Pet care experience

Your dog will miss me when I leave

I’ve taken care of dogs since the day I was born. I’ve grown up around hunting dogs and cared for a dog with severe health issues including epilepsy. I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me.

My dogs ran our household, one of my dogs was missing a leg and still needed to play frisbee and run every day. I like to stay active with my dogs and my clients’ as well!

Carter is amazing! I think Rosie and Koda were sad when we came home! He always responded quickly and dogs were happy and healthy! Always recommend him, but don’t want him so busy I can’t book him!

Carter was absolutely amazing. We usually have taken our dogs to Camp. But we had grandbabies being born and business trips. Reviewed bios, met Carter and Rosie and Koda took to him instantly! He is attentive, responsive and responsible and an all around lover of dogs! I didn’t want to leave a review because I don’t want him to not be available next time Rosie and Koda need a big brother to watch him! We loved him!

Carter took great care of my boys. They aren’t the easiest (one doesn’t like strangers or other dogs and the other has separation anxiety and both are big and needy) but from the moment he met them, they were buddies. He left the house in clean and kept me informed on how they were doing while I was away. Will definitely book with him again and we are so thankful we found him.

Carter never disappoints! We finally have peace of mind when we must travel. Our dogs love him and we can relax and enjoy our time away! Hate to recommend him because he may get too busy when we need him! Just kidding. He is great!

Carter watched our 3 standard poodles in our home while we went away for a week. As an over protective dog mom, my list was looooong and specific. He didn’t flinch. We also have an aviary of birds that requires feeding and monitoring and he handled that with ease. His knowledge of poisonous cane toads and bloat was comforting for me as I am a worry wart when it comes to my dogs. He sent regular pictures and communicated really well. We came home to a clean house with everything in its place. We would highly recommend Carter and would use him again if we go out of town for an extended period of time.
