Here to help a busy pet parent!

Pet care experience

Growing up, I've had family dogs and pet-sit in my neighborhood. I went on to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Animal Science with a minor in Equine Science at Ohio State, and I work at a local equine veterinary clinic- animals are my passion! My Golden Retriever and I are very active, I'm happy to walk or run with your dog or simply provide extra playtime. My best availability is July-December as my work is partly remote and provides more flexibility in my schedule for daytime visits or be able to keep with your pets regular feeding schedules. Most of my professional experience has been in farm sitting overnight - horses, donkey's, dogs, cats, chickens; but I am here on Rover to be able to include drop-in visits, walks, or boarding in my own home to better help pet parents whether its stretching their legs during your long workday or keeping a watchful eye while away on vacation!

Safety, trust & environment

At a clients home, I do my best to keep your pet in their regular routine in the environment they already know! My home has a large, wooden, fenced-in backyard and is single story (for any old timers that may struggle with stairs, there are none!). I have a 10 year old Golden Retriever who is also very experienced in joining me for house/farm sitting and gets along very well with others.

Information Cara L. would like to know about your pet

Particularly if I am expected to stay in your home overnight, please be aware that my dog would need to accompany me and your pets would need to be comfortable with another dog in the house. He is aged, very friendly and has been to many house sitting gigs with me over the years! For drop in visits or walks, please let me know if your dog has any leash aggression or particular behaviors whether that is normal with you or if they’ve behaved differently for visitors in the past. We both want any interactions to be positive for both the people and the pets!

A typical day

When you’re away, I try to keep your pet in its familiar routine and doing the things they love - your input on what makes your pet happy is very important to me! Myself (and my dog) are very active and usually enjoy walks in our neighborhood or taking car rides to different parks and playing tug of war or fetch.

Availability

My daily routine is already centered around my dogs meals and being active with him! My work in the second half of the year is primarily morning hours, and with it being remote part of the week, that leaves me more time for walks, drop in visits, or caring for pets in my home or yours!
