Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
Great communication!
Carmen is incredible! We have two reactive dogs and two cats and Carmen handled all of their idiosyncrasies with creativity and grace. In part, this involved getting daily medication into a dog who doesn’t come anywhere near strangers, as well as making sure she went out for potty breaks (which can also be a struggle with her). Carmen truly went above and beyond in numerous ways and I just can’t recommend her strongly enough!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for a beloved elderly dog! Carmen sent us lots of updates and we could tell that Maddy was having a great time. Can’t wait to use Carmen again!
So grateful to Carmen for taking such good care of my two dogs over Christmas while we were out of town! I can tell they received plenty of play and love, and they are needy when it comes to both! She gave us daily updates and pictures to put our mind at ease. Not to mention when our flights were delayed, she was more than accommodating in coordinating a new pickup. I know my girls would love to see her again in the future!!

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.

Information Carmen E. would like to know about your pet
Is your pet a early bird or a night owl? Do they prefer to eat on their own or can they chow down with the rest of the pack? Any special toys to either cuddle or destroy? How are your pets with kids?
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.

Availability
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.
