Safety, trust & environment

Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their happiness and well-being. With experience in crate training, which my own dogs follow, I provide a safe and comfortable environment. Daily walks and playtime are integral to my routine—I walk my dogs twice daily to ensure exercise and mental stimulation. I am well-versed in accommodating special diets and allergies, respecting each client's feeding preferences without compromise. Living in Texas, I am acutely aware of the dangers of heat for dogs and always prioritize their safety by choosing the appropriate times for outdoor activities.

Information Lara C. would like to know about your pet

Please share if your dog has any special needs or accommodations that I need to know about! I am well versed in caring for injured, senior, and puppies. I have experience with dogs going through major surgery and understand the importance of putting their wellbeing first!

A typical day

I love to ensure that all the doggies I care for are both mentally and physically stimulated! Walks with lots of sniffs, playing fetch, or simply lots of pets are all things I aim to provide!

Passionate dog sitter ready to care

Pet care experience

As a lifelong dog enthusiast, I bring a wealth of hands-on experience to my dog sitting services. Growing up surrounded by dogs and currently raising two of my own, I've honed my skills in training and understanding canine behavior. Beyond my own pets, I've assisted in training family and friends' dogs, recognizing that each furry friend has their own personality and needs. I take pride in providing personalized care, ensuring your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while in my care!
