I’m currently available to provide care any day of the week, including holidays unless stated otherwise, just ask! While I prefer not to stay overnight with new clients right away, I’m happy to adapt by arriving early or staying later if needed. For regular clients and pets I’ve become more familiar with, we may be able to arrange longer consecutive stays or overnight care. I’m also pretty flexible and can usually adapt to last minute requests, so feel free to reach out and we can try to work something out. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos during visits if you’d like them as well.

Pet care experience

I've had a strong passion for animals since I was very young, and I've spent years caring for them whenever I had the chance. Visiting zoos, animal shelters, and spending time with friends' pets eventually led me to start pet sitting and dog walking at a young age as well. Through over a decade of hands on experience, personal research, and owning reptiles, cats, and other small species, I've learned how to care for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, rodents, fish, and even insects and snails. I combine compassion, patience, and responsibility to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for according to their individual needs. I’m especially knowledgeable about cats and very familiar with canine body language. I also care for stray cats in my neighborhood, which has given me even more experience understanding animal behavior and building trust with shy or nervous pets. However, I’m committed to providing the same level of attentive care to every animal I work with. I’m comfortable with most ages, sizes, and species of pets, excluding bottle babies and giant dog breeds. Please let me know in advance if your pet has severe aggression, medical concerns, or special care instructions, and provide emergency contact information for a veterinarian or trusted person if needed. I can help with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, cleanup, litter boxes, and poop scooping. I understand that pet care can sometimes be messy, and I’m patient with accident-prone animals. Animal care is something I genuinely care deeply about, and I always strive to provide an experience that leaves both pets and owners feeling happy, comfortable, and confident. I look forward to meeting you and your animals!

She was great with the cats. Fed and played, kept up well with Figaro as a kitten. Mama Missy gets into the garage whenever we open it and Carmen got her back into the house this time. She took over dog sitting for us once on top of our own cats; and sometimes we had her babysit our kids as well, all went perfectly. She's great with kids and animals and obviously very passionate about animals. Well worth it.

Carmen provided excellent care for my 2 cats. She fed them, scooped their litterboxes, brushed them, and played with them. She even eventually won over my older cat who usually hides from guests, which he did at first but now he loves her. She's watched them over night a few times and Lloyd slept on the couch with her. She brushed our very thick haired GSD which we hadn't asked her specifically to do, and cleaned up the loose fur off the floor, which was nice because usually we just spend all day pulling loose fur off her and she didn't shed terribly again for a while. Overall thoughtful and good care, I'd recommend Carmen if you're looking for someone to love on your pets and take good care of them.
