I’m a certified dog trainer
Pet care experience
I went to a great dog training academy and received a certification as a Canine Training Specialist. I also did a pet food nutrition course with a DNM University and earned a Pet Food Nutrition Specialist certification. I’ve volunteered at several dog rescue centers and I’ve interned at a vet clinic for a year. I grew up in the country and we always had at least one dog so I’ve had lots of experience around animals my whole life. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs, and will treat your dog like family. I’m very knowledgeable about dogs that need a specific diet or medication due to food or environmental allergies as my own dog has them. She is a medium size girl that loves every dog she meets so dogs I board/care for must be dog friendly. Lastly, I love taking great pet portraits with my phone and always send the portrait pictures that I take of the owners adorable pets to them throughout the stay. I accept balanced raw and home cooked diets if you prepare them in ready to serve meal size portions beforehand.
Reviews
Always a great experience
Datum has stayed with Carsen twice now and had a great time on both occasions!
Carsen is always our number one choice. We feel completely calm and no stress when we leave Bo. We know he is in great hands and super happy to be there with Lexie too. Thank you for always taking such good care and communicating with us often!
Carsen took such great care of our pup, Gravy. She sent frequent updates that included videos and photos. I would absolutely recommend her to others. You can tell that she genuinely loves dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in yard and a very sweet dog that loves to play with other dogs. If they are happy to do it, I will try to work on some basic obedience while they are here like sit, down, and waiting at doors. I follow all of the owners instructions when it comes to whether they’re allowed on furniture, where they sleep, where/when they eat, etc.

A typical day
