Safety, trust & environment

I offer a calm, drug-free and smoke free environment where safety is the priority. I am a responsible homeowner who knows how to handle household emergencies (water/gas shut-offs) and pet crises with a steady hand. My reliable car is always ready for transport if needed." I prefer to work from home so dogs that can be alone for a few hours at a time while I am home during the day is ideal. I can potentially bring them to my house as well. That is something we can discuss on an individual basis. I will do my best to stick to usual play and exercise routines. I have a reliable car and am experienced in dealing with pet emergencies. I can stay calm and deal with stressful situations if needed. I will respect your property and I know how to deal with house situations that may arise such as shutting off water, gas and electricity. I don't party or do drugs and am very clean. I can also do wound care and pet medications of all types, even subcutaneous fluids.

Information Cara B. would like to know about your pet

Social Style: How do they react to strangers or other dogs? House Rules: Are they allowed on furniture or the bed? Medical/Behavioral: Any medications, special needs, or unique quirks? The Routine: Specific feeding times, potty habits?

A typical day

I prioritize your pet's existing routine to keep them happy and stress-free. For maximum safety, I keep all dogs leashed and maintain a respectful distance from other pets, unless we’ve specifically cleared off-leash play in advance.

Cara is amazing!! She has taken such incredible care of our dogs both times we have gone on vacation. They love her, and We loved the updates and photos she sent us each day and will definitely book with her again in the future!

Cara did a great job taking care of my three greyhounds over a four-day weekend. I loved the photos she sent while I was away and most importantly, the dogs were relaxed and comfortable when I got back — a sure sign that they were well cared for.
