Responsible young professional

Hello, I'm Carmen. I work in education and live in Queen Village. I am a dog lover with lots of experience. My family got our first dog, a rescue elkhound mix, when I was a freshman in high school. Additionally, I have been dog walking and sitting for the past few years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I absolutely love dogs and can't wait to meet yours! I have a driver's license and access to a car. Apart from our family dog, I have lived with a bird, guinea pig and bird in my house at various times. I am available for overnight dog sitting and dog walking. I am happy to provide references, and have worked with dozens of owners at this point.

Safety, trust & environment

As a dog sitter, I like to provide dogs with a sense of comfort. I follow whatever instructions the owner leaves in order to help the dog keep their routine. Also, I make sure to leave the home the way I found it! I clean up after myself, take in the mail/packages and contact the owner if anything is off.

A typical day

We can go on walks around the neighborhood, to a natural setting like the woods, park or beach, and of course, to the dogpark! (If your dog gets along well with other dogs)
