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 took amazing care of my pup. She was accommodating and communicative. Highly recommended! Great back yard and Wrangler, her dog, was a wonderful companion for my middle aged cattle dog.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 17, 2026

Oliver had a great time! He was very happy and tired from a fun day when we picked him up. Cara was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. We will definitely come back for daycare again. It's invaluable to have someone reliable!

Our pup Piper had a great stay with Cara! She kept us updated and sent lots of pics. I could tell she felt right at home and had a lot of fun. We would definitely book with her again!

Dodger had the best time at Cara’s! We loved receiving updates that he was having a blast playing with the other dogs.
