Highlights
Pet care experience
I’d be honored to meet your pet!
I’ve been enamored with animals my entire life. They add an element of joy and peace that nothing else has come close to. As a child I dedicated all of my time and allowance to my eclectic hobby farm complete with goats, chickens, ducks, numerous dogs and cats, rabbits, fish, birds and eventually horses. The amount of purpose animals have given me is indescribable and I couldn’t imagine a life without them. I am excited to be able to provide the level of care and attention I would want my own pets to receive when unable to be with them, and I am confident you will be happy with my service. I am a substitute at my children’s school, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your precious pets, too! I currently have two senior kitties that require a little extra TLC, a rescue dog, and I ride horses multiple times a week, so I’m no stranger to the world of animal care. I would love the opportunity to share my experience and passion with you and your animals! I understand the level of commitment and work pets require, and I promise to treat your animals as if they were my very own. Can’t wait to meet you!

Safety, trust & environment
I’m obsessive when it comes to my own animal’s health and well being. Keeping your pet safe, secure and happy is my number one priority. I take time frames, requests, and special needs very seriously, and you can trust me to do everything in my power to meet your dog or cat’s needs, whatever they may be.
Ratings and reviews
Lara did an amazing job taking care of our cats. She provided updates and pictures everyday. Lara is attentive and trustworthy. 10/10!!
Lara was warm, kind, and very helpful. I know my kitties are in good hands and it gives me so much peace of mind.
Lara has a natural affinity for animals. Whether they are cats, dogs or horses, they must sense her generous heart because they all love her. When she has cared for my dogs, I knew that they were being loved and kept safe.
I have known Lara for over 15 years and we met because of an initial bond over the love of animals. Lara cares deeply for the well being of every animal she meets, often going above and beyond what is asked for - giving more and meeting unspoken needs of these animals as well. She communicates in love and kindness and gains the trust and respect of all those four legged that cross her path. She is my first go-to when I need a hand with one of my own!
Lara Bogaard is one of the most caring and conscientious people I know. She has exceptionally high standards for performance in her life, and if she says she will do something you can count on it getting done in a timely and professional fashion. Lara is very intelligent and a great communicator. You can trust that your pet is in good hands with her. I have known Lara Bogaard for many years, and I know her to be a true animal lover. She will love your pet like it is her own. Not that she is a pushover; if your animal has behavior issues she will work with them in a strong, confident, and positive manner. She does lots of positive rewards and encouragement with animals and little kids. She is approachable and trustworthy at all times, a person people turn to for good listening and solid advice. She is a natural leader that approaches each challenge in life with a positive attitude and true compassion. If you choose to work with Lara, you will be thrilled with her care for your pet.
Lara is a fantastic and responsible dog owner and care taker. She has cared for her own dog through many health issues and has always shown such compassion and care for pets. I would trust Lara with my dog anytime.

Schedule
I have a great deal of flexibility in my schedule to walk your dogs and snuggle your kitties! I currently have a very part-time job, but I enjoy being busy, active and outside! I love to walk outdoors, rain or shine, and enjoy nothing more than a long stroll with a cute pup.
