Safety, trust & environment

In your home I am comfortable and confident in my abilities taking your dogs out for walks on leashes, or leaving them out in the backyard to get some movement. I can stay and play for a while as needed to give them attention. I have a loving pit-mix at home. If our dogs got along we could potentially plan on having your pet come stay with us for a week/weekend! Additionally, we do have enough space (2 level home), a crate, and a fenced in yard so we can accommodate having another dog who does not get along with other dogs.

Information Carmen M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any behaviors or tendencies your dog has before booking. I don’t mind jumping or excited protective barks, but would like to know about things like how they act with other dogs/people and what commands they respond best to.

A typical day

I’ll take your dogs on many walks around the neighborhood so they can smell all the smells and see all the things. We can play with their favorite toys to keep them engaged throughout my visit. I’d love to take them to any nearby dog parks they enjoy going to to check them out for myself and see if my dog Spud would fit in too!

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting and house sitting for 1+ days at a time for about 11 years. I treat every home with respect and all pets as my own. I love bonding with and meeting new animals! Each family I've sat for has called me back to sit for them again! Additionally, I have met many new doggos when babysitting in new family's homes. I always treat the pets just as well as the kiddos, giving them lots of love and behind the ear scratches. My family has always had dogs and I've loved dogs of all breeds since I was a little girl.

Carmen was very reliable for the drop in visits. I received lots of pictures during the visits and detailed messages. Would highly recommend Carmen for any sitting or walking opportunities.

Carmen is one caring son of a gun. She is kind, smart, and known in our social circle as “the mom of the group”. Her kind, nurturing spirit make her a very capable, and wonderful caregiver to dogs. You should feel very safe trusting your dog in Carmen’s paws. She encourages dogs to have fun and will be sure to play with them and give them the attention they need and deserve.

Carmen is a responsible and loving dog caregiver. She really enjoys taking care of dogs and is such a dog lover! She has helped me many times with my good boy Spud whether it was feeding him or taking him on a walk. She is never late and always sends great picture updates! Hire her you won’t regret it!!
