Pet care experience

Do more of what you love!

I absolutely love dogs. My dream was to become a veterinarian that specialized in animal behavior. Instead I became a registered nurse with two dogs. As a registered nurse, I have learned how much people love there own pets and need assistance caring for pets. Therefore, I would love to care for those in need. Yet, it is important to note that I have experience caring for dogs. Through high school and college, I paid my way through by walking dogs and dog sitting. When clients went on vacation, I would care for the dogs by stopping by to play with the dogs, feed the dogs, and walk the dogs. I miss caring for dogs, and as a nurse I can be trusted to give wonderful care.

Cara is sweet and caring with our dog. Sugar just had ACL surgery and is not supposed to put any weight on her back leg. We could not have found anyone better to take care of her. We are very pleased with her. We would recommend her to anyone.

Cara was great! On time, professional, communicative, and great with our pups! When we need a sitter again, we will definitely call Cara!

Cara use to watch my rottweiler (Jade) and my chocolate lab (cocoa) when we would take family trips. Both of my girls would be excited to see Cara and where always taken very good care of and treating with love. I always felt like I was leaving my fur babies with a close trusted family member, Cara always treated my dogs as I feel she would treat her own loved pets. I only wish she still lived close by so she could still watch my fur babies. In my opinion you wont find a more trustworthy, dependable, and loving care taker for your fur babies. I am sure you will feel the same once you meet Cara!

Cara took such great care of our beautiful Labs, Mindy and Lucy. On many occasions we had to leave the state for more than a week and one time in excess of two weeks for family emergencies. In short our furry family members loved being with her. She fed them, took them for walks, and spent alot of valuable time with them. We had no worries when she cared for them. She is a lover of all animals and on a scale of 10 she is a 10.

Felt comfortable leaving Cassie with a fellow dog lover and someone who has has a husky before and understands their “runner” mentality. Cassie was well taken care of and we will be a repeat customer!

They say you can judge a person by how they treat animals. No truer a statement can be said when it comes to Cara whose gentle heart is reflected in how kind and caring she is with animals. I saw this in Cara when she took care of my dog Sheila at a time when I was home but preoccupied with young children. Cara walked Sheila 2 - 3 times per day, fed her on time, and made sure she always had fresh clean water. During that time, I witnessed Cara's heartfelt concern and empathy for animals in how she interacted with our family pet. She constantly spoke to her in a loving tone, played with her, cuddled her, and handled her in the way that a benevolent pack leader would. I highly recommend Cara to anyone who wants their animal to be loved and cared for by someone with a kind and gentle heart.

Let me know if there are special needs or behaviors. I have cared for pets that needed medication or special assistance. I am unable to care for aggressive or reactive pets at this time.
