Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong dog lover and caregiver!
I have been around animals my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own. In addition, I have taken a ten week course on canine psychology which has allowed me to better understand dog behavior and respond in kind. I believe my exposure to animals of multiple breeds and my understanding of all things dog helps me to approach each pet with the appropriate energy and guidance for a positive interaction. I love to run and hike and can keep up with high energy breeds, but love a mellow walk as well! In addition, I have extensive experience with cats, horses, and other animals. I work from home and have decent availability - please let me know how I can help you and your pet!

Ratings and reviews
Cara was very easy to communicate with and took great care of our old sweet dog while we visited the national parks! Plenty of pictures and updatess thoughout the day! Bailey gives her two paws up 🐾

Cara is an incredible caretaker and lover of all animals. She quickly finds comfort with any animal and can adapt to their routines. Cara has loved on our dog, Gordon, for years keeping him for extended stays, taking walking, or helping with feedings. Gordon gets so excited seeing her! Any animal and family that would get to work with Cara would be lucky!
What a lovely pet sitter, critter taker carer!! Cara was thoughtful, on time and consistent with my kids. Positive, can-do, caring attitude. Lucky to have found her. :)

Cara is a wonderful dog sitter! She has known my dog, Donna, since she was a puppy, and every time Donna sees Cara, she lights up! Cara is very communicative, always double checks instructions, and sends plenty of pictures and updates. She also follows Donna's obedience commands. Donna is always a very happy, tired pup whenever she comes home.
Cara is a wonderful pet owner, lover, and caregiver. Cara is familiar with canine behavior, is a confident and calm dog leader, and is more patient and positive when working with animals than one can even imagine. Her energy generally calms animals and puts them at ease. I highly recommend her services as a dog trainer or walker.
