Playful and caring pet lover!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and capabilities. I pay close attention to detail when it comes to medication, dietary restrictions, and feeding/walking times. Overall, I've grown up with a family with many cats and dogs over the years, so I love spending time with animals!

Cara was fantastic! She sent me updates, gave my pup several walks throughout the day and you could tell he enjoyed his visit! 🤍

Cara is amazing!! We have two reactive dogs, and I was concerned that they would not warm up to a caregiver. Cara was patient and they warmed right up to her. She took great care of them and provided me with daily updates. She took them on walks, let them explore outside, and provided a comforting space for them to lounge and rest. I highly recommend Cara.
