Pet care experience

I have always had a compassion for animals! I'm a mom! with a child under 6 years old. I care deeply and worry about anyone's pets in my care, and when not, especially the one i watch all the time. My background, I have experience with multiple dogs in one setting while working at a doggy daycare in couple of years ago. I am as well A cat Mommy to 3 domestic shorthairs! Overall, let my son and I take care of your kitties and doggies. (Have to be kid-friendly and will do meet & greets if he is not in school).

Carmen was SO incredible. It was our first time leaving our kitty alone and Carmen made us feel so so good about it all. When we got home, we could tell how well taken care of she was and it felt like she made new friends in Carmen and her son. Every visit, she shared photos, notes, and I could tell how much she truly cared. Will definitely rebook with Carmen and you should too! She’s amazing!

Carmen gave Remy and Linguini lots of love and attention while I was out of town, as well as being sure they had clean water and food always.

My cat Ash can be very skittish, but Carmen did great with him!
