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 it is usually best for your pet 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.

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 have taken care of kittens before too. I am up for any challenge. I have experience with grooming and bathing pets, as well as administering medicine. It brings me joy to get to take care of so many people’s fur babies.

Cara was kind, calm and communicative. She gave good attention to our senior dog and when we returned from our trip, both of our dogs seemed at peace. The house was left very clean as well. I will definitely be asking Cara to watch our pups again!

Cara took such good care of my pup as always - even tending to him while he was sick. Just the best!

Cara is the absolute best. She takes such good care of my dog, who is always psyched to see her. And she leaves my home so neat. I have such peace of mind leaving my dog in her care. Couldn’t recommend more!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
