Trustworthy & Reliable

I have had animals my entire life. You can say I am a natural animal lover and so are my children. For the past 7 years I fostered for bullmastiffs and loved it. I quit fostering because we moved to Iowa. I still have my own animals. I have 2 dogs of my own. They are treated like my children SPOILED rotten. We have plenty of land and a pond for my fur babies to run. I do live rural so we are not in city limits.

I believe Rayna truly enjoyed her stay, she is exhausted!! I never worried about her and Carmen sent great updates keeping us informed of her stay!

Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.

First time we have used Rover, we definitely will use Carmen again. Cooper loved his time spent at her house. It was such a relief knowing he’d get loved on while we were away…

Schedule

I work from home, which is great because I am available around the clock and I am home 95 percent of the time. I am an early riser 7 days a week. I take my dogs out 1st thing when I get up and then feed and water them when we get back in the house and through out the day they go outside and play and run around to burn all that energy off. I am here to care for all pets needs at any given time.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a fenced in yard but I have plenty of play yard that would fit any fur babies needs with a pond. If not trained I can walk on a leash on our trails. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
