Pet care experience

Paws, Play & Plenty of Love

What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve taken care of puppies who need patience, structure, and reinforcement of basic training, energetic adult dogs who thrive on activity and routine, and senior dogs who require a gentler pace, medication awareness, and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s specific needs, whether that means reinforcing potty training, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply providing calm companionship.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Because I structure my work independently, I can easily adjust my schedule to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind-down time. It’s important to me that pets feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for, not just supervised.

This was the first time leaving my dog in Cara’s care, and I could not be happier with the experience from the very beginning she was professional, caring, and attentive to my dogs needs. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and compassionate pet sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again thank you Cara for taking such wonderful care of Moose

Cara took wonderful care of our dog! Cara communicated before his stay and sent photos and updates during his stay. Spanky came home calm and happy! Highly recommend Cara and we are so grateful to have found her!

This woman is so awesome with dogs. She’s like a dog whisperer. We have two Boston terriers, and sometimes they can be anxious. This was not the case this day. Cara attended to their names in a professional and caring manner and was a pleasure to interact with. She kept excellent care of our dogs in her home with her husband and small dog peanut. Great experience.!!!!!!

Cara is very caring and an excellent communicator. She has a neat, clean home & a very friendly small dog who readily accepted our 24lb cockapoo. When we returned to her home after the Meet & Greet, our pooch was happily whining & immediately laid on the floor & stretched wagging his tail. He was thoroughly happy when we retrieved him several days later, Cara even cleaned his ears when she saw he had ear discomfort, Highly recommend her.

Schedule

Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work fully remote from home and have flexibility in setting my schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs your pet may have. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and can receive consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and companionship.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Cara can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can make sure they’re as comfortable and happy as possible during their stay.
