Nominated for Best Pet Auntie <3

I’ve had dogs my whole life and they have been instrumental in my development as a person in so many ways. I’m big on consistency, manners, positive reinforcement and communication. I’m moderately skilled with actual dog training/behavior modification and am happy to incorporate/reinforce any specific training you’re doing at home as well. I’m comfortable with most medication administration, and am open to learning new things if needed. Also, I'm a sign language interpreter by trade, so Deaf dogs (and/or clients) make no nevermind to me. I’ll do my best to love them all like you love them!

Carmin is a fantastic sitter! Flora was clearly comfortable at her house. Carmin made sure we returned with everything we brought over and sent us updates with pictures throughout our trip.

We are always very at peace to leave our Zoey with Carmine. Zoey walks in, as if she lives there. Zoey eats, poops, and sleeps well. Carmine sends us pictures during Zoey’s stay. Carmine goes out of her way to make sure Zoey is safe. This time she cushioned Zoey’s ramp with pillows to make sure Zoey was safe using the ramp to sit on Carmine’s couch. Carmine is also very organized. She created a checklist of all Zoey’s belongings. At departure, Carmine had everything packed including the checklist of belongings. She also made sure Zoey smelled pleasant. Carmine’s home is clean and tidy. She makes the doggy care transitions easy by having a bed, gates, bowls, and pillows on hand. Overall, I feel that Zoey receives lots of love and excellent care from Carmine. I highly recommend, Carmine.

Schedule

I work from home in a “remote call center” kind of thing. The pups/cats won’t be allowed in the office during my work hours (generally 6 hours per day) but I can break at flexible times, as needed, for potty breaks. My evenings are generally open and I’m happy to play or snuggle before and after feeding times. My full attention can be devoted from 4ish-pm until 9ish-am if that’s what you’re looking for, but the pup would need to either be crated, or free-range if not destructive, during my working hours otherwise. I do have a camera on in the living room while I'm in the office so I can see what they're up to, also.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a pretty decently sized fenced yard, but still supervise any outside time to keep everyone honest. :) I can crate as needed, or allow free roaming if your pup has a reputation for being non-destructive. I know separation from their people is hard and will try to make them as comfortable as possible. There are no other animals in the home, so they will have my full focus.

A typical day

It's hard to plan super fun outdoor activities in this crazy Florida heat, but I have a great yard for playing ball or frisbee when the sun isn't tryin' to fry us like an egg. I do prefer going on walks later in the day or earlier in the morning for that reason, too. Safety and comfort are important and there's lots to do inside, like practicing manners or tricks, chewin' on toys, light grooming if they like that, or my lap is always ready for cuddles. 1.1.2024 UPDATE: **Due to the presence of a new unleashed dog in my neighborhood, I'm not comfortable offering walks at this time, for everyone's safety, but the backyard is large enough for zoomies and I can supplement enrichment there as well. :)

Information is the currency of trust and my heart, so any and all things you can tell me about your fur bubby is an awesome help! Some common things I like to know: How are they with men vs. women? How about children? Any spots on their body they love or hate to be pet/touched? What's their prey drive like? Energy level? Knowledge of basic commands? Typical behavior/needs during thunderstorms or loud noise events like fireworks? Are they a bed sleeper or a floor-bed layer? Nervous tinklers? Counter surfers? Tell me everything, almost anything is figureoutable, and together, we can make sure their stay/care can be as successful as possible. :) SCHEDULING: I try to do requests on a first come, first serve basis and am fully willing to block off my calendar to prevent overlapping requests while we figure out the details. CAVEAT: If I receive no response from owner within 48 hours of initially confirming my availability, I will release those dates back to my calendar and move on to other requests.
