Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Lara, and I've grown up loving and caring for dogs my whole life. I've lived in Chicago for four years since graduating from college, and I now live in a very pet-friendly apartment just steps away from the Lake and Lincoln Park. Not only is it the perfect location to bring your dog for a walk or a run, but I am also available at home full-time with a very flexible schedule working as a writer, so I can give your dogs all the love and care they need throughout the day. While I don't have a dog now, I grew up with two cocker spaniel/poodle mixes and miss having a furry pal around. I am available to take your dogs on walks and runs, stop by your house to check on them, or dog sit them overnight -- all while giving them plenty of cuddles, attention, and love. Additionally, I am more than willing to send you pictures and updates if you ever need them. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Lara was great! My normally shy cats were clearly very comfortable with her and she took great care of them. She was very communicative and sent lots of great pics during her stay.

Lara is a great communicator, attentive and responsive to my dog’s needs. I know my dog Austin would like to hang out with Lara again. Thank you.

Information Lara A. would like to know about your pet

Before a stay, I'd like to learn your pup’s normal feeding and exercise schedule or routine as well as their favorite toys, treats, activities, and games. Also knowing if your pup has any ailments or behavioral tendencies allows me to provide the best possible care to every dog.

A typical day

I live steps from Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan, so we will be playing and walking there.
