Pet care experience

Compassionate to all Animals

I provide dog walking, boarding, and sitter services during weekdays and/or weekends. I live in an apartment with a large unfenced front yard. However my neighborhood has 3-4 nearby, closed off dog parks nearby that I can take the pups to for socializing. I also have an 8 year old lab mix dog, we go on long walks 2-3 times a day (~30 minutes to 1-2 hours). Will play with dogs constantly to get out all of their energy. Preferably dogs that are crate trained. Will adapt to whatever kind of personality your pet has - accepting of all. Because I have a dog of my own, I am very keen on animal behavior - specifically, dog behavior - when walking dogs, I know when they will lunge at a car/dog/cat/squirrel before they lunge, I know when they are about to poop, I can tell when a dog is overexerted and tired, I can tell when a dog is feeling aggressive - all before they perform these actions. My fair share of dog parks has made it very easy for me to discern dog behavior. I will use these skills to best serve your furbaby.

Dog Walking • Jul 10, 2026

Carmen was great. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking and pivot when needed. We agreed on walks so to ensure her current guest dog’s needs were also met. I really appreciate her promptness and how well she took care of Oreo! Will use her again and recommend to others. Thanks Carmen!

Carmen is a kind and compassionate individual who I can't recommend enough as a pet-sitter and caregiver! She genuinely loves animals, which is so clear in the way she cares for her own dog of over 10+ years. Carmen is responsible, patient, and attentive, and goes above and beyond to make pets feel comfortable and well cared for. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands and I would highly recommend her.
