Animal and Walk Lover

Pet care experience

I grew up with big dogs (one was a Saint Bernard!) that gave me a lot of experience with walking, feeding, playing, and generally caring for dogs. I now have two cats (Luna and Babs) that I adore. Throughout much of my live, I’ve walked and watched dogs, cats, and even a bird as a part time job that gives me an excuse to spend time with animals. I also help watch friends’ cats and dogs while they’re out of time. I love spending time with pets and I joined Rover to get more of that time. I take 2-3 walks a day (in the morning, at lunch time, and sometimes in the evening), so I am available and happy to walk with dogs regularly. I am also happy to host dogs that do well with cats. I work from home so I am here all day and am happy to take visiting dogs on walks or let them out in my small fenced in backyard. My flexible work schedule also allows me to work from others’ homes while petsitting outside my home. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I am available for walks or pet check-ins throughout the work week. I take 2-3 walks each day already, and love to incorporate dog walking into my schedule. I am also around most weekends. My flexible work schedule is also ideal for hosting pets that get along with cats (either for doggy day care or overnight boarding), or for petsitting in your home. I am happy to chat over the phone and/or meet in your home or in a public place, like Mitchell Park which is dog friendly, to get acquainted. I have pet and house sat for numerous people and am respectful of others’ homes. I am happy to accommodate pets in my own home and will work with each owner to make sure I have properly prepared my place beforehand. For some pets this has meant putting pet locks on cabinet doors, hiding shoes in closets, or setting up a cozy area in a safe corner.

Super stoked with Cara, who did a great job watching our 3 huskies, communicated very clearly and kept us updated with pics and reports on an ongoing basis. We already scheduled her again and are grateful for such a caring and reliable sitter.

Cara is amazing and took great care of my pups. She went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Cara if you need someone to watch your pets!

Cara us great with animals! She took care of my cat, Nili while I was away. She would always send updates with videos and pictures showing the Nili was doing well and being well cared for! Nili loves her! Nili and I would both recommend Cara as an excellent and loving animal caregiver : )

Information Cara N. would like to know about your pet

I want to work with your dogs needs, and am open to adapting to a schedule that works for each individual. Let me know if there’s any special medication or general needs for your dog. How are they on walks? Are they okay around other dogs and people, say at a dog park?

A typical day

I love taking walks and am always game to explore my own or a new neighborhood with dogs. I am an active hiker and would be happy to take pups on a dog-friendly trail (early mornings for now while it’s too hot for most in the middle of the day!). I’d love to play catch, tug of war, frisbee, or any other game with playful dogs! I also am happy to cuddle, pet, and just hang out with calmer dogs.
