Cara and her family took wonderful care of our dog! He had lots of fun playing with their dogs, going on walks, and sniffing around their yard. Next time we need a dog sitter in the area, we will be sure to check with her first.

Another great visit with Cara--Frieda was happy and even a little ambivalent about whether to go home!

Cara took great care of Max! So friendly but also totally on top of everything. We would be very pleased to board Max with Cara and her family again.

Oswald had a lot of fun staying over at Cara’s house, definitely would recommend her. When I picked up Oswald was so worn out from his overnight stay. He was very happy!

Frieda really enjoyed her visit with Cara. She immediately started snuffling around the beautiful yard and making herself at home. Cara pointed out comfortable places for dogs to hangout (I think Frieda tried them all). She sent pictures and messages to reassure me that Frieda was settling in. Cara is organized and experienced with dogs--I felt very confident boarding Frieda with her and would do so again!

Cara and her family had me completely at ease from our meet & greet through my dog’s stay. Cara shared photos every day and included notes - allowed me to remain confident in Fiona’s care. Cara is very responsive and excellent with communicating.
