I'm currently building a business as a realtor. I grew up in Southern California, and lived in Alabama for 21 years, where I was a French professor. I moved to El Dorado Hills in 2023 to be near family. Four generations of my family, from my mom down to my four-year-old grandson, live in the Sacramento area. I love pets, and I'd love to help you with yours when you're on the road.

Information Carmen M. would like to know about your pet

It's important to me to know personality types, although those are generally quickly ascertained. Is your cat fond of pets or no? I respect a dog or cat's need (or lack of need) for pets, hugs, kisses. But if your pet loves these, I'll provide.

A typical day

I'm a realtor, so I spend most of my day responding to or helping clients, or looking for new ones! This means my schedule is very flexible. I entertain our cats with cat toys (they like different toys--every cat has her own thing). My dog doesn't chase balls but if yours does, I'm game! Dog park, neighborhood walk, stroll around the lake in Town Center. I'm flexible.

Pet care experience

I grew up with Afghan hounds, so dogs have been a part of my life forever. We adopted our first rescue, Jazzy, in 2015. We have adopted adult cats and kittens. I usually remember pet names before I remember human names when I meet somebody new. I can do in-home boarding for a cat or small dog/puppy if they can get along with our kitten. Otherwise I can come to your home and tuck your fur babies in and greet them early in the morning. Please reach out to discuss. During the day, I am available to walk your dog, feed and play with your pets, and provide all kinds of TLC. Call me!

Carmen and her daughter made us feel so reassured our puppy was in the best hands on her first vacation. Carmen gave our high maintenance pup lots of love and us updates with photos, videos and updates. Our puppy loved them right away and was so happy during her vacation. Carmen reinforced our puppy’s training and gave her so many walkies that our puppy already misses her vacation with Carmen! Carmen treated our pup like her own, taking her on car rides and letting her sleep on her bed. We highly recommended Carmen!

C has been such a blessing for our family. She is so trustworthy, reliable, and always shows up when expected. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and our dogs love her too. I couldn’t recommend her more.

C is a caring, mature, and compassionate pet owner and sitter. She has more than two decades of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and she has taken care of them in all stages of life. I would without a doubt trust her to care for my animals; she pays close attention to their needs and makes sure they're comfortable, happy, and amused, whether that means taking a walk, playing with a toy, or relaxing beside her on the sofa!

I have known Carmen for approx. 40 years and she is one of the kindest, most responsible and ethical people I know. In addition to being completely trustworthy w/ anyone's home/property, she has a genuine connection to animals. She's had both dogs and cats on and off since childhood, and is very in tune w/ their needs and w/ their safety -- and they will no doubt get plenty of affection!
