Veterinary and training background
Pet care experience
My preferred name is Carter (they/them). I am queer and non-binary. I have been training dogs of various ages and breeds for over 10 years. I currently have a multi-purpose service dog who I trained myself (but she typically stays with my parents during sittings and at home during drop ins/walks). I worked at a pet lodge for a year before working at a vet clinic from 20-21. I've been relied on to walk, train, and care for all types of animals. I know how to provide first aid and other basic medical care to your pets if an emergency arises (such as choking, seizures, and minor wounds). Additionally, I have worked with many young puppies and senior animals, as well as animals with medical conditions. I have experience with both exotic animals and livestock. I am also able to provide grooming including but not limited to nail trims, bathing, clipping, and blow outs. I always like to start off with establishing a good relationship with you and your pet(s). My goal is to make your pet as happy as possible. I like to provide mental stimulation on top of exercise, so that they can get out any energy while also working their brain. I also want to note that I do my best to provide services at a reasonable rate with my level of knowledge and experience. If you are struggling with finances or my rates are not currently feasible for you, don't hesitate to reach out and we can try to work something out!
Reviews
We adore Carter! They do an excellent job with our aging and special needs dog and made us much more at ease knowing he was in good hands. We highly recommend them!!
Carter did a fantastic job taking care of my two senior cats and their various medical needs. They were responsive with sending me updates and photos, and very clearly loved my cats while I was gone. I'd recommend Carter for future visits!
Carter was very responsive and flexible during our somewhat chaotic trip up north. We appreciate the photos they sent and the updates they gave, as well!
Carter has been great! It's our first time using rover for our reactive dog, and Carter has been super patient with our questions and taking things at our speed. They are great at communicating and making sure we feel comfortable. Thank you Carter!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat your pets like they are family. I always make sure to monitor any potential health or safety concerns. I also do my best to leave your home cleaner than when I arrived.
Information Mickenzi B. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know breed, age, training, and any special needs or behavioral issues your dog may have. I'm experienced with many situations and dogs, I want to make sure that your dog enjoys their time with me, as much as I do.
A typical day
I love to get your dog's brain working, we will visit new areas, play lots of games, and get all of the sniffs in. Exercising their brain and their body is one of my main goals.

Availability
I am now working full time (7a-3p) which means I will be taking more limited pet care opportunities. I am available most evenings and weekends. I will also be available a large portion of the summer (working at most part time). I will still take occasional pet sittings during the week (M-F) if your pet is used to being alone full workdays/longer hours. Please message me if you'd like to discuss more to see if I'd be a good fit for your pet(s).
