Pet care experience

Hi! I’ve been boarding and caring for dogs for about 8 years now, both through platforms like Rover and privately. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of welcoming all kinds of pups into my home—from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving oral medications and making sure each dog gets the care they’re used to (just no injections, please!). I’m open to all breeds—every dog has their own personality and quirks, and I love getting to know them all! I share my home with my Golden Shepherd, who is truly my best friend and gets along well with other dogs. When your pup stays with me, they’re part of the family. There’s mandatory playtime and cuddling (seriously—it’s non-negotiable 😂). If your dog is used to free-roaming at home and is trained, they’ll have the same comfort and freedom here. I want them to feel relaxed, happy, and safe—like they never left home. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry one soon! 🐶💛

She was so fantastic with our black lab, Piper. We had to extend her stay because of something extenuating circumstances and she was happy to help. She sent pictures daily to let us know how she was doing. I would highly recommend anyone to use her as your dog or cat sitter if you need one.

OMG!!! Carmen was a life saver. The first sitter I booked canceled and I was on my way out of town. I contacted Carmen to see if she could take Max on short notice and she said she could. I was updated with photos of how he was doing and I was very impressed with her!!

I thank God that Carmen agreed to take care of my cutie dog and to administer her medications, apart from the fact that my dog ​​is hurt in her paw and even so, Carmen agreed to take care of my dog. My concern was that Cutie is not used to living with other dogs but she was able to do it with Carmen's dog and another that she had in her care. I know Cutie was well cared for because when we went to pick her up, she was calm and not mad at me for leaving her for a few days. I liked that Carmen sent us photos of Cutie and my youngest daughter was happy to see the photos. Thanks Carmen.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
