Active-fenced yd-3 friendly pups <3

Pet care experience

My husband and I have rescued our wonderful dogs from local shelters and it has turned out to be the best decisions we have ever made. We have a 4 year old German short haired pointer mix, an 11 year old russel terrier, and a 4 year old Husky mix. These pups absolutely love other dogs! Our dogs are our babies and we will treat your fur-baby as part of our little pack as well! We are well-versed in taking care of dogs of all ages, including special needs. We have also used Rover before to find sitters for our own pups and understand how the service works. We are a very active and young family who will take your dog to the park along with our own, go on runs and walks each day, and snuggle them all night! Furniture is not off limits at our place! Your babies are in good hands with us. We hope to hear from you soon!

Best pet sitting experience ever. Cara treated Bear like a member of her own family.

So thankful for Cara for providing a safe place for our Luna to stay while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and pictures/videos. Luna is a very shy dog and I could tell she was SO happy and comfortable while she was there. Thank you, Cara!!

A typical day

We absolutely love to go to the dog park every day! We go on walks around our neighborhood as well as on hikes on nearby trails. Car rides with the windows down, playing fetch at the park, snuggling on the couch, playing tug of war, and going to see other dog friends are some of our favorite activities. We have a fenced in yard and a doggy door :)
