    Michael and I had an excellent experience working with Cara at Utah Cocker Spaniels. Cara was communicative throughout the process, responded quickly when we had questions, and made sure we had the information we needed as we prepared for Murphy to come home. From the time she matched us with Murphy until we picked him up, she regularly sent updated photos and videos, which we especially appreciated as we watched him grow over those weeks. Cara was also very accommodating when we needed to wait a couple of weeks beyond the usual pickup time. She continued to care for Murphy, kept his vaccinations on schedule, and made sure he was microchipped before pickup. Finally, Cara was willing to meet me at the Salt Lake City airport, which allowed me to fly in that morning, meet her and Murphy, and fly home with him that afternoon. Throughout the process, Cara was responsive, flexible, friendly, and kind. We are very pleased with our experience with Cara and, of course, very happy to have Murphy as part of our family. Thank you Cara! Greg and Michael

    Cara was wonderful to work with. This was our first puppy and we could immediately tell how much she loves the puppies considering all the work she had already put in to potty train and crate train, which made the transition so easy for us. She had a folder with a lot of information including the schedule that our puppy was which was easy for us to follow and build upon. Our puppy has been a joy and a wonderful addition to our family. I highly recommend Cara and would work with her again in a heartbeat!.

    Cara was great to work with! My family and I were looking for our first dog, and she made it a great first experience for us. She was very responsive and frequently sent videos and photos, as well as thorough updates, which were helpful as a first time puppy owner. Pick up was quick and easy and I felt like we were well prepared to bring our little puppy home. I would recommend Cara to anyone looking for a cockapoo puppy, especially a first time owner!

    I picked up our puppy from Cara on Tuesday and was just thrilled. We had been talking for over a month about this sweet little girl and Cara had been sending me stories and photos and videos. When she met me at the airport, Cara brought a little bag of toys and dog food, a little pink collar, a blanket that had her momma’s scent and a folder full of information to make the transition easy on both us and our new puppy. We couldn’t be happier! Thank you Cara for our beautiful little girl!

    Cara was so helpful. We flew to Salt Lake City to pick up our two mini poodles and we couldn’t be more happy. Cara was responsive throughout the process, answered all of our questions and made sure we had everything we needed to bring our fur babies home. In addition, the pups first wellness checks at the vet went great! 10/10 and I would definitely recommend Cara.
