Theatre Artist and Dog Lover Working from Home

Pet care experience

I have been passionate about caring for dogs for over 15 years. In addition to having pets of my own (my furry friend died few years ago), I have volunteered at dog shelters for several years and I am currently employed at DOA as a volunteer, an animal shelter located in Amsterdam (https://www.doamsterdam.nl/) where I work with shelter dogs. During my time at DOA, I have received extensive training on how to properly walk dogs, including leash manners and using positive reinforcement techniques. I have also gained experience handling different types of dogs, including those with behavioral issues such as aggression and anxiety. I take great pride in providing a safe and comfortable environment for all dogs in my care. I believe that every dog deserves to be treated with love and respect, and I strive to provide them with the attention and care they need to thrive.

Carmen was a great sitter for Mario. She let us come meet her and see her place before booking in. Once away she provided us with with daily updates and took great care of Mario. Would definitely book Carmen again!

Carmen was absolutely amazing! We had tons of updates, excellent communication all-around, and when we got back, I could tell that Scout had had a good time-he was relaxed and happy. I couldn't recommend Carmen highly enough.

Carmen is simply amazing and was so good with our rescue Madeleine. We couldn't ask for a better person to watch our crazy pupper. Thanks Carmen!!!

Carmen is great. She does a very good job in taking care of our dog. Making sure she understands his needs and that he is comfortable away from home. A fun, kind, flexible and reliable dogsitter!

A typical day

I consider my furry friends individual needs and preferences. Some dogs may be more active than others, while some may prefer a quieter pace. I will communicate with pet owners to offer activities suitable for their pets. Examples as below: Fun Activities: - Play fetch or tug-of-war with a toy or ball - Teach them new tricks or obedience commands - Go for a swim in a dog-friendly body of water - Play in a sprinkler or kiddie pool on a hot day - Go for a run or jog together - Take them to a dog-friendly café or restaurant for a treat - Have a cuddle or grooming session Special Places to go on Walks: - Local dog parks, where they can play and socialize with other dogs - Nature reserves or hiking trails, where they can explore new sights and smells - Urban areas with interesting sights and smells, such as outdoor markets or art districts - Quiet residential areas with plenty of green space for walking and exploring
