Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment and cannot bring any pets into my home, but I will be able to care for your pet in your home, which will provide security and comfort for your pet.

Information Cara M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or care that I need to account for. Also please tell me any fun personality traits or quirks (likes/dislikes) your pet has so I can better take care of them.

A typical day

I love to discover new games that every new dog and cat likes to play, as play can vary from animal to animal. I like to take dogs on different routes day to day (as long as the dog feels safe) so they can stay stimulated by their environment.

Lover of any and all animals

Pet care experience

Growing up, I always had dogs and cats. Personally, I have a 16 year-old cat named Muffin, who I've raised since the day she was born and a 4 year-old cat named Beans that I adopted two years ago. I also rescued a stray senior and sickly cat and provided care to her (daily medication, bathing, grooming, special food) for a year and a half until her passing 3 years ago. I have experience petsitting for friends and family, and I am comfortable walking, feeding, and playing with pets.

Cara took such good care of our two cats! The photos were perfect, and sometimes hilarious. She even went beyond and vacuumed up the litter that our cats love to track around the living room. We came back to two super happy cats and would be glad to book again!

Cara did an outstanding job in watching our cat for the weekend Sept 11-16, 2025. She sent daily pics and was responsive to any messages. We will gladly go with her again!

Cara has been absolutely wonderful with Frita Beans! Frita can be a little timid at times, but Cara’s patience and gentle approach have helped her feel comfortable and happy on their walks. I feel completely at ease knowing Frita is in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog walker!
