Pet care experience

14 years of puppies/recuses/elderly and fostering!

Hi, I’m lara. I’m 20 and studying at University of Liverpool and home in Surrey during holidays. I am studying Biology, I spend most of my time running and I have looked after many dogs over the years including puppies/rescues and nervous dogs. Until recently, I had a 14 year old french bulldog, Tilly, who sadly passed of old age, I have great experience in puppy care, as well as also growing up with my nanna, who fostered so many rescue dogs across 10 years, including spaniels, cockers, red setters, and many others! By being around these rescue animals from such a young age, I’ve gained good practice in helping dogs that need a little extra help/attention/time, as well looking after dogs who don’t do well around other dogs or people, as my dog lost her mobility and ability to eat through her last days so my knowledge and ability to assist is well practiced. I would really love to help you out by looking after your dog!

Safety, trust & environment

I have always grown up with pets, ranging from rescues to puppies as well as fostering dogs, so my experience is well rounded in nervous dogs as well as high energy and teething puppies Until losing my 14 year old dog this month, as an early riser, I had always been first to set up her day or get her out for a walk, even into her last days where things like walking or going to the toilet were difficult for her, I established a morning routine including a liquid diet and help with mobility.

Lara is brilliant. She looked after our cat for a week whilst we were away. She never let us down and even had to clean up a mouse our cat had left her as a gift 😅🐭. Thanks Lara, we’ll be booking again.

Lara was great. She arrived on time and was available on short notice when someone else had to cancel last-minute. She followed all of our dog's care instructions and he was well looked after. Thanks for saving the day, Lara!
