About: I love spending time with all animals! I have lived with small (exotic) animals and dogs my entire life. I ten to focus on the pets comfortability and preferences when spending time with them. I can give baths, brushing, and nail trimming as needed for dogs! I currently am working with the animals when I am not working! I am currently taking a step back from full time grooming and have open availability for your pets! I love playing with animals and doing mini training sessions. I would not consider myself a trainer but do great with positive reinforcement for ideal behaviors and small tricks!


“Carrie is FANTASTIC! She is so sweet and kind to our Scout! He was happy to see Carrie come back and that gives me peace of mind. I’ll definitely be asking Carrie for help in the future!”

About: I foster dogs of all ages from Spots Last Stop and have owned my Australian cattle dog/lab mix since I rescued him in Florida 5 years ago. I have trained him extensively myself, with over 25+ commands including being off leash trained, knowing his lefts and rights, and “protect” position. I have years of pet sitting experience, including watching my grandparents foster dogs (up to 5 large breeds at a time, including 180 pound big boy mastiffs!) ***Please reach out if you need last minute bookings or accommodations during the week, things may be arranged*** I work full time in project management for a biotech company but only live 3 minutes from my office and have great flexibility with coming and going as needed. I also am available most weekends and can discuss longer trips as needed I have a friendly resident dog who has done well with every foster I’ve had. He is very good at respecting a dogs space and will not instigate or initiate play. I do not have a fenced yard, but with a high energy breed, I do walk him on average 2-4 miles a day around the neighborhood or through trails and practice sniff work outside and inside to keep him exercised and stimulated and your dog is welcome to come along 😊 I can also do in-your-home sitting if they need more one-on-one time or do not get along with other dogs!

About: I've grown up caring for three dogs at once in a busy household, so I’m no stranger to managing multiple pets with love and attention. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m especially confident with dog walking and making sure every pup gets the care, exercise, and attention they need. I’m currently working part time at cub so I’ll need to schedule around that but other than that I’ll be free most of the time. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and keep your home clean and secure.

About: Hi! I’m a dog-loving mom of two kids and one amazing 11-year-old yellow lab. She's the sweetest, most loyal companion—and a soon to be retired hunter who’s now more into snuggles than sprints. Since she's slowing down, I’d love to share my energy and love of fitness by taking your dog out for walks, runs, and mini adventures! I walk year-round in all kinds of weather and believe every dog deserves fresh air, exercise, and a little fun. Whether your pup needs a brisk jog, a leisurely stroll, or just some one-on-one attention, I’m here to help them stay happy and healthy. Let’s get those tails wagging! I work part time and during my work day I do travel around the south metro and can squeeze in walks through my day when in the area. But also can be available mornings and evenings. I will care for your dog as I would my own, with love, compassion, and attentiveness. I will uphold safety and security instructions to keep your pet and home safe while you’re away.

About: I have two cats myself. Cheeto is 15 years old and Luna is 3 years old. I enjoy training my cats to learn tricks and love watching them learn and grow! I am currently available Monday - Sunday any time of the day. I would love to be able to keep your pet company while you are busy with work, trips, family emergency. I am very patient with my pets and others. I understand being new to someone can make our pets feel nervous. I'm willing to take the time to allow our pets to open up and be loved!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and deep, unwavering love for animals of all kinds. For six years, I was the premier Bengal cat breeder in the Midwest, collaborating with UC Davis to develop advanced health and genetic testing protocols aimed at improving the breed’s well-being. Having cared for Bengals for the past 11 years, I currently share my home with Evie, a classic brown female, and Ivar, a seal lynx snow male. Bengals are known for their high energy and spirited personalities—often called “the Huskies of the cat world”—so I’m well-versed in handling unique and notoriously challenging cat and dog breeds. In addition to Evie and Ivar, I have my sweet 3-lb Pomeranian, Gigi, a tiny angel who’s as calm and docile as they come. From 2021–2025, I also lived with and cared for Loki, a 55-lb Pomsky—a big, vocal energizer bunny on steroids velcro dog. Whether your companion is a high-energy adventurer or a laid-back lap snuggler, I’m equally at home with both My love for animals extends far beyond just pets. I’ve cared for everything from rats and cockatiels as a child to ravens, bats, and opossums as an adult. I’m deeply passionate about wildlife conservation and ethical breeding practices, advocating for health-conscious, responsible breeding across all pet species. As an active member of the Midwest Bengal Rescue community, I also offer my support to displaced Bengals when needed. If you're looking for a sitter who truly understands and adores all animals—domestic and wild—I’m the one to care for your pets! I am fairly flexible with work, usually the standard 9-5 M-F I need to be on my laptop or running around to on site meetings but can do drop around my meetings for visits. For overnight pet sitting I am only available from 6pm to 6am M-Th and anytime on the weekends (see my calendar availability). I do not currently offer pet sitting services or host any pets in my own home- I have two cats and a small dog already and can’t add any more animals per my lease agreement.

About: I have been around dogs most of my life, rescuing two in the past 10 years. Mila is currently my only pup but she's my mate, and we do everything together. We share our house with many dogs! At any given time, we will have 3 other dogs in our house, and have co-fostered two dogs in the past. We have some great trails nearby and love to walk. We socialize at the local dog parks, and play off-leash. I have a fenced in yard, so my pup and all her friends can play outside without worry. We believe in love and affirmation, positive reinforcement and do not discipline with fear or negative enforcement. I work from home 100% and can view the backyard from my office. I usually take any dogs who are willing and able to go and ready to go for a walk every morning with the sunrise. As far as walking goes, my flexibility allows fof me Pets in my house are treated like family. We have scheduled eating times in the morning and night, no grazing. All dogs carry an additional tag with my contact information .
