Gentle care for dogs
Hi! I’m Carmen, I am I life-long animal lover and I specialize in caring for small, medium and senior, or low-energy dogs who thrive in a slow-paced, cozy environment. Whether your pup needs boarding or day care, they’ll get lots of one-on-one attention, walks, naps, and a calm daily rhythm. I only take one guest dog at a time to keep things peaceful and personal. I work from home, so I’m around to provide steady companionship, regular potty breaks, and lots of love throughout the day. What I Offer: • One guest dog at a time • Small/medium breeds or seniors only • Quiet, low-stress environment • Ideal for shy, anxious, or elderly dogs • Frequent photo updates • Quick communication • Lots of attention I would love to meet your pup and help them feel right at home. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to see if we’re the right fit!

Ratings and reviews
Carmen was amazing. Every morning she’d send updates and pictures of Miso.
We love Carmen! She is so kind and patient with our dog Scotty who definitely needs a special kind of care with his classic chihuahua tendencies and personality!
Carmen was accomodating and amazing in carving for our dog, Vicki. She sent me pictures and updates which was very thoughtful. Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you for walking Angel today!!
Carmen is great. Long story, but my dog was sick and we needed to pivot to make sure Carmen’s dog wasn’t exposed. Changed boarding to drop in. We’re still waiting for Rover to step up on the change of plans, so no ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for them. Highly recommend Carmen! Though!
Carmen is a fantastic caretaker. I totally trust her to care for my dog as though she were Carmen’s own.

Schedule
I work from home, so I’m able to give lots of attention throughout the day. My schedule is consistent, which creates a relaxed environment for visiting dogs. Walks, meals, and cuddle breaks easily fit into my daily rhythm—and my chihuahua Cathy is always happy to have a friend around. Because I only take one dog at a time, each pup gets focused, attention in a peaceful setting.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I offer a safe space where dogs can relax. I keep the environment quiet and low-stress, with soft bedding, plenty of fresh water, walks, and companionship. If I’m caring for a pet in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure your pet feels secure and well cared for in their own environment. I follow feeding, walk, and medication instructions carefully, and I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
Pets
A typical day
I tailor each day to the dog’s energy level and personality. For mellow pups, that might mean slow walks around the neighborhood, plenty of cuddle time, and cozy spots for naps. I also offer play, brushing (if they enjoy it), and enrichment like snuffle mats or food puzzles to keep their minds engaged. I offer companionship and a routine that helps dogs feel safe, secure, and loved. Let me know if you want to include specific details about walk frequency, time outdoors, or activities with your dog Cathy!
