At the moment, I am between employment, so I am taking the time to spend with my animals at home! It’s brings me great joy to give them the attention they deserve, and I thought that I would extend help to anyone else needing support for their pets while they are away.

Information Carmen L. would like to know about your pet

I definitely need to know how your pet interacts with other animals as well as humans. Any special care, I can likely accommodate, so please let me know about that, as well!

A typical day

My pets love to go outside and play together, watch TV (yes, they actually watch!), and play with toys! When the weather is warmer, we go on hikes :)

Pets

I love my (and all) pets!

Pet care experience

I’ve always had a special connection with pets. I believe in giving my pets the best life I can give. I love to train animals with positive reinforcement, love, and plenty of patience. My dog and I spend a lot of time together, and she gets love from the whole family. She is my world and my best friend. I also have some small critters that all get along with her. I also have four rescue cats! They’re all loved and cuddled often. Many people call my place “the zoo” because I have such an affinity for animals. All my animals are socialized so that they feel comfortable with people and other animals.

Carmen was good at communicating and asking questions. Our fur baby was happy to have her visit!

Carmen has been such a wonderful sitter for us. She has really put our mind at ease when we need someone to check in on our two dogs. She has great communication and understands their different personalities! We highly recommend Carmen if you are need of a pet sitter.
