Highlights
Pet care experience
Like camp for your pups!
I have over thirty years experience caring for all sorts of pets from horses and dogs to chickens and fish. You name it, I've done it! In the past, we fostered over a hundred rescue dogs for over 20 years. I am very used to having dogs come and go regularly and have dealt with a variety of pets and pet personalities. While your dog is here, they will get lots of love, exercise and socialization with our small pack of dogs and various farm animals, like stay away camp! I have fully fenced back yard with a pool and a separate fully fenced front yard which provides over an acre and a half of space to play, swim and have fun. I can also offer leashed or off leash walks in the desert or rides with my horses if desired. My dog savvy daughter is excellent with animals as well, and loves to play. If your pup loves to ride in cars I can make that happen too!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lara is a complete professional and was really accomodating to a lot of inconveniences i threw at her. For my vacation i had a dog sitter cancel on me last minute. Lara accepted my request and gave me the benefit of trust enough when i told her my pittbull mix would be safe with her dogs and familly. I was very late with drop off, and i had to last minute extend my stay one more night. She handled the last minute drop off expertly, taking the dog for a run before meeting everybody and it all ran smooth. Lara sends the perfect amount of update photos and was very caring toward our dog. I definitely recommend.
Lara was great with communication to assure us that our dog was having a wonderful time. Definitely will rebook!
Lara was absolutely incredible! We had a last-minute need for dog boarding, and she was so willing and accommodating to help us out. Throughout the stay, she was extremely responsive and respectful. We loved receiving regular picture updates, which gave us total peace of mind seeing that our dog was happy and doing so well. Our pup was truly treated like family here. We appreciate her amazing care so much and would definitely book again! We even extended our dog’s stay.
She was absolutely excellent! Great updates and photos. Beautiful place for my dog to play and stay. Will use again
Lara was great. She was friendly and kind and had a great place and really loved and took care of my dog. I could see that she really loved animals and was a wonderful person. I will definitely be bringing my dog to her the next time I need a sitter. I would highly recommend her.
Lara was exceptional! She sent lots of updates and let me know how Ollie was doing. Would not hesitate to use her again if I need boarding!!

Schedule
Our animals and yours are treated like family. They have free range of the house and sleep in my bedroom with me. We spend a lot of time outside, take frequent walks and go for rides in the car or with the horses if it suits your pup. My dogs are rarely left for more than 2-3 hours alone and when I do have to leave them for short periods they can have access to a securely fenced yard, depending on the weather and who is visiting.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have two separate securely fenced yards that they will have access to at all times while we are home. I also have a separate temperature controlled indoor area where they can play, chew and nap while we are gone. Everything is secure and monitored with security cameras to keep everyone safe. I also have several crates in various sizes, so if your pup prefers a crate or alone time, I can accommodate them. When we leave, all animals are either left in secure crates if needed or free to roam the house. Depending on the dogs we have visiting, they may also have access to the back yard, or the temperature controlled indoor play area while we are away.
Pets
A typical day
We usually have lots of play time in the mornings and afternoons especially for active dogs! On leash or off leash walks are available depending on the pup. We have horses also, so our active dogs join us for morning and afternoon chores and can go on rides whenever possible. If couch surfing is preferred, that’s ok too!

- I would love to know your dogs special needs, routine, personality, feeding schedule and activity level prior to their stay. Any medications they need, their sleep routine and any other info you can provide is very helpful!
