Top-notch care & love for your pet!

Pet care experience

I've been a pet owner since the age of 6 (Whiskers, the hamster) and have loved taking care of animals ever since! Our family dog, Pepper, has been around for almost 15 years now and I recently got two cats of my own. Gabo (the orange one) was a kitten I rescued and brought back from Colombia, where I had been teaching English. Although I was evacuated at the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, I was lucky enough to get him back with me to the states :) truly one of my greatest accomplishments haha. HIGHLIGHTS: -Worked on Rover since 2017 (got locked out of old account, so this is my new profile) -Experience with dogs of all sizes, needs, and attitude. Same with cats and other small animals. -Can administer medication. -Experience caring for senior pets and puppies/kittens alike Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged pal soon!

Carmen was extremely communicative before and during my booking! She helped check on my cat, Klaus, at short notice over the holidays, which was a huge relief. She gave him lots of attention, followed the instructions I’d left, and made me confident Klaus was okay while I was away. Great job, and would recommend!

Carmen took excellent care of my senior cat, who can be quite frustrating! It was nice to spend a weekend away and know that my girl was getting such loving care.

Information Carmen G. would like to know about your pet

Before I take care of your pet, let me know a bit about their temperament, what makes them happy, what to avoid, and any particular behavior/instructions I should know about for your special guy or gal.

A typical day

A typical day involves doing what your pet loves! If that means long walks/ hikes and adventures in nature, awesome. If that means cuddling up and being chill, also great. I’m very versatile and will be happy to do whatever your pet prefers, whether that’s dog parks or snuggles :)
