There is nothing better than growing up with pets

Pet care experience

As a lifelong animal lover, I have always been deeply passionate about nurturing and caring for not only dogs and cats but also parrots, hamsters, rabbits and fish. Growing up in a household brimming with furry friends, including a Dalmatian, a German Shepherd mix, and a number of rescue dogs; we also had cats that I always had a special bond with even with the independent nature they have. I still remember the warm feeling when I would take a break during the day and lie down in bed and there would always be one of my cats quickly following me to take a nap on my stomach. My natural ability to connect with pets has only grown stronger over the years. My expertise extends beyond my family's pets, as I've had numerous opportunities to care for a variety of breeds belonging to friends and neighbors. I've been trusted to look after dogs such as Rottweilers, Huskies, Boxers, Newfoundlands, Bulldogs, and even an American Akita while their owners were out of town. In addition to hands-on experience with dogs at various life stages, I have also had the privilege of assisting in the birthing process for a litter of American Cocker Spaniel puppies – an unforgettable experience indeed. As someone who thoroughly enjoys providing love and care for animals while their owners are away or in need of additional support, I wholeheartedly look forward to the opportunity to get acquainted with your beloved pets. My experience as both a sitter and walker promises to deliver not only outstanding care but also the chance for your four-legged friends to form new bonds as well.

Carmen is amazing I could not ask for a better person to take care of my pet. She has looked after my cats numerous times and I can say they absolutely love her. Sometimes I think they lile her better she always looks after them with so much care and love you would think it's her own pet and she does that with all animals. Whenever she interacts with an animal its amazing how much love she offers them. She has a lot of knowledge about animals so she is well equipped to take care of them therefore I never worry whenever she looks after my pets.

A typical day

I like to adapt based on every pet's needs. Some dogs prefer to just chill and sleep next to me on the couch and some prefer throwing a ball and burning off some energy on a longer walk. Seeing them happy makes me happy. And the same applies to cats; for example, my sister's cat loves being close to me and being petted and brushed as much as possible while my friend's cat prefers to have his own space and lets me know when he is in the mood to play.
