Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Owner and Foster

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.

We repeatedly come back to Cara for our Rizzo. She is so communicative and really cares about your dog. We feel safe and know Rizzo is in good hands when we leave her with Cara!

Cara was great with my nervous little guy. It was his first time staying with her so he needed some time to adjust. She was so patient and understanding. She kept me updated and sent great pictures. Thank you so much for taking care of Simon!

Cara was so sweet! She was so good with our Ruby girl. We have never left our dog with anyone besides family prior to this boarding, but Cara made us feel at ease. She sent us daily pictures and updates that my 2 boys enjoyed and looked forward to. We would definitely use her again!

Schedule

I work full-time from home, so have time to care for your pet(s) in addition to our own. During the day I will be home with your pet and they will have the opportunity to play and have potty breaks.

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!

Pets

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!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time

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!
