Pet care experience

A genuine animal lover!

I’ve grown up with pets all my life! Whether that was my 150 pound Newfoundland, Sophie, or my 8 pound kitty, Baby. I understand that each pet has their own quirks and personalities, so I love getting to know them and their needs so that I can better love on them!

Carmen watched Remy and Lebron overnight and was fantastic from start to finish. She was extremely communicative and responsive, kept us updated, and was right on time for everything. She took wonderful care of both pets, they were happy and relaxed when we got back and the house was clean and tidy. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.

Carmen watched our 70lb pittie mix, Gherkin, and our apartment for 4 days, and I cannot reccomend her enough! She was beyond respectful of the space (the apartment looked like we had never left), and she took such good care of our dog. We are definitely neurotic dog parents, and left a ton of instructions for clarity, but Carmen took perfect care of our dog, and provided regular updates and photos. You couldn't ask for more of a house/dog sitter!

Carmen was great! It was the first time I left Wolf for more than a night and she made it easy. She was communicative and responsive and I came back to a happy healthy doggo. Would definitely book her again :)

Carmen was an amazing cat sitter for our 3 little kittens! She was super responsive and sent many photos and videos to keep us updated while we were away. She played with the cats and gave them lots and lots of attention - our boys absolutely loved her 💗 We definitely want to recruit Carmen again for housesitting and drop-in visits!

Carmen was terrific. Very conscientious with Max when she dog sat. Gave him medicine and took care of him. Thank you!
