Pet care experience

Lover of any and all animals

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!

Dog Walking • Sep 15, 2025

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!

Cara did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was out of town and she even watered my plants. I would definitely hire her again!
