Any behavioral issues or medical conditions, list of medications they are on (including flea and heart worm prevention), allergies, current vaccination status. How are they with young children? Any fears or anxiety? Ex. separation anxiety, thunderstorms, etc.

Licensed Vet Tech

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Cara. I'm a licensed veterinary technician and am also a Fear Free certified veterinary professional. I'm 36 years old and have been working in the veterinary field for 17 years. I truly enjoy sitting in my spare time, which I have been doing for 25 years now. Because of my profession and personal experience with pets of my own, I am extremely comfortable administering medications and/or caring for special needs of all species. I have experience with a variety of animal species that include exotics, reptiles, small animals, and farm animals. For all new clients- I require at least 1 week notice before the first booking as well as a meet and greet with your pet(s) before the stay to make sure it will be a good fit for all. If this is not achievable, the booking with be declined. * For traveling services outside of my radius (10 miles each way - 20 miles round trip), an additional $1.00/mile will be added for each visit. This helps to cover gas, oil, and general ware on my car that allow me to continue offering these services. Thank you for your understanding.

Cara did an excellent job checking in on my needy cat. She followed my directions perfectly and answered any questions that I had while I was gone and leading up to my trip. I would highly recommend Cara for any nervous pet parent!

Cara was amazing and put our mind at ease, taking care of our 5 cats while we were away. She was extremely thorough and communicative for all of the visits and I really felt like our cats were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Cara!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
