Experienced Pet Owner and Foster

Pet care experience

I have cared for cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I have cared for my own animals from puppies and kittens to seniors with health issues requiring medications. My partner George (another dog lover!) and I both work from home and can give your pet(s) the attention they deserve while you are working or traveling. I have a huge fenced yard where dogs can play. My home is also synthetic fragrance-free and I do not use any chemicals on my lawn for the health of both humans and pets. I take up to two dogs from the same family at a time, so your dogs will be the only ones we are caring for while they are here. Sometimes there is a bit of overlap on a pickup/dropoff day but in that case we keep the dogs separated.

This is like our fourth time using Cara and she always takes amazing care of Rizzo! Sends pics, keeps us updated and makes her feel like one of the family.

Safety, trust & environment

We will care for your pet(s) just like our own! When we have a new dog in the house we will separate them from our dog and introduce them slowly. I have several rooms that can be gated to give your pet privacy and alone time if they need it. There may be times I will need to leave for a short time. In that case, dogs from different households can be crated or separated if needed. Please allow time for a meet and greet before booking your service so we can make sure we are a good fit!

Information Cara B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know: how your dog gets along with other dogs, feeding preferences, toy preferences, if they are high-energy or like to nap all day, what kinds of things keep them entertained, how often do they need to potty, and anything else you think is important while they are here!

A typical day

Playing in the yard is the best. When the weather is nice the dogs will be out in the yard as much as possible. Puzzles, fetch, naps on the couch...whatever your pet is into we will accommodate!
