Dog sitter of all breeds and needs
Pet care experience
My husband and I have had our own dog since we were 21 years old and now have 3 of our own. I foster and work for a special needs dog rescue, having a lot of experience with medical emergencies, deaf and blind dogs, and dogs with anxiety. I am able to administer oral medication or give medications via syringe. I am great at crate training a dog, teaching them sit, shake, down, stay, reliable recall, and settle. My fiancé and I both work a flexible full time schedule during the week and home all day on the weekend. We provide plenty of exercise and play time during the week. On weekends, the dogs are with us all day with lots of playtime and exercise, walks, and unlimited potty breaks. Dogs in my care get plenty of exercise in the fenced in backyard, out on walks, or fun adventures out on the town. We are in walking distance to old Hilliard which hosts a lot of dog friendly evening activities. We also enjoy going out on hikes and taking the dogs swimming at a friends private pond. We have 3 dogs that are all good with other dogs: 8 year old deaf boxer mix, 5 year old lab mix, and 4 year old border collie mix. The boxer will play some and then usually keeps to herself to nap. The lab will play a lot, but prefers to play fetch on her own, and the border collie will play with anyone and everyone and does a great job at reading dogs cues on if they want to play or if they want to be done and left alone.
Reviews
Our boys had great time at Carmen and Elliot's! We are looking forward to future visits.
Carmen and Elliot were great pet sitters and very attentive to our pets needs. They went out of their way to make them feel welcomed and relaxed. We look forward to booking them again soon!
Cannot recommend Carmen and Elliot enough!! They treated our dogs as if they were their own and took such a great care of them. We received lots of updates during their stay and they were flexible with schedule changes. Would highly recommend and ask for their help watching our dogs again!
Carmen was awesome and was very flexible to our schedule. I would highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced in yard that is secure for dogs to be off leash. I also always separate dogs for feedings and use crates or dog gates to ensure dogs aren’t left unmonitored together if we leave the home.

Information Carmen S. would like to know about your pet
Dietary needs, medical needs, vaccination history, quirks about the dog and set up a meet and greet prior to the stay if possible to make sure the dog is comfortable.
A typical day
Around the neighborhood, various walking trails in the Hilliard/Dublin area. We can go swimming at a friends private pond. Can take them to large open field to play fetch or to the dog park or in old Hilliard. We also have a larger fenced in yard for dogs to play in as much as they want.
