Pet Specialist

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Cara! I love all animals- domestic, exotic, and wildlife. I've worked as a veterinary receptionist, boarding kennel associate, and doggy daycare attendant. I also come from a wildlife background, completing my second Avian Wildlife Rehabilitation Internship August 2019 with the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center and 6 months of work at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in their Wild Friends department as a Wildlife Rehabilitator, Caretaker, and Educator. I have training with administering fluids and medications, as well as wound care. I was a professional dog trainer with Dog Training Elite in Colorado, specializing in advanced obedience training and service dog training, and was promoted to being the branch manager for their Colorado Springs location. I have worked with every size, age, temperament, etc. of dogs out there and a plethora of cats and exotic animals. I have fostered and adopted out multiple cats and dogs as well as one rat, one pigeon, and 3 Leopard Geckos. I have one dog- Kida Bear (2 yr old spayed Newfoundland), 2 cats- Pumpkin Spice and Gru (female calico and male black tabby), and a Green Cheek Conure (a small parrot) named Aang. I strive to offer top quality care for your pets, providing them with everything they need and giving you peace of mind! I would love to help you and your pet by becoming your new Rover Sitter, thank you!

Absolutely could not recommend a more caring and loving pet sitter than Cara. I am a crazy, anxious dog mom and I feel so at ease knowing my pups are in her hands. Her communication is great, she is punctual, affordable, and I know she loves my animals like they're her own. Sometimes I think they look forward to us traveling so they get to see Cara! I feel so lucky that we found her!

Cara watched our dogs for a weekend while we went out of state. We were worried about who to watch them, because one of them was sick and needed medication, plus the dog is old and gets grouchy and the other just likes to run and be a huge dork. Cara stayed at the house, played with our fuzz balls, took care of them, sent us pictures and made being away so much easier for us! She was simply wonderful and I can't recommend her enough! She really is the best and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!!

Cara is an awesome dog sitter !! She took the time to come to our home and meet our boy Buster before we had even hired her. After observing Cara's interaction with Buster , We booked her immediately !! She stayed in our home for Two nights and gave Buster the same care and attention that He is used to having from Us . Cara even administered Buster's medication in a timely manner ... Upon arriving home we found Buster and the House in the same condition we had left them in and that's a good thing... All in All , a very good experience with an extremely caring and professional sitter. Will Book Her Again !!

Information Cara N. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, behaviors, or medications that will require extra love and care. If you'd like frozen enrichment treats made for your dog, please let me know so that I can have them prepared in advance.

A typical day

I love enrichment activities and can provide snack kongs (frozen or fresh), licky mats (fresh or frozen), snuffle mats, food puzzles, & slow feeders. I love to take dogs on car rides (if they love it) and of course stop by Starbucks to get a pup cup. I can engage with dogs in short & always fun training sessions. For the kitty cats I have catnip, plenty of different toys, cat wands, and Tiki Cat Stix treats. All options are available upon request.
