Home Full-Time Dog & Cat Care

I provide loving, reliable dog and cat care in Pasadena and am home full-time, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I’ve lived with both dogs and cats for many years and am comfortable caring for different personalities from playful pups to senior pets and shy cats. I offer boarding, doggy daycare, dog walking, and drop-in visits, and I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and play or cuddle preferences. I’m especially patient with nervous or shy pets and take the time to build trust at their pace. Whether your pet loves long walks, interactive play, or cozy nap time, I adapt to what makes them happiest. I give every pet the attention they need and you can expect frequent photo and video updates during their stay. If you’re looking for a calm, attentive sitter who’s genuinely excited to care for your dog or cat, I’d love to meet you and your furry family member.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 26, 2026

Carmen is the best! My dog seemed so happy with her (and she takes the best photos)! She was kind, attentive, prompt, and seemed to truly care about my baby! She’s the ideal dog whisperer; I cannot recommend Carmen enough!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 13, 2026

Carmen was awesome with watching Rocket. Great communication and lots of photos. I'm from out of town so I'm bummed she can't be more of a regular sitter for my pup! I will definitely ask her next time I need a sitter here.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 30, 2026

Carmen is the most amazing puppy sitter! She follows our daily schedule for Frankie which includes meals, potty routine, light gentle play, naps, and training! I am so lucky to have her care for my Frankie. It’s so hard for me to trust anyone with an 3mo old puppy and Carmen immediately proved how caring and attentive she is. I receive photos, videos, and updates that keep my mind at ease while during my long shifts at work.

Doggy Day Care • May 07, 2025

Carmen was great to provide regular updates and pictures for us. She walked our pup multiple times during the day and was super responsive, would definitely use her again.

Carmen took care of my 3 cats, Mocha, Latte and Oreo while my husband and I were away on a trip in December 2024. It's obvious she loves animals and she showered our fur babies with lots of affection. She made sure they were fed on time and had plenty of play time everyday. She checked in often with pictures and kept us updated routinely. There's no one I trust more with our cats. I highly recommend her for any pet owner!

Carmen is one of the most trustworthy caretakers I’ve ever known, she took care of my 3 cats ensuring that they were adequately fed, played with, and showered with love. She makes sure to take the time to play with them, give them treats, and make them feel as if they were her own pets. I truly believe she is by far the best person to go to with caring for them properly and I will continue to ask her to take care of my babies whenever I need her assistance and I know you will also be able to as well

Safety, trust & environment

I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I keep things cozy and safe, with lots of room for play, rest, and snuggles. Your pet will always be treated like family.

A typical day

For dogs, I take them on potty breaks and short walks with me. Cats are given quiet time or play, depending on their personality. I supervise all pets, provide lots of love, enrichment, and cuddles, and send photo updates to owners throughout the day.
