Pet care experience

Active adventurer who loves dogs!

Greetings! I've grown up with adopted dogs and have raised one from a puppy to adulthood. My entire home is open to pups (human beds and furniture), but will adhere to any rules you have in your home. My neighborhood has a lot of kids and other dogs around, as well as large common areas for running around. Can administer medication via treats or orally. Have experience working with dogs on- and off-leash, as well as in packs. Will be able to transport pups in a roomy vehicle all around town and beyond. My daily schedule is pretty flexible, and I'm open to hosting pups in my house or dropping in at the comfort of your pup's own home. Tell me all about your furry friend. Hoping I can meet you and your companion soon!

I appreciate Carmen so very much! She was amazing with our older frenchie who struggles with anxiety. The pics and updates she sent were comforting and allowed us to enjoy our vacation away from our fur baby. Carmen was also so flexible with us in our pickup time due to a delayed plane. I highly recommend Carmen as a sitter for your fur baby family members.

Carmen is always an incredible dog sitter. She was so flexible and understanding when I needed to make changes to our reservation. She takes such great care of our little guy and is so great at communicating. 15/10, as always.

We were very pleased with Carmen! 10/10. She was organized, communicative, and took amazing care of our dog. She looked so happy in all of the pictures that Carmen sent and seemed very settled when we picked her up. We worried she wouldn’t want to leave ;) definitely recommend Carmen if you’re looking for a Rover!

Schedule

I have a very sporadic work schedule, so I'm home frequently during the weekdays and weekends, and typically am only gone from the home for about 5 hours if I have to be somewhere. I'm able to accommodate frequent walk and bathroom break schedules, have experience taking multiple dogs in my car to hiking trails and other adventure areas. When I'm available to work, I'll frequently be with your pet throughout the day and overnight.

Safety, trust & environment

While I do not have a fenced yard, I live in a quiet neighborhood with open grassy areas and safe sidewalks. Will frequently run into kids of all ages in the area, and they're very responsive to dogs of all temperaments. If in your home I'd like to know anything and everything to keep your pet safe and comfortable, if you have cameras indoors or outdoors, as well as anything else about your pet's routine.

A typical day

My dog and I love to wander around off-leash trails in the Missoula area; Blue Mountain, Tower Street, Pattee Canyon trails, and Jacob's Island Bark Park. I have a ton of squeaky and chewy toys at my house in case weather forces us inside.
