me to tell you that your pet is having a good time and bonding well with me, but to see all the fun they’re having in pictures and videos makes all the difference!
Ratings and reviews
Carson was absolutely amazing watching our dog while we were out of the country 2 weeks. She was so kind, thoughtful and caring for Bella. She kept us constantly updated with how Bella was doing and sent pictures daily. She thought of every detail before Bella’s arrival and was very thoughtful preparing for an awesome stay. We highly recommend Carson and look forward to booking with her in the future!!!!
This is the second time we’ve booked Carson, this time just for some drop-in visits for our diabetic cat over a weekend trip, and she outdid herself yet again! It’s critical that he has enough food in his system to receive his insulin injection to prevent his blood sugar from getting too low, so when he decided to go on a hunger strike out of retaliation of us leaving town (🙄) she stayed at our house longer than originally agreed upon and tried several different methods to get him to eat and eventually was successful. This just goes to show she clearly cares so incredibly much about the welfare of the animals under her care, as if they’re her own! We will definitely continue rebooking with Carson anytime she’s available!!
Words cannot describe how phenomenal of a pet/house sitter Carson is! She went above and beyond for our entire 9 day trip, taking the most incredible care of our animals. Our cat had recently been diagnosed with diabetes right before our trip, and she was so observant about any changes in behavior and managed the insulin administered beautifully. Our dog is absolutely obsessed with her too! She is an excellent communicator, followed every direction to a t, and is so thoughtful. When we returned from our trip she had completely deep cleaned all the common spaces and the guest room she stayed it, even offering to do the laundry. I seriously cannot recommend her enough - we will definitely be rebooking her every opportunity we get!!
Carson goes above and beyond for Finny! Finny absolutely loves her! She is the best dog sitter out there!
Carson is top tier and easily in our top 3 sitter choices! Toby and Theo immediately took to her and we immediately felt comfortable knowing they were comfortable. She stayed with our dogs in our home and took great care of our pups and of our home. Everything was clean and spotless when we arrived back home. She sent daily pics and communicated with us while we were gone. Carson is a no brainer when choosing a sitter and you and your pets will be lucky to have her!
Carson was the absolute best with our boy! She was so great at easing our minds leaving him for 6 days! She was very attentive to his needs regarding his allergies! I will always trust her with our baby!

Schedule
I have no other job aside from pet sitting, so I am free as a bird with an open and flexible schedule! I can easily adapt to your schedule and your pets’ needs. I also have military base access and I live just a few minutes from Altus Air Force Base, so it’s no issue at all for me if that’s where I need to come! I have been very grateful for my flexible schedule in times past when there have been unexpected pet needs that require further care and attention. You can rest in knowing that I will never leave an issue unresolved, and that I have the flexibility to leave on moments notice to take a sick or injured pet to the vet in the event of an urgent situation if need be.
