Pet care experience

Welcome to our pack! We adore our furry family members and understand how unique each one is to their family. We are life-long pet owners and have many years of experience volunteering for rescues (domestic & for an international partnership), also at domestic crisis centers, both as a foster family, a placement family, along with doing home visits. This has given a variety of opportunities to experience different breeds, medical, and emotional needs pets may have deveIoped. Your pet's safety and happiness is a priority to you and to me as well. From my own experience using Rover, I know first-hand how vital it is for you to feel like your special pup is treated like a member of our family while in our home. I am home all day (unless I am attending a volunteer opportunity or an appointment) so your pup is my priority! We look forward to welcoming you and your furry family member (s) (all breeds welcome) into our home to meet our pups Shadow and Primrose. They are always looking forward to having friends over, too! *Ask about pick-up and drop off service if needed. I am available most days and times and I am flexible. We can make arrangements to accommodate. Most drop offs and pick ups work great in morning or evening time. I am careful and intentional about getting to know each pup individually, reading pups signals both verbal and non-verbal cues and making them comfortable in the pack. Their safety and comfort is of utmost importance. I can empathize as a pup parent myself, how I desire to have my pups treated and I strive to have each experience be that way for you too.

Carmen rocks! So polite. So caring. So much a lover of all dogs including my own. Her communication is impeccable and she is able to follow plenty of random instructions even if they're not provided in the most organized fashion. I'll try to do better next time, Carmen! Thank you!

Carmen is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Our dog Winnie had an amazing time. Carmen was super responsive and sent us tons of pictures of our girl while we were away. We were running behind schedule and didn’t pick Winnie up until after the time we scheduled and Carmen was very understanding and told us not to worry about it. She also sent home doggy treats. She and her husband went above and beyond with caring for our Winnie and we will definitely use them again

I’ve already left a review, but feel the need to leave another! Our dog Tina has stayed with Carmen multiple times, and each time has been such a great experience. Our dog is very fearful of loud noises and thunderstorms, so to know there was a storm coming while we’d be gone was concerning us. But Carmen put our minds at ease and did everything she could to make Tina comfortable. We felt so relieved that she was in good hands. No one is more caring!! Thank you Carmen and David!!!

Carmen and David are the absolute best. They send a bunch of pictures, are extremely responsive, and do so many activities with the dogs (sprinklers, walks, park, etc.). I can tell when my dog Vilas goes there he is treated and loved like he’s apart of the family, and he loves them back! They are extremely accommodating and do everything they can to make your dog feel at home.

Information Carmen T. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

We encourage communication so please feel free to let us know either verbally or written your pups schedule and or your preferences. We have many areas to walk in our neighborhood, including a park very close by, and walking paths. We have a secured fenced yard, and can play a session of ball/fetch, water play in pup pool/sprinkler (weather dependent), or just a fun run around with our crew Shadow and Prim, which seems to be a favorite past time at our home. Also, let us know if there is a special toy or game your pup is particularly fond of and we will be happy to include that into our time together.
