Friendly and caring pet sitter
Pet care experience
I’m a Ventura native who has always loved animals and will treat your pet like my own! I was raised around a number of pets - dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and even horses. While in my early teens I volunteered at a dog rescue and then in college worked for a number of animal hospitals for 5 years. In the last few years I’ve watched friends’ pets while they’re on vacation and have decided to offer those services through Rover while I’m working remotely. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own. I also send plenty of pictures and updates - I try to give you all the info I would want when leaving my puppers!

She took great care of my pup! Would definitely book again!
Cara was quick to reply to my booking request. I appreciated how thorough she was when following up after a visit and I could tell from the pics that my kitty was so happy to play with her :) thank you so much Cara!!!
Cara took a great care of Hiewa. She suggested to spend a few minutes with her before I leave to have Hiewa know her. We were visiting Ventura, and she was pretty nervous being on the ride and spending the night in a hotel room. But, Cara knew how to have her calm down, and she had a great time with Cara and her dog. I would ask Cara for taking care of Hiewa again if I was living in the area. But, I will definitely book with her next time I visit Ventura.
So relieved to have found Cara! She was the best.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment walking distance to the beach so we will go on plenty of leashed walks while your dog is here. I spend 1 hour at the gym in the evenings on weekdays and a couple hours 2-3x a week visiting my horse, Belle. Aside from that, I’m basically always home and won’t be away from your pet much while they’re with me. When I am away, I have indoor cameras that allow me to make sure the pups are doing ok in my absence.
Home
Information Cara R. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know as much as you can provide about your pet - do they have any quirky habits I might need to know about, do they have a favorite toy, any health issues or allergies, what recommendations/tips do you have to help make them feel as comfortable as possible in your absence?
A typical day
Depending on your dogs needs, I’ll adapt to them! If they’re super active we’ll go on lots of walks. If they’re more reserved, we’ll spend more time cuddling on the couch and playing at home.

Availability
While staying with me, your pup will get the same routine my Rainey girl has: morning snuggles in bed, then a nice walk around the neighborhood and breakfast before my morning calls, a lunchtime walk break, and a longer evening walk (usually on the beach trail by San Jon), followed by dinner and lots of cuddles on the couch and evening play time! If your dog is up for it we’ll also do an occasional downtown trip for coffee or lunch!
