Reliable & experienced animal lover

Pet care experience

I grew up around many dogs and cats and have experience in taking care of all shapes, sizes, ages and needs. I have pet-sat and house-sat for numerous different families, including a family with 4 big dogs and a puppy! I am up for any challenge. I have experience with grooming and bathing pets as well. I love working with animals.

Cara stayed with our new puppy and older cat while we were on our first vacation away from the little one. She did such a wonderful job and we felt so relieved knowing our pets were in such good hands with her. Highly recommend Cara!

Cara was so caring, responsive, and also very responsible. I was initially worried about leaving my cat for two weeks but I left him in very good hands with Cara. I especially appreciated all the photos she sent and the little daily updates! My cat loved her. I was able to relax knowing that I had a very sweet and reliable sitter.

I left my bestie with Cara for 2 weeks and I am so glad I did. She gave me daily updates and asked questions when she had them. She left my apartment clean and my pet cat happy! I am so grateful to have found her so I could enjoy my international trip!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment that does not allow animals, so I can only offer pet sitting/walking services in your home. I find that this is usually best for the animal to get to stay in an environment they are comfortable in!

Information Cara D. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special needs or treatments please let me know! I can deal with an array of caretaking skills including cooking meals for pets, administering medicine, and more.

A typical day

I love playing with animals! Whatever toys you have I will most definitely utilize. When taking them on walks, I make sure to let them sniff to their hearts’ desire because that is part of how they socialize. I also enjoy playing fetch and teaching new tricks.
