Pet care experience

Loving pet care when your away

I am a vet tech and have worked with pets for 26 years but have been caring for them since I was a little girl. I am experienced in dog behavior/training as well. Our home is comfortable and dogs are allowed in every part of the home. We have a large back yard and secure fence. We love taking daily walks and playing with them.

Cara was great! Clyde had a great time, she really made him feel comfortable with being a more anxious dog. She was a great communicator! We would book again.

Cara took great care of my dog! She updated me when he had GI upset and was open to using a cone for my dog after his dental procedure.

Cara did a fantastic job and loved on our dog. Our dog loves friends and he was able to socialize during his stay. We also got some fantastic photos.

Cara and her family was great for our Missy girl! I was worried about our dogs behavior around other dogs because she’s a relatively new rescue that had been showing questionable behavior towards other dogs on walks. Turns out it wasn’t anything I should have been worried about. Cara took great care of Missy, gave regular updates, lots of images, and Missy got along great with the resident dog!
