Cara DeLaRosa - Pet Loss Grief Coach - Nationwide

Verified Member since Jun 2023 Verified checkmark

I am a Certified Pet Loss Grief Coach who supports pet parents through all aspects of their grief journey.

I began this work in 2012 after the loss of my own heart animal, and was officially certified in 2016.

I am also an animal hospice provider who performs quality of life evaluations remotely and in-person, helping pet parents determine the best time to make that most difficult decision. I teach tools to help you advocate for your animal when working with your veterinary team.

I have created a 7 month self-paced pet loss course, teach live classes and work 1-1 with pet parents.

Custom Channelled Memorial Portrait

I work from photos of your beloved angel pet to create a beautiful custom pet portrait. I call them in during my painting, and they often give color and symbol suggestions.

You receive a completed, framed portrait, ready to hang.

Follow up for established hospice clients who have completed a quality of life evaluation with me.
