Information Cara & Dan W. would like to know about your pet

We have tons of dogs in our neighborhood so lease behavior and commands would be very helpful! We also would like to know about eating habits (fast eater, grazer, etc)

A typical day

We LOVE exploring our neighborhood and taking walks. Our house has plenty of room to roam and we both love loving on dogs, so there will be no shortage of things to do!

Pet care experience

We have taken care of friends and family's dogs on and off for years and have loved having the extra buddies around. We love having dogs for the night or weekends, and even took care of a family member's dog for three months straight. Unofficially, Dan has had dogs most of his life and Cara grew up with a cat so we have been taking care of animals for nearly 20 years. While we do most commonly offer boarding, we are willing to do house sitting if that works best for you!

What a find !!! Cara and Dan are so kind and caring. They took wonderful care of Ellie. Immediately upon meeting them I knew Ellie would be well cared for by them and I had no worries. Ellie loved them so much I think she missed them when we got home. Huge thanks to Cara and Dan ❤️
