Pet care experience

Licensed Vet Tech

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 is terrific! She sends photos and let's us know exactly what happens from each visit. We so appreciate our furry family being so well taken care of while we're out of town.

Cara remains one of the few people my very shy cat will come out for when we are out of town. Always so happy with Cara’s work and will continue to have her sit my cat.

Cara is wonderful! She provided excellent care to my cats while I was away. One of my cats is diabetic and Cara made sure she received her insulin and food on schedule. Cara is professional, detail oriented and compassionate. I would highly recommend her.

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!
