Hi, I'm Cara!

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of dogs for about 11 years now, starting with my family’s golden retriever back when he was a puppy. I have now been providing care for dogs using Rover for 2 years! I have plenty of experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, along with dogs with mobility issues. I love being able to spend time with the dogs and take care of them as my own. **I cannot sit cats due to a severe allergy. I apologize!

Cara was great as usual! Our pups love having her and it gives us so much peace of mind, knowing we can have someone in our home where they are comfortable and takes such good care of them. We love getting the picture updates too!

Cara is so sweet and reliable. This was our first time using Rover so we were naturally very nervous leaving our 2 girls in the care of someone we really didn’t know. We set up a meet and greet and immediately felt comfortable with her. She stayed at our house for a long weekend and she was very good about sending us updates and pictures. We will absolutely be calling her for our future dog sitting needs. I would 100% recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I like to keep my eyes on the dog and go outside with them, especially if it’s beautiful weather. I love to do work or read in the same room as they are in, just to give them company and make sure nothing is wrong. If needed, I can put a leash on them as well. I am also willing to crate the dog if needed. Please let me know if your dog needs accommodations and I will assist in whatever way you need!

Information Cara G. would like to know about your pet

I like to have a list of information about the dog, such as feeding times, their personality, health conditions, sleeping schedule, number of walks per day, etc. The more detailed the better! I want to take care of the dog to the owner’s liking. Specifically for dog walking, I would like to know how well the dog gets along with other dogs and humans.

A typical day

I love to spend time outside with dogs! Whether that’s playing fetch or relaxing in the sun, I cater to what the dog needs. When taking dogs on walks, I like to find a nice walking path that has beautiful scenery or take the dog on their usual walking route. I also am a fan of taking walks in a park, as there are usually other people and dogs taking walks as well. It’s a great opportunity to socialize the dog if needed! I also enjoy playing fetch with them and giving them belly rubs obviously.

I am a Cincinnati native and I recently relocated to Youngstown, OH to begin my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at YSU! My fall semester begins 8/25 and my school schedule will be Mondays/Wednesdays 8am-3pm, Tuesdays/Thursdays 12:30-3:30pm, and Fridays 8-10am. I would be a better fit for a dog that is okay with being alone for about 6 hours if you need someone during the week. Most weekends, I am completely free and able to spend a lot of time with your dog! Cincinnati friends - I will be back in town occasional weekends and around holidays. Please reach out if you are interested!
