And it seems that the singer's husband Nick Cannon may have joined her notoriously huge team of assistants - as the dog carrier.
The dutiful 27-year-old was on hand to ferry Carey's dog Jack around as the couple enjoyed a white Christmas together in Aspen and the singer made sure she was dressed for the occasion.

Carey, 38, stepped out dressed in a winter-white outfit, including impractical white boots, to celebrate her first Christmas with Cannon.
The newlyweds, who were married in April after a whirlwind six week romance, looked happier than ever as they took a walk through the snow-filled streets.
Carey recently spoke of her excitement at spending the festive with her new husband.
‘I'm really looking forward to being in love on Christmas,’ she told Redbook magazine.

‘It's easy to be lonely that time of year, and in the past I just dove into that festive mode with a sort of I-don't-care attitude.
‘The holidays are always great, but being in love is going to be the icing on the cake.'
The couple, who originally met at the Kids' Choice Awards in 2005, fell for each other when Nick flew to Antigua at the end of March to play Carey's love interest in the video for her single Bye Bye.

The singer has spent the last ten Christmas's in Aspen and says there’s no place she’d rather be.
'Aspen is all about the snow and the environment, so it automatically puts you in that celebratory mood.
‘I don't really do up my New York apartment for Christmas; I save everything for Aspen,' she said.
The exotic location is also favoured by actress Paris Hilton, Hilary Swank and Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, who have all been pictured there this week.
