Safety, trust & environment

I’m a very attentive caretaker. I don’t make plans or want to leave a dog alone if I am taking care of them. I have a pretty active lifestyle and want a dog I’m caring for to have a lot of engagement and activity during the day! I love dogs that like to be close, yes they can sleep in my bed, if they are shy and want to be alone or attached attention lovers, I’ll provide whatever type of care your dog prefers.

Information Lara B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any needs or preferences. If they have a schedule you want me to stick to, or whatever will make them most comfortable in a new environment and with a new person!

A typical day

I think dogs need a lot of engagement. If they are social and like to be around other dogs, I can take them to friendly dog parks in the area. If they like to be alone more, we’ll do a lot of solo walks and if it’s too cold or they are tired, we can play with toys inside!

Your dogs new BFF

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and all my close relatives have them. From smaller chihuahuas to living with a husky, I love all dogs! Dogs are like humans to me and since I don’t have my own right now, I miss getting to care for and have the canine company of furry friends!

Lara is the absolute best! Our dog, Bam, gets so excited when he sees her! She takes great care of him, and she’s super easy to coordinate with. This is our go-to sitter in DC!

Lara was amazing! Great communication, kept our dog so entertained and active, and was so easy to schedule drop off and pick up. 10/10 will be booking with Lara again! 😊

Laura was a huge help watching Oakley for the day! She kept him entertained and us updated. Would recommend and won't hesitate to book again!

Lara was so caring for our dog, Alabama. Alabama is an older Greyhound with some health issues. Lara was very accommodating for him, putting his boots on for his walk and giving him lots of rest.
