Pet care experience

Experienced. Reliable. Loving.

With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and homes, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every animal I meet. I've volunteered and worked at dog shelters and animal sanctuaries, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals; not just dogs and cats but also rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, and sheep. I'm comfortable with all types of pets, from mischievous puppies and large breeds to reactive or anxious animals. I’m experienced in administering medication and following detailed care routines. Whether your pet needs extra patience, playtime, or just a steady presence while you're away, I’m here to help.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. I’ll follow their routine, provide lots of attention, and take your dog on their favorite walk or outing. I will keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away, even if you’re only gone for a day or half day.

Lara did an excellent job taking care of my two 🐈 .She was always on time and very reliable, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates she provided after each visit—it was reassuring to know how my cats were doing and that they were in good hands. She was attentive, caring, and clearly experienced with pets. My cats were well taken care of, and I could tell they were comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Lara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter!

Lara was prompt, communicative and thorough when taking care of our cat, Miso. I look forward to having her return for my next, as yet unplanned, getaway!

House Sitting • Dec 12, 2025

We are so thankful we found Lara to watch our sweet girl Frannie while we were away! She is slow to warm up to new people and doesn’t make the best first impression, but Lara was extremely patient and gracious with her every step of the way. We were kept updated with photos and videos the entire time and were so happy to see that they bonded so well. Lara went out of her way taking Frannie on multiple walks per day, and she even took out our trash cans on trash day without us asking. We highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!

Lara was great for Shorty. They explored extra spots around the neighborhood and that made me feel better about her getting stimulation while I was out of town. They bonded and I will definitely try to book Lara again. Also very much appreciated her visiting before I left to get to know Shorty and her attention to details. Thank you!

Schedule

Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into a busy day - it is my day. As a professional pet sitter, your pet’s needs come first on my schedule. My flexible hours mean they get consistent, focused attention, love, and care from morning to night.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Lara can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I offer a free meet-and-greet to all new clients so I can get to know you and your pet(s). This is when I learn everything about them, such as when and what they eat, the toys they love, where they like to walk, grooming needs, medications, etc. Does your dog prefer chasing a ball in the yard, or is a walk more their thing? By understanding their unique preferences, I can make sure they’re happy and healthy while you’re away. If your pet suffers from anxiety, is reactive, or has certain "quirks", that’s not a problem - I just need to know ahead of time so I can keep them safe and comfortable.
