Dogs will be safe and happy with me

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my entire life (I'm 54) and have fostered for rescue organizations for over 20 years. I understand what dogs need to be happy and calm - especially when they are away from home! I enjoy playing with dogs in my fenced in yard and taking them on long hikes in the parks near my house. I have worked for a veterinarian and can perform basic care such as pill administration, ear and eye cleaning, nail trims and can also give injections if necessary. I have room for multiple dogs from the same family, special needs dogs, and dogs that don't like to be handled. My top priority is safety of the pets and keeping stress when away from home as low as possible.

Cara took very good care of Ashley and Pippa while we were on vacation. She provided a loving home for our Beagles, and they were quite comfortable with her. Thank you, Cara!

henry could not have been in better hands and i recommend cara to anyone who needs someone to watch their dog. from the very first communication, cara was just great and i feel so lucky to have found someone so caring and responsible to keep an eye on henry when for one reason or another i am unable to take him along.

This was the first time our 2 golden retrievers experienced boarding. Cara took excellent care. We loved the pictures and will definitely go with Cara again!

Cara is the only person I would have ever left my anxiety ridden terrier with. I know that she is the only person that would tolerate and understand his quirks and fear driven aggressiveness toward other dogs. When we left Joey with as a puppy and a senior I felt like he was with family. We never feared for his safety or well being. I don't know anyone else who loves dogs like she does. Cara has a unique understanding and caring for all dogs. She will asses your dogs needs and care for your pet as if it were her own.

Information Cara L. would like to know about your pet

Medical history, food preference, eating frequency, fear/anxiety triggers, stamina for walking, sleeping patterns. I would also want to know if he or she likes other dogs - I do not plan to have the guest dog intermix with my dogs unless it is requested.

A typical day

We will go on long hikes in the park beside my house....it is a beautiful area with wooded trails and lots of things to sniff. The dog(s) can also play in my fenced yard, and chill out in the house when they are done playing!
