Pet care experience

Love all types of animals!

Hi my name is Carmen I enjoy working and being around dogs. I have had experience taking care of animals, I have sheltered three stray cats and I have previously owned a dog. I am very energetic and enjoy long walks. I have a fenced yard and would play outside with the pups when the temperature allows it. You know how random the Chicago weather can be! I would like to take care of both dogs and cats of any age. I prefer to walk/board small or medium sized dogs, but I am willing to service a larger dog if they are more on the calmer/friendly side. During boarding and Daycares I give updates to pet parents at least every 2-4 hours, or anytime the pet parents are most comfortable with. Please feel free to contact me with any question you may have about my services. Thank you, Carmen

Carmen was absolutely lovely in taking care of our pup! She bonded easily and well with her from the start, so our dog had no problem separating the evening we boarded her with Carmen. Carmen is timely, professional, friendly, and kind. We are able to take comfort in leaving our pet in Carmen's care!

Carmen took great care of my dogs. One of my dogs needs 3 meds twice day, and she handled that with no problem. I would use her again.

I’m so grateful I found this kind couple. My senior dog can be somewhat grumpy and likes to sleep a lot. They were understanding and let him curl up in his blanket. I received updates and pictures. They let me know he was eating and going for walks and were responsive in a very timely manner when I asked how he was doing. I highly recommend them and would use them again to care for my dog.

Carmen and Jesus did a wonderful job with dog sitting. We had a last-minute emergency and needed help and they were there for us. When there were any problems, they immediately notified us and had a solution. They kept us updated during our trip. Our little guy came back happy and healthy.
