Safety, trust & environment

I service only at client's home. Given that I have a cat home, I want to make sure your fur baby is comfortable in their own home and space, rather than introducing them to a new space with a new cat.

Information Lara B. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if your pet has any specific anxieties or behaviors beforehand. If there is anything they may need that might not be typical to best prepare! I also would like to make sure I meet all your expectation and if there is any particulars from me in taking care of your pet

A typical day

I love getting dogs to use their brain and I'm a true believer that all pets deserve to exert the energy they have. Lick mats, engaging toys, frozen treats, and walk/runs have all helped dogs that Ive taken care of.

Reliable Companion for Fur Babies

Pet care experience

Ive been been an avid animal lover my whole life, and spending time with animals brings me great joy. Over the years, I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of different sizes and ages. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I am very detail oriented, and will follow all instructions you give me on how to take care of your pet. As a both, a pet owner and Rover user, I understand the great responsibility I am given, and the anxiety that comes for you and your pet, and I want to make sure I am able to help by being your pet's companion, as well as communicating and giving you all needed updates!

Lara is great and Fergus was so comfortable with her! She took the time to ask questions and was very detail-oriented in terms of what we wanted her to do/how do it. We will definitely be asking Lara to walk our pup in the future. Thank you again!!

I’ve had my cat for five years, and anytime I need someone to take care of her, I know I can count on Lara! She genuinely loves animals, and they seem to love her just as much! She’s incredibly responsible, attentive, and caring. She always makes sure my cat is fed, has fresh water, is comfortable, and gets plenty of attention and affection while I’m away. She’s also very dependable and takes pet care seriously, which gives me so much peace of mind. I never have to worry when my cat is with her because I know she’s being well cared for and treated with lots of love. She ensures she sends me pictures and gives me updates while she takes care of my cat. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter.

Lara took wonderful care of my partner's dog and I couldn't have asked for better. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Our pup was happy and well looked after the whole time. I'd absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter.

I have known Lara since 2018, and since then, she has been the one looking after my pets whenever I travel. Her love for animals is evident, and I would trust her with any member of my four-legged family without hesitation. She is responsible, professional, and very affectionate. Lara has been a huge help to me; she knows how to handle unexpected situations, and my pets adore her. She’s simply the best!!
