I had an excellent experience working with Carmen. She made my pup feel right at home. I could tell when I picked him up he had been well cared for and was very content. Carmen was very receptive to specific requests or care that was unique to my dog’s needs and personality traits. She was also in touch with me during his stay, sent pictures and receptive to messages. I will absolutely be using her again! Recommend!

Carmen and her son did an awesome job taking care of our girl. I could tell our dog was very happy and comfortable during her long stay. Carmen really gets it and understands all the nuances of navigating a nervous pet. She put her at ease right away. Would 100% board with Carmen again.

Carmen and her son took wonderful care of our very energetic Golden Retriever for a full week, and we could not have been more pleased. He had the best time and was so clearly loved and well cared for during his stay. Carmen was incredibly communicative, sending photos and updates throughout the week, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful for the care and attention they gave him and would absolutely trust them again.

Carmen is awesome. She sends lots of pictures. This was our dog’s first overnight stay in a different home from ours. Carmen gave him lots of love. Will be using her again soon!

Schedule

I work remotely so my schedule is more flexible and also means I’ll be home during day to give lots of attention to your four legged family members. This could be particularly helpful if your fuzzy one has separation anxiety or just needs extra love.

Safety, trust & environment

My neighborhood has dog park/many walking areas. Currently have small parrot in home that has his own cage in separated area. Dogs can stay on their favorite dog bed or hang out on the couch with my son and I. When i’m lucky, dogs will snuggle on my bed with me! I feel this is paramount: Above all else, I will follow your instructions on what to do and when/what to feed them. Your pet will not consume food that you didn’t bring. Unless that’s ok with you. It’s your prerogative, and I will be as strict or lenient as you would normally be with your fuzz ball. Please bring your crate if that’s their routine for when you’re away from home or during bedtime.

A typical day

Peek-a-boo with blankets of course! Tug of war! Rubbing/scratching bellies on dogs and for kitties definitely only where they deem the lowly sitter permissible to do so. Walking around neighborhood, playing with frisbee/tennis ball/toy in yard, and of course receiving treats when appropriate. Whatever is their favorite activity, just let me know, and I will make it happen. No skydiving though- I’m afraid of heights! They will get the loving care as if they were my own, minimizing the anxiety that they might experience due to the temporary absence of their family.

I’m a certified worrier so I can appreciate if you experience anxiety while you’re away. I treat my clients’ animals as though I were in their shoes. I update frequently and send many photos. You’re always welcome to contact me whenever if you want to check in for any reason. If your pet cannot have certain toys (i.e. toys with squeakers) please tell me. I do keep dog toys/balls/ropes in home. Please let me know what your pet needs to be relaxed and happy. Tell me ALL the weird quirks or objects that set them off in a good way or bad way. For example, my parrot attacks me every time I try to brush my hair and you don’t even want to know what he does when I try to use the hairdryer! Do they like to lay on their dog bed, hang out on the couch or hop on the bed? What is their typical potty and feeding schedule? Are they known for trying to squeeze through the front door? Are they OK with other dogs/people or should I avoid chance encounters while taking them on walks? This side job has given me a lot of happiness. I cannot wait to meet your furry friends!
