Experienced Pet Care Provider

Pet care experience

I am an experienced dog sitter and walker. I have grown up around dogs of all sizes and breeds, so there are no dogs that I am uncomfortable around. I am very much the type of person who pets every dog she sees (assuming that they are not a service dog and I have permission from their human). Along with owning dogs and dog sitting, I also have experience volunteering at humane societies. I follow all Covid safety precautions and maintain 6 feet of distance at all times, wear double masks, sanitize surfaces, and wash my hands frequently. For pet sitting services only: I do have another job so I will generally be gone around 8 hours a day, but during the hours I am with your dog(s) they will be extremely well taken care of. I love all breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. That said, I especially excel with senior dogs, large and extra large breeds, and bully breeds. I am also comfortable, and have experience with, taking care of cats, small mammals, birds, snakes, and more. If you have a pet that needs sitting, I am more than happy to take care of it.

Cara is the best! I have no worries at all when I know Cara is going to be there. She plays with our pets, takes them on walks, and cuddles them as much or maybe even more than we do. I trust her completely with our pets and our home. Will book Cara for future trips.

As always, Cara is great with Butch and we feel very safe in having her stay at our house. She's a gem!

Cara was wonderful and detail oriented. She touched base with us a couple times during our vacation to let us know that all was fine and gave us the piece of mind we needed to enjoy our trip.

Once again Cara was the best! We were gone for 11 days and Cara made sure our trash was on the curb, the plants were watered and most of all that our dog, Butch, was happy and well cared for. Cara is the best!

Safety, trust & environment

Before we agree to any job, I will need to meet you and your pet. If we area match, I will then need to see your home (I only pet sit in your home). You will walk me through everything your pet does in a day and what their needs and expectations are. My goal is to force as little change as possible and keep them in a location and routine that they are comfortable and secure with.

Information Cara P. would like to know about your pet

I'll need to know any relevant medical history (injuries, allergies, illnesses they're taking medication for, etc.), emergency contact information, etc. Breed-wise I am open to any dog (I've been around all sizes and breeds for my entire life) but I do admit to a soft spot for bully breeds, terriers, and basset hounds.

A typical day

I am a very relaxed dog sitter. I will play with your dog, walk them, feed them, and operate on the schedule that they are used to. I understand that not all dogs are the same, but that most are creatures of habit. Thus I will establish with you beforehand what you expect of me and what your dog needs from me, and will proceed from there.
