Veteran invested in pet care!

Pet care experience

Thanks for popping in! I now use rover for side gigs! I work Monday - Friday from 8am to about 4pm, but I’m off on weekends! -I have lived with cats and dogs, I generally pet sit for roommates for free so I have plenty of experience with that. -I've also volunteered in no kill shelters for an accumulated 6 years! -I worked at dogtopia and often washed dogs, clipped nails, and brushed teeth on top of the basic task of watering, feeding, crating, and playing with the dogs. -I can easily continue whatever training you've instilled in your dog. Strict on a no jumping policy? No fur on furniture? Sit before entering or leaving the house? No mouth/hand contact? I can enforce all of that and more in my time with your lil fur baby. I'd like to specify that I am not a certified dog trainer. These are things I've picked up along the way. This goes hand in hand with my respect for how you interact with your dog! - My mother works long hours as a nurse and I help out by taking care of our family dog, Dulce a small shihtzu in her silver years. She's my little old lady. She gets two to three 30+ minute walks a day. With her old age come old people problems. She has a bad back and occasionally requires pills for the pain so I give her those along with eardrops for the occasional ear infection. -I care for two cats, one of which is on a weight loss diet I have a strong love for cats AND dogs! I adore animals and I hope you give me the opportunity to meet your furry family members! It would be an honor and a privilege to provide a secure and satisfying service that leaves you smiling, your pup wagging, and your kitten purring! I hope to hear from you soon!

This was Carmen's second time house-sitting and caring for our animals while we were away. This time it was for longer, but the moment she arrived we felt completely at ease knowing our animals would be well taken care of. Everything went smoothly while we were gone and our pup got lots of exercise while our cat had plenty of cuddles. Our animals love her! The house was spotless upon our arrival and she went over and beyond to make sure everyone was happy. We truly lucked out!

Carmen took wonderful care of our border collie mix. They became fast friends. Carmen is very east to work with and it’s clear she’s knowledgeable and loving towards pets. Would recommend!

Carmen is amazing!! It is so hard to find a sitter who we know will take great care of our animals and pay attention to their needs. Carmen was the perfect fit and our dog and cat loved their time with her. She was very communicative during her stay which was reassuring and sent along sweet pictures. She also left our house as clean as we had it so it felt great coming back home and being able to relax! I would recommend her in a heartbeat :-)

Information Carmen C. would like to know about your pet

Allergies? Do they have a potty/feeding schedule? What's their favorite toy and treat? What's some rules you have in your home that you'd like me to enforce? Medications? Eating and/or drinking difficulties? No breed preferences! I love lil Chihuahuas and shitzus and pitbulls and Newfoundlands and great Danes and--- well I think you get the idea ?

A typical day

Does your dog love a little town trot? Wanna sniff all the stores and more? What about a nice park? Paw around listening to the sounds! I'll only go to a dog park if the parents are a ok with it, and after the dog(s) and I get familiar with each other . There will only be doggy play dates with owner approval. Lots of ball throwing and rag tugging will take place if the pup is up for it. I'm a champion at tug of war but I know when to let them win for morale purposes ?
