Pet care experience

21+ years working in rescue groups

I have spent the past 21 years working for many animal rescue organizations. I have received awards and letters of recommendation for the work I have done in the rescue world. I have fostered and successfully adopted over 178 dogs from kill shelters. I am an avid animal love. I had to give all that up when I married into the military. We have been serving for the past 13 years. I have three children. All have been raised to love animals. I have also volunteered for 6 years at the veterinarians office. I still foster from the kill shelter when I can. Animals are always better than some people. We live on a 5 acre farm and will be fencing the entire property within this year. It’s a very private and beautiful place. I’d love to show your fur kids the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! Thank you, Cara J.

I care for all animals exactly as I care for my own fur babies. They will be spoiled and loved just like my own pups.

We have had Cara and her lovely family watch our dog Kacy a few times now and it has been wonderful! Cara always sends us photos and videos of Kacy and we can tell that Kacy has the best time. Her schedule is very flexible which is wonderful for our military family. I would recommend Cara and we are so thankful that we have found a such a wonderful sitter.

Cara is a true animal lover which puts your mind at ease leaving your fur babies with her! She sent consistent updates and cared for Cooper as if he were her own. Thanks so much!!

Cara watched our Kacy dog while we were away and was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and was super sweet! I could tell that her family really enjoyed taking care of our pup and treated her as their own! Would definitely recommend!!

This was our first time using Rover and we picked Cara because of all the great reviews. Cara was wonderful with our 2 dogs. Great communication and pictures. We plan to use her again for dog sitting later this month.

Cara was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby Bella. It was a second home for Bella. Cara and her family were kind and caring, providing the ‘vacation’ we hoped for her. We have already recommended her to our daughter and neighbor. Cara is our go-to care giver going forward!
