Patient & loving animal lady

Pet care experience

Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away. Since starting Rover in August 21’, I’ve had 10+ repeat clients and have established great friendships with families/people in the community as a result. I have a M-F teaching position 8am-3pm. An hour long lunch where I can leave to care for your furries in the middle of the day depending on the distance. Dogs will be crated when I’m not home. A little history: I grew up with a miniature schnauzer (Zoie) whom towards the end of her life, needed constant supervision and was administered medicine 3x/ day, grooming/washing daily. I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved. I have a white fur baby (Minnie). Shes a loyal, sweet and well behaved dog, I’m so lucky and thankful for her every day. She’s great with other animals too. She barks loud when she sees new people. She does stay home with my family while I do dog sitting services. If your pet is boarding at my house, a meet and greet with our pets would be recommended, but it’s not mandatory. The main goal is to ensure all parties are comfortable with their animals stay ❤️ My residence has over an acre, private backyard, wooded land in backyard with a walking loop of 0.8 miles round trip (leashed always). If you think I’d be a good fit for your animal or have any questions or concerns, I’m here to answer it!

Cara is absolutely wonderful. She truly cares and gets to know your pet. She communicates very well during the stay. I have to admit, I was initially a little apprehensive hiring a "stranger" for my Tucker, those fears quickly subsided. Cara is the absolute best!!

We have had Cara sit our two dogs numerous times they love her. We leave for a week at a time Cara stays in our home, she’s very trust worthy. All my wife has to say is Cara’s coming they run around looking for her. We hope Cara stays a sitter for quite a while. You will be very happy with Cara.

Information Cara S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if pets have any special needs, medication, or schedule. Please let me know if the pet is house broken, crate trained, has any behavioral issues/past history as that is strongly preferred. I wouldn’t prefer/want to enter a home with a protective animal uncrated or without the owner there. A pre made written itinerary with schedule, vet contact information, emergency contact information, important info, etc. would be very helpful.

A typical day

Walks, swimming, going to nature hikes all depending on owner preference, playing fetch, going jogging, playing outside rain or shine. Always show me where their preferred toy or toy box is for playful time. Important to keep the animals brain and body moving to stay healthy.
