Fun, Safe, and Reliable Care!

Pet care experience

There are so many options available when looking for someone to care for your furry family members, so why choose me? Here are a few reasons why: 1. I am a lifelong pet owner, having grown up with dogs and cats, and have experience with all ages, sizes (toy to giant) and temperaments. 2. I do not believe in using physical strength or fear to train dogs, or warn them of bad behavior. You will never have to worry about me raising a hand to your pet(s). 3. My dog is VERY easy going and submissive, and gets along with every dog she meets; she does not have a dominant bone in her body. In fact, despite the fact that she weights 60 lbs. she even plays with my dads small 15 lb dog, and regards him as her alpha! All he has to do is bark once when they're playing and she makes sure to roll over and show him her belly. 4. My step-mom is a well respected veterinarian and lives nearby, so if any medical emergency should ever come up (god forbid) then I am able to contact her more easily than most other sitters would be able to do. 5. Above all, I love dogs, and would treat your beloved pets like my own. They will love their stay with me- you will return to very happy dog. :) Additional Services: Trip to the Dog Park, $15

Cara has always been a huge animal lover, even as a small child. She grew up with dogs and cats and nurtured and cared for them. Cara is the proud owner of a beautiful dog, Penny Lane who she rescued as a pup and two adorable cats, whom she had also rescued. Cara is so good with animals, patient, kind and compassionate. She takes excellent care of her "furbabies" and is the perfect choice to pet sit for you!

Whenever I need a reliable dog-sitter/walker for my little Chi-Jack ("Juan") I know I can count on Cara. She has a special love for dogs that they seem to sense and it's apparent in the connection I see. Juan knows that when Cara grabs the leash it's an afternoon of fun for him..... Thanks Cara!

Information Cara F. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences whatsoever- ALL are welcome! When booking with me, please let me know a little about your dog, so I can properly prepare to host him/her for their best possible stay. For example, let me know if they have any particular fears, if they have food sensitivities, any medical concerns to be aware of, if they prefer more active time or down time, etc. I do have dog bowls, beds, toys etc. for your best friend to use while staying with me, but if possible, please also bring the following with them so they are as comfortable as possible during their stay: -Their current Dog Food (to prevent stomach sensitivities from abruptly switching to my brand of dog food) -Leash, Collar with Tag -Current License Tag (especially if you want us to go to the dog park for some extra play time!) -Medication and instructions (if applicable) -Favorite toy (optional, but may provide additional comfort) -Anything else you believe will help make your dog's stay as comfortable as possible! Some people even bring a shirt or pillow they've recently used, so their pup has something with their scent on it to comfort them. If you have any questions about the list above, don't hesitate to reach out to me. Nothing is set in stone and I'm flexible to work with you so we can plan the perfect stay-cation for your pet.

A typical day

We can play in the yard outside my house, or even take a field trip to any of the local dog parks (if owner gives prior permission of course!) If your dog prefers to relax, that's okay too! I'm always up for a good Netflix binge with a few good snugglers.
