Pet care experience

Friendly, fun and reliable!

I am a lifelong dog lover with a flexible schedule- I work from home two days a week which gives me extra time and availability to care for the pups! I live in a townhouse with a yard and park just around the corner, perfect for walks and playtime. I also volunteer with a local animal rescue, so I have hands on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Feel free to contact with any questions.

Lara took great care of my dog for a weekend. She was responsive, flexible and sent the perfect amount of photos and check in messages! I would definitely re-book and recommend her to anyone.

Lara was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover so we were a little apprehensive but Lara went above and beyond with our pups. She was super communicative and provided daily photos/updates on our dogs throughout the week. Our Golden had a few health issues pop up right before we left for vacay but Lara took great care of her and administered all of the meds every day to ensure she was well on her way back to full health by the time we got home. I have a feeling Lara will be our new go-to pet/house sitter moving forward!

Lara always takes amazing care of our furry man. She takes him on early walks and even took him on a field trip to the pet store. She's flexible with our pick up and drop off and always in communication with notes and photos. We are so glad to have her.

This is the second time Lara has watched Nala and she has been great!! She sends lots of pictures and communicates well. It’s clear she is a dog lover and I know Nala is in good hands with her!

Lara watched my husky when I was in a pinch and was a great sitter! She took her on long walks and was super communicative. I’ll def use her again!

Schedule

I currently work hybrid in the office Tues-thurs with the flexibility to step away during the day if needed so I have open availability to care for dogs/cats. My boyfriend who lives with me is home all day. I walk about 5 miles a day and love having a companion!

Safety, trust & environment

I have always owned a dog so I understand the care that I would want provided for my pet when I am out of town. I also volunteer for a shelter so I have experience with all different types of dogs.

A typical day

I have a lovely neighborhood for walks and love hiking! I also love cuddles on the couch and watching tv. Whatever they like works for me!

I live in a town house so I prefer a dog that doesn’t bark too much and is potty trained. Very walkable area and I love having a walking buddy!
