Arms never tire giving belly rubs!
Pet care experience
I regularly petsit for my coworkers, juggling rambunctious pups/kittens, dogs-in-training, aging canines who need to move at their own pace, picky eaters, pooches with attachment and anxiety issues, and animals needing medication at the same time. I'm always the first (often only!) person they want to have petsit, because they know I love their animals just as much as they do. I send plenty of update pics of our walks, belly rubs, training reinforcement, and cuddle sessions on the couch and have been known to spend 10 minutes giving belly rubs at 4 in the morning after waking up to use the bathroom because I couldn't say no to those begging bellies. My weekends are Tuesday-Wednesday and I am happy to housesit throughout the week.
Reviews
Quick response and able to help out in a pinch. Will keep in mind for future walks.
She kept me well informed each day on how the two boys were doing and sent lots of pictures. She was also very accommodating to our needs on when we needed her to be here, which was at 3 am due to our flight.
Carmelita is an excellent pet sitter. From her introduction to my pets to the actual pet sitting Carmelita displayed responsibility, compassion, and excellent communication with me. During the introduction to the pets, Carmelita asked thoughtful, detailed questions about how to provide the best care possible to my pets on a daily basis. She asked about feeding and walking schedules; She even went with me on walk with my dog, Luna to see the path I take and how to handle Luna on the walks. While pet sitting Carmelita sent me pictures and text updates at least twice a day. If the pets did something cute or funny she sent a text message about their behavior. That effort let me know that the pets were happy with the care she was providing. Of course, when I came home from my trip my dog and three cats all seemed happy, relaxed, and in good condition. I highly recommend Carmelita as a pet sitter.
Carmelita is a great dog sitter! She is attentive, caring, and responsible. She has been my primary dog sitter for the past year. I'm grateful for the care and compassion she extends to my pup. Bonus: she sends lots of picture updates! :)

Skills
Information Carmelita R. would like to know about your pet
I like to know their habits and quirks, what I should look out for or be concerned about (if anything), and what their normal routine is like (breakfast time, first walk time, special treats time, etc)
A typical day
I love walking dogs at one of the parks here if your dog is comfortable with car rides, especially if they are okay with other dogs and the park has a dog park and we can all get some play time in. Regardless of whether its at the dog park, backyard, or house, there will be plenty of play time! I love running with dogs too if they're athletic or super high energy. I like reinforcing training with young dogs and challenging them to learn new tricks.
