My husband and I both work from home. Our son lives at home and attends UCSB. I am the person in charge of your pet’s care but I wanted you to know who is also on the property. We are all animal lovers and have had years of experience with dog walks, dog play, cuddles, giving meds, doggie accidents, specific feedings, doggie diapers and general overall care and love.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a completely fenced in yard -dogs in our care have access to many inside and outside areas. We live in a very safe and quiet cul de sac and when we take dogs for a walk in our neighborhood many treats are given at various neighbor’s homes. Also, your dog will pretty much never be left alone. Even if I have to run a quick errand I would only do so when my husband or son is at home with the dog.

Information Cara O. would like to know about your pet

My preference is for low energy breeds. Our home is perfect for a small or medium size dog that wants to sunbathe in the fenced in front yard. Then we’ll go on a walk or two and meet friendly neighbors that like to give treats!

A typical day

We will take walks in the safe and friendly neighborhood, cuddle breaks, ball throws, and visits to other dog lovers and lots of attention and love.

Will love ur pup like they’re mine!

Pet care experience

I’ve owned, fostered & rescued pets my whole life. We lost our 17yo pup and we’re ready to love on someone else’s fur babies with all the love we’re missing. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs or special needs dogs and also we only have 1 dog in our home at a time so that they get 100% of our attention!

We always have our Dog stay with Cara. If she’s available she is our first pick. She takes such good care of our dog Bowie and we feel ease every time knowing that he’s in her care! ❤️❤️

Cara was wonderful. She treated our dog like it was her own - with love, care, and attention. We got frequent updates and pictures so our minds were at ease. If we are ever in need again, Cara will be our first choice.

Cara is the best. We always have our dog say with her and she takes such good care of him and sends lots of updates! He always comes home with a smile after being in Cara’s care ☺️

Cara was absolutely amazing! She sent us updates and pictures so we knew that our little guy was doing well, took him all walks and had a great backyard area for him to play! Her care for our dog was completely genuine and loving. I would highly recommend Cara!
