Licensed Vet Tech
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Cara. I'm a licensed veterinary technician and am also Fear Free certified. I'm 34 years old and have worked full time at various animals hospitals in Olean, Buffalo, Syracuse, and Cape Cod, MA for over 15 years. I truly enjoy sitting in my spare time, which I have been doing for over 20 years now. I have experience with a variety of animals including: Cats, dogs, geckos, guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, rats, chinchillas, hamsters, ferrets, birds and other exotics such as sugar gliders (to name a few). Due to 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. For all new clients- I require at least 1 weeks 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 the request is less than 1 week before the booking, an additional fee of $20 will be added to the booking. * For traveling services outside of my radius (10 miles each way - 20 miles round trip), an additional $0.50/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.
Reviews
We are so grateful that Cara is available to watch our cats while we are away. I feel so much more comfortable knowing that they are checked on and get a chance to play and receive some pets. I love receiving updates and photos from Cara, too!
Cara is terrific and she will be my go-to whenever I need pet care. She’s professional, timely, and most importantly is excellent with animals. My cats warmed up to her very quickly which is unusual. Her experience and expertise as a vet tech and long history of caring for animals gives me complete confidence in her ability to handle any emergencies should there ever arise while I am away. She’s terrific!
Cara is amazing! Takes great photos and leaves detailed messages about my cat. My cat is grump who hardly comes out for anyone, yet she is always happy to see Cara.
Cara is so attentive and caring with our pets - knowing she is watching out for them and giving them love allows me to relax and enjoy my vacation! Our boys are timid with strangers, but she won them over quickly. I'm so grateful for her!
