Pet care experience

Loving care when you can’t be there

I have been a dog walker for the last couple of years and now have the space in my home to help board as well. I grew up with shelties and I’ve cared for puppies, seniors and high-energy breeds. I love long walks and will make sure your pup feels happy, loved and safe while you’re away. Caring for animals is my number one passion in life, all shapes and sizes!

Cara provided the best care for Jellybean! She helped with meds, eyedrops, and was flexible with my schedule. I received lots of pictures throughout my dog’s stay which made me feel even more assured that my girl was in the best hands.

Cara was in touch with updates about my dog the whole time I was away. She gave her plenty of walks and was helpful and flexible with pickup and drop-off.

Schedule

I currently work from home so I am able to take your pet out and care for them throughout the day. I live right by the West Side Highway so will be able to treat your dogs to some lovely long walks by the water! If your pup is up to it, I can even take them on a nice jog to burn some energy.

I have no other pets so my home will be your pets playground for the time they stay with me. I have a nice living room where your pup can hang with me while I work from home!

A typical day

Depending on your dog level of energy, I’m happy to take them on a run with me (I am an avid runner) or we can just play around outside and enjoy a nice walk.
