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.

Cara is the best dog sitter. Our Goldendoodle loved her stay so much, which I could tell by the daily pictures sent and communication from Cara. We look forward to more visits when/if we travel in the future!

Cara was an excellent dogsitter. She communicated well, sent great photos, and made sure my older dog Cosmo was comfortable. He loved being able to sit on the couch and the bed :) We would definitely have Cosmo return to Cara's again in the future.
