About Cara P.

Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
Growing up, we would take out dogs outside on a leash for them to use the bathroom. Currently, we have a gated area that our dogs can use to relieve themselves and enjoy the fresh air. Additionally, a we also have leads that our cats are connected to so that they can also enjoy the outside air while ensuring their safety from predators and triggers of fear. When leashed, our animals wear harnesses as this is safer for them not only medically, but socially as well. A harness also decreases the chances and opportunities for them to slip out and run away.
Information Cara P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know before if your dog has any special needs and or accommodations! This ranges from food/dietary restrictions, off-limit areas (e.g., rooms, couches, beds, etc.), medications, physical accommodations, or even little things that only you know enrich your dog. For example, one of my dogs gets so excited to roll in a wet towel from a shower or the wash.

Pets
A Respectful and Kind Animal Lover!
Pet care experience
From growing up in a home that always had pets, I have cared for various animals my entire life. From my own personal experience, I have cared for puppies, adults, and senior dogs. This has provided me with experience in general and specialized care. Specifically, I have puppy/potty trained, provided various medications, and grooming/bathing. I have worked with animals of various sizes and breeds. Neighbors, friends, and families have trusted me to not only ensure that their animal was cared for, but that their house was as well. I am a huge animal lover that you can trust to make sure your fur-family member is not just cared for, but loved while you are away!
