“I cant recommend Carson enough! He took great care of our dog Murphy while we were gone on a trip. He now seems to like Carson more than us! Now when I tell him Carson is coming over, his ears go up and he runs to the window! Not only did Carson keep Murphy exercised and happy he also sent us photos and videos of him that were so cute! Carson is definitely an animal lover. He's reliable, so friendly and loved Murphy. Book him now! You wont be disappointed!”

About: I love any and all dogs! I have grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a 5 year old well-trained aussie at home! I would love to care for your animals as well ▼・ᴥ・▼ ♡ I am currently studying for the MCAT this summer so my schedule is pretty flexible! Just let me know what works best for you and your pet. I am open to whatever needs your pet requires. I am willing to walk, feed, play with, and/or give medications to your pet when needed. Personally, my aussie gets fed morning and night, goes on a 2.5 mile walk in the mornings, and sleeps with me in my bed.

“We left our sweet pup Olive with Lara for a month while we traveled and I wouldn’t trust anyone else for the job! Olive absolutely loves her, she didn’t even seem to care that we were gone.

Lara sent me pictures and videos the whole time and I felt comfortable knowing Olive was in a safe and fun place!”
