Lifelong Dog Owner!

Pet care experience

I come from a family that has owned (and still owns) several dogs. From tiny ten pound pups to 120+ pound breeds, from the months old to the fifteen year old, I’ve been around to help take care of all of them. I’ve been taught the responsibility it takes to look after pets, including taking them out, cleaning up after them, feeding and watering them, and engaging in the quality time they need. I’ve never met a dog I don’t love, and I think that’s important. I hope to make your pet feel as if their owner isn’t even gone. That’s the kind of love and respect I would offer through my services. I have been pet sitting for 5 years now for friends and family, and I have experience giving dogs medicine, taking them out, and even some training experience, teaching my own dogs how to sit, shake, lie, and a couple of other fun tricks. I also take COVID precautions very seriously. I always mask in public places, and if you want me to mask while visiting your home and pet, I am more than willing to do that as well. I always carry hand sanitizer with me and I have Lysol wipes that I am constantly wiping down surfaces and objects that I've touched.

Carson is great with our two big dogs! This is our second time having Carson stay with our dogs while we were out of town. He takes such good care of Duke and Tucker! Highly, highly recommend Carson!!!

Carson is the best! He saved our vacation and took amazing care of our two big dogs! So, on our first day of a long vacation abroad our house sitter turned out to be somewhat of a flake. He wasn’t walking the dogs and when a neighbor checked on them, he decided to leave. The stress of this situation was unbelievable. I have nothing but praise for Rover’s Trust and Safety Team who found a replacement sitter for us while we were away! The Trust and Safety Team hired Carson and although he never met us, our dogs, or had been in our home, he stepped in and provided the best care we’ve ever had! Carson is THE BEST! We’ve already hired him for an upcoming trip and words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for the love and care he gave to Duke and Tucker!

Carson was wonderful! Took great care of our cat and sent lots of photos. Spent time with him and played with him in addition to making sure he was well fed. Thank you Carson!

Carson was amazing with my picky and very skittish cats. He sent lots of photos and status updates and was very responsive when messaging. Thanks so much for watching Nadia and Brioche!

A typical day

We love to go to the dog park. I have a lot of toys to play fetch and tug of war with. We also live in a great area that we can go on long walks in, if the weather permits! The elevators in my building are fully functional, so if your dog can't take the stairs, there is no need to worry!
