Experienced Loving Animal Caregiver

Pet care experience

Ask me about my promo code! Dogs are my biggest passion and have always been a constant in my life - growing up with dogs fostered my love for animals. My passion for pet care landed me a job at Wimberley Kennel, a boarding and grooming facility where I was promoted to manager. This gave me the opportunity to have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, disabilities, and medical needs. Petsitting is my full-time job; this allows me to give dogs in my care the attention they deserve at all times. My flexible schedule allows for me to provide constant care for those who need it, and meet all my client's needs effectively. I have cared for blind dogs, dogs missing limbs, dogs with behavioral issues and/or bite histories, and dogs with intensive medication regimens - all with gentle, loving care. This includes walking, feeding, administering medications, cleaning, socializing, basic training, and grooming, which I have been certified for. I also both worked and volunteered my own time for Final Frontier - a rescue organization that saves dogs that would be otherwise euthanized due to aggression issues/bite histories due to previous abuse or neglect. This opportunity helped me gain experience in handling and rehabilitating aggressive dogs. After developing personal relationships with clients, I have been hired to walk dogs on a daily basis, care for cats, and house/pet sit for various clients, in addition to working at Big Dog Rescue Project. I am open to working with all breeds and sizes of dogs and cats. I primarily work with big dogs, but I have experience working with four-legged friends of all shapes and sizes - from retired Police dogs to feral dogs picked up off the side of the highway. I believe my experience and passion for animal care makes me a great canditate to provide loving care for your fur baby, and I am willing to work with you and meticulously follow the prescribed routine for the health and well being of your pet.

Cary was so awesome with my pup Henry! She has a natural knack with animals and Henry took to her right away. She went out of her way to make daily pickup easy for me and always sent lots of pics and updates throughout the day. She was able get him to eat his food for her which can be a challenge sometimes and all-around treated him like the prince that he is ;) I would 100% recommend Cary for your animal-care needs and will use her again in the future for sure.

We are so thankful for Cary who has taken care of our Bernedoodle numerous times. She is so caring and keeps Aggie busy and exercised. Aggie just loves Cary and is always excited to see her which is the best testimony. Cary keeps us updated with pics and communicates well. She comes highly recommended!

Information Cary L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about your pet's personality, eating habits, and medical history, including any current and past medication your pet receives. I would also like to know about your pet's play style, daily routine, feeding routine, and social interaction preferences to make their stay with me, whether a drop-in visit, housesitting, or a walk, the most comfortable for your pet. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, I would like to know about any behavioral issues, such as food guarding/aggression, toy aggression, any bite history, or any instances of aggression that have happened, regardless how small. NOTE: Aggressive dogs are not excluded from my care. Because I have extensive experience dealing with dogs with bite histories and serious aggression problems, I am open to taking them on as a client. I would just like to discuss the details of the dog's behavior and any special needs with the client on a case to case basis. I have no breed preferences. I primarily work with big dogs, but I have experience working with all shapes and sizes, from retired Police dogs to feral dogs picked up off the side of the highway.

A typical day

I am willing to accommodate all of my client's requests. Some activities I offered for my client's pets in the past included long walks with distance requested by the client, dog park visits if the dog is up to date on health checks and vaccines, trips to the local lake in my vicinity if the dog likes swimming, plenty of socializing and playing fetch, etc., or playdates with other pets that have been vetted if requested by the owner. I am open to any activity requested by my clients. I also update with photos and videos on a daily basis at the minimum, but will send more often, or none if requested.

I petsit full-time, so I will be avaible to care for your fur baby at all times. I am well versed in dog language, and am confident that with my experience and patience I can foster a comfortable, loving environment for dogs of any shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. Once dogs are dropped off, I will let them sniff around and become accustomed to their new environment. I always let the dog take the lead, and do things at their own pace. Once the dog seems comfortable, we will go for our first walk - not only to burn some energy, but to show your fur baby where we will be walking during their stay. Dogs in my care get four walks a day, not including a quick potty break right before bed and first thing in the morning. Two of these four walks are a minimum of 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on factors such as breed, energy level, heat tolerance, and weather. The exercise schedule can definitely be adjusted to the owner's liking. Feeding schedule is based on owner's instructions as well. Finally, dogs are allowed up on the couch and up in bed to sleep with me! That is of course, if they are allowed at home. I wouldn't want anyone going home acting naughty!
