Information carmen w. would like to know about your pet

If they are not spayed or neutered please let me know. I usually just need to know their general routine and if they have any medications.

A typical day

Most days we let the dogs play in the fenced backyard. Our dog is very friendly and most dogs we watch enjoy playing with him. In the evening we usually let the dogs hangout in the living room with us.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Carmen. I am currently a licensed veterinary technician. I work with many species at my job ranging from horses, pigs and alpacas to dogs and cats to the occasional pocket pets. Due to my job I have experience in pet first aid and CPR. I am also experienced with older pets that may need extra special care or medications administered regularly. I have a 5 year old German Shorthaired Pointer named Merle, 2 cats, chickens. I love all animals and wish I could have so many more! I can't wait to meet you and your pets!

Carmen is great with my dog and was super accommodating and flexible. We love that she has a fenced in back yard for fetch!

Carmen helped Sunny to feel comfortable when he was feeling a bit nervous being there. It was helpful that she had a crate he could use and a fenced yard for him to run in.

We had a great experience! Carmen is a very experienced caregiver and was quick to respond when we asked about our dog. She has a big fenced in backyard so my dog got lots of off leash exercise!

Carmen is always amazing. Our pup loves her and her pup. She takes great care of him. This last stay he was recovering from surgery and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone more than her to take care of him during this time when we couldn't.
