Active Routine: Personalized walks and playtime tailored to your dog’s energy. Flexible: Available for short-notice drop-ins and overnight stays. Peace of Mind: I use a calm approach to build quick bonds with all pets. 🌈

Ratings and reviews
Cara was wonderful and a great doggie day sitter for Milo, taking him on walks with her dog and keeping him company so he didn’t get anxious. She kept us informed of how he was doing and was flexible about the pick up time. Would definitely recommend her!
This was a last minute dog sitting job and Cara was immediate in helping me out. She got right back to me and when we met, I saw how loving she was to my dog. He was right at home. I highly recommend Cara.
Cara is such a kind soul, we booked a last minute whale watching tour and she welcomed our pup Wyatt into her beautiful home right away 🥰
Ellie immediately took to Cara and her friendly, calm vibe. We found Cara to be very easy to communicate with and she was warm and confident with Ellie. We will definitely book her services again.
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.

Schedule
I am a work-from-home artist and musician with a background in nursing. Because I stay within a 5-10 minute radius of my home, I am always nearby for quick check-ins or last-minute needs. My schedule is flexible to match your pet's routine

Home characteristics
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.
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.
