Pet care experience

FRIENDLY AND LOVING WITH ANIMALS.

I have taken care of different animals since I was 7 years old. I know how to handle pets and take good care of them. I have taken care of two dogs, twelve guinea pigs, one rabbit, and two hamster at the same time. I have worked professionally as a pet sitter and a pet groomer. I treat the animals I care for as family members. I graduated from college a few years ago, and now I work at home full time taking care of pets. I take the animals for walks. At night, the pets will sleep in my room, and I will make the pets feel at home. My house has two levels. There is a large fenced-in backyard for the dogs to play. (4000ft²). I have two dogs, one is a Goldendoodle and one is a German Shepherd. They are both very friendly and love to play with other dogs. They are also very gentle and share things with other animals.

We had such a wonderful experience! She was incredibly attentive and caring, and I really appreciated how well she communicated with us throughout the stay. She sent lots of videos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected to our dog while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared and paid close attention to our dog’s needs. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again!

Cara took great care of Runa for three days! It was Runa’s first time staying away from home, and since she is a very high-energy dog, we were a little nervous. But she had a wonderful time playing with the other dogs all day and came home happy. We felt Runa was in good hands and would definitely book with Cara again!

Cara was so great. She has a calm, confidence to her with the dogs. My dog can be anxious sometimes, and Cara was very accommodating to her needs and even built her confidence. She sent me multiple videos a day of her. My dog has to take five pills by mouth, and Cara handled it no problem. I highly recommend her.
