Pet care experience

Kitsap SAH-corgi-M!

Hi, neighbor! I'm a lifelong animal enthusiast serving Kitsap-area pets-- although my corgis could argue I’m merely their executive assistant. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and stages, along with birds, fish, and reptiles. When your pet stays with me, they’re family, rather than a reservation on the calendar. I focus on creating a calm, loving home environment where they can keep to their routine, enjoy plenty of playtime and cuddles, and feel safe while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, because I know your peace is just as important as great care. Whether your bestie has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, they’ll be welcomed, spoiled, and treated like one of our own.

Cara was fantastic! She was really thorough in taking good care of my kitty girl and kept me updated with pictures the whole time I was gone. I really appreciated her and would recommend her!

Cara was amazing and we came home to a relieved to see us but perfectly happy and well taken care of puppy. Got tons of pictures during check ins and she clearly spent plenty of time playing frisbee with her. Our puppy is approx 10 months and probably a Jack Russel mix, so VERY active and intense about fetching and catching. Great communication and will probably check to see if Cara is available before booking any further travel!

Cara, took wonderful care our baby! Gus is quite anxious with new people and situations but we felt reassured and updated throughout his stay and felt that he was in good hands. We will definitely book Cara in the future!

A typical day

My family and I love exploring Kitsap, especially the nearby trails and beaches. Illahee State Park is one of our favorite spots for a breath of forest air or a beach wander. Every adventure and adventurer is different. We cater to your pet’s comfort, energy level, and personality. We're just as content on a five mile walk, cuddling on the couch, or grabbing puppaccinos.

Nobody, least of all your canine best friend, likes unexpected surprises. Before their stay, give me all the deets! I like to learn about their day-to-day so I can provide familiarity and comfort. Please share any habits or quirks so their visit is as happy and stress-free as possible.
