Pet care experience

Dog lover & Full-time Pet Sitter ❣️

I’ve had dogs of many different breeds since I was born, so I’m experienced with just about every type of dog. I currently have no dogs in the house and devote my time to full time pet sitting. I also frequently care for my sister’s two dogs, who I consider my niece and nephew, a female poodle, Vivienne, and a male Maltese-Bichon Frise, Wally, six and three years old, respectively. Also my mother recently adopted a puppy from the shelter, we think he is a french bulldog/boston terrier/boxer mix, his name is Griswald and I looove him. I love dogs of all kinds and sizes, and I volunteer with Pug Rescue Austin when I can. My favorite (and only) form of exercise is dog walking, and I would love to care for your dog-child.

Cara is such a wonderful person and dog lover. She took care of our Coco with so much love and attention. We have lots of pictures and updates on daily basis. I could enjoy my holiday without any worry. Already booked another stay for our Coco. with Cara! Thank you so much Cara.

Dog Walking • Jul 14, 2025

We feel so lucky to have found Cara! From the very first walk, it was clear that she genuinely cares about Kevin and treats him like one of her own. Kevin absolutely lights up when she arrives! Cara is reliable, communicative and always goes the extra mile - whether sending the sweetest photo updates, or taking the time to give him a little extra love and play. Knowing he’s in such caring hands brings us so much peace of mind. It’s such a comfort knowing Kevin is not just walked, but truly cared for. Cara’s kindness, energy, and attention to detail make all the difference. We can’t imagine a better person to trust with our Kevin! Thanks Cara 🩷

Doggy Day Care • Jun 27, 2025

Cara was great with Gigi! Very responsive, she sent photos and gave a super helpful info card afterward so I could see more pics and what they got up to. She was flexible around timing and Gigi clearly enjoyed spending the day with her so we wouldn’t hesitate to bring her back!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 24, 2024

Cara saved the day! Not only did she accept my Last minute request, my phone died in the middle of me letting her know I was running late to pick him up. She was very understanding. Kobe had a nice visit, from the pictures he was his happy self. Will certainly rebook, with advanced notice next time 🐾
