Information Cara M. would like to know about your pet

Are they house broken? Toy aggressive? How are they on a leash and with other dogs? I have a dog at home and there are others in the apartment I live in, so it is important that your dog is well socialized and has not shown any aggression towards dogs.

A typical day

I walk my dog around two to three times a day as he is high energy. We walk around the neighborhood and through local trails. If I leave I like to do activities that I can include my dog in so that way he is not home alone. I also enjoy hiking with my dog, so if your dog is able to hike that can be available for them!

Pet care experience

Howdy! I've been on rover for a few years now. I briefly stopped in 2023 and then in 2024 I moved down to SD. Now that my pooch and I are settled in we are ready to dog sit again! Throughout my time with Rover I developed a number of regular folks that trusted their dogs with me and my pooch. I have one dog, Butler. He's 8 and is a loving and patient dalmatian. And as you can see in the photos uploaded he definitely enjoys the dog company 🐾 See below for my work schedule :)

If you’re in the downtown area are looking for somebody in the downtown area. Cara was really good. She was able to take care of Samara my dog very well making sure she took her on walks very periodically. More than other sitters that I have experienced. She will make your dog feel like one of hers while keeping you updated throughout the day. Cara provided pictures and text update's if you’re looking for a sitter, Cara is perfect.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
