Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12, both my own and friends and some neighbour's throughout the years. I’ve been able to walk, feed, bathe and babysit. Im a stay at home mom with one little and I’m up early to walk my own dog and I’m available mostly all day during the week and all day on the weekends! I have a large fenced yard and one very friendly dog to keep your fur babies company! I can easily crate and transport your dog if need be!

I am giving one star because Carmella watered my outdoor plants and picked some of my raspberries as requested. As far as caring for my dog, we are extremely disappointed by what happened. We met with Carmella 3 days before the trip to discuss our expectations. As she was leaving, I asked about work. She said she had to work Friday unexpectedly plus four hours on Saturday. I had told her it was OK to leave the pets for a couple of hours but was surprised she hadn't mentioned Friday. I arranged for my neighbour let the dog out to pee Friday mid day, which she did. On Saturday at 5 pm our neighbour called us to see if she should let Max out. Carmella left the house early Saturday morning and had not returned. At that point we started using our driveway security camera to track Carmella’s time at the house, and it was corroborated by our neighbour. I then texted Carmella who said she was just coming back from the beach with her son. My neighbour said the vehicle was not there (we live very close to the beach). Carmella pulled in about 30 minutes later, no child in sight. She took Max for a quick walk and then left again. Our camera showed her return between 9:30pm and 10pm. Sunday morning she was gone by 7:30. Though we had booked her until 4pm, we cut our visit short and we're home by 12:05. Carmella was not there and showed up at 2:00, saying she was just coming back from dropping off her son. I said she’d be gone since 7:30. She claimed she left at 8:30 and said something about falling asleep. The fact was she left Max locked in the house from 7:30 until 2:00. She left a senior, arthritic dog, who had recently lost his companion of 12 years, alone in the house without the ability to relieve himself on Saturday and Sunday. Whatever her excuses may be, you cannot tell me that looking after our pets was a priority. I requested a partial refund but have not heard back from her.

Carmella was a gem! She’s an amazing person and she helped us BIG time when we needed to head out of town. She took care of our dog and cat. We ended up having to extend our trip an extra day and she was understanding about it all. Highly recommend her for any pet needs!
