I've known Carmella for 6 years. She is a KNOWN dog spoiler! I have a teacup Pomeranian (Fifi) and a Cocker Spaniel mix (Sylvia). I am active duty Navy- and she's the only person I'd ever leave my babies with. I've been on back-to-back deployments since 2014 (currently in UAE). My babies LOVE her!! Sylvia was a little depressed and "un-trainable" and had some very strange habits. Carmella spent countless hours to both babies, and with the love and attention she dedicated, both are happy, obedient, and thriving. I'm a dog lover- but I've never met anyone as gentle and patient all the time with any dog-personality. I always tease her for giving my babies bottled water. When her chihuahua was very old and sick, the vets suggested euthanizing him. Carmella would have no parts got so in it. She took off work to keep his medicine schedule to the second, she found creative ways to give him medicine that he refused to eat (cooked and hid it in his favorite dish), and never ever gave up on him. I NEVER write reviews- but calling Carmella responsible, loving, and the best person on the planet to care for your puppies is an understatement!! When she told me she was thinking of caring for dogs, I just smiled- because I dont know why no one thought of it before. She was made to love and care for people AND pets- she's the sweetest person I know.
