Pet Care-12 Years of Tail-Wagging Experience
I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter who finds walking my dogs to be the most relaxing part of my day. I share my home with two well-socialized dogs: a 12-year-old miniature Yorkshire Terrier I raised from a puppy (calm, well-behaved, trained off-leash with reliable recall) and a 1-year-old Cockapoo — energetic, bouncy, and used to play and socializing. Because of this mix, I’m comfortable caring for both calm seniors and lively pups, and confident handling varied energy levels and play styles. I can adapt my schedule and walks to each dog’s needs — from long, energetic hikes (I regularly take long walks at Virginia Water Lake for dogs that need lots of exercise) to short, gentle strolls around the park five minutes from my home. Both of my dogs are friendly and happy to socialize and meet other dogs. Since childhood I’ve cared for stray dogs in my home country and frequently looked after friends’ dogs before getting my own. I prioritise safety, positive-reinforcement training, and socialization. Reliable, caring, and attentive, I’ll treat your dog like part of the family and make walks, playtime, and drop-ins stress-free and enjoyable.

Ratings and reviews
Carmen is a lovely dog sitter.. very welcoming and considerate. Daisy and Ruby had a lovely play date day. Ruby is currently resting… 😴… great for us. Thank - you 😄
I cannot recommend Carmen enough as a pet sitter! She took care of my dog, Oscar, last March. As a lifelong dog lover, Carmen truly understands the needs of our furry friends. Oscar came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to her ability to engage with him and provide the attention he deserves. She adapted her schedule to fit Oscar’s energy levels and gave him plenty of playtime. Carmen’s warm and caring nature, combined with her experience in positive reinforcement training, made me feel confident leaving my pet in her hands. If you're looking for someone reliable and loving to care for your dog, Carmen is the perfect choice!

A typical day
A typical day with your dog will be filled with fun activities to keep them engaged. We'll start with a morning walk , in the park that is just next to my house or a long walk At Virginia Water Lake , depends what is the habit or need of your furry . After that we can play home with different toys dog puzzle or balls in the garden or in the house . After all this for sure they need a nap :). If is a hot day , i have a pet pool ( check my photos ) where i place different toys into the water and is really fun for them to fish the toys :)) and to play with the water . If your pet is used to have a lunch walk , we can have that in the neighbourhood or in the park. Having my own pets , all 3 of them is so easy to entertain them .If your pet has special needs or special habits , the activities can be done around that too . In the evening between 6PM-8 PM will be the last walk , again at the Lake or the park next to my house. After we get home , the door of the house will be always open till bed time , so they can play with each other but also go in the garden if they need.
