Dog loving Mother, and Trainer
Pet care experience
I had a large collie growing up, and 2 very energetic German Short-haired Pointers in my 20's and 30's. I currently have a yellow Lab, named Ginger. She was the smallest of her litter, and is 45 pounds of water and ball centric happiness. My mom, brothers, sisters and friends all have dogs. I have walked and babysat for varying in size and energy from Bulldogs, Terriers, Dalmatians, Rottweilers, Labs, and even an Akita. Working for Rover over the past year, I have cared for even more breeds, from puppies to incontinent elders. All hold a special place in my heart. I look forward to meeting your pup, and taking her/him out to play! I am a Certified Personal Trainer, a Massage Therapist, Yoga Instructor, Reiki Practicioner and Animal Intuitive. I learned that calming and training people, applies to dogs as well. I offer dog training, massage, reiki as well. I work as an Intutive Health Coach and Trainer online and in person. I work from home, and take several walks/hikes/bike rides throughout the day. I make sure all dogs are safe, calm, clean and relaxed while staying with me. I ask that dogs are dropped off clean, flea & tick free, combed & brushed, with an item which smells of home to decrease separation anxiety. I use Easy Walk harnesses and a 6ft leash for walking. I never walk a dog with a flat collar, choke collar, or extendable leashes.
Reviews
Lara did a great job pampering our pooch. Sending lots of pix was reassuring that our snoozing dog was getting lots of exorcise and attention. I’m sure she loves her stay.
Really nice and caring family and setting.
Most amazing experience we have ever had leaving Stella! Literally like leaving her with family! Can NOT add enough stars to this review! The greatest compliment I can give is that upon our return, Stella was happy, calm, and comfortable…though she did give us the “Don’t think I forgot you left me…” look ?. Forever grateful for Lara and her family!!!!
Found our home away from home for our pup Ryder. Lara was AMAZING and treated our dog as if he were part of her family. I don’t think Ryder wanted to leave!! For sure one of the best Rover experiences we’ve ever had. Thank you Lara!!

Information Lara H. would like to know about your pet
I am interested in sitting balanced, well trained, well exercised, happy, healthy dogs. I need to know if your dog barks at people or other dogs, is house trained, sleeps through the night, walks on a leash, is being treated by an internal preventative for fleas, ticks, parasites, and is kind to children.
A typical day
We will go on walks through the forest, to Beaver Lake and around Yellow Lake, with walk before meals and at midday. We walk for 1 hour in the morning, 1 hour at 12pm, and 1 hour at 5pm, and another shorter walk between 8-10pm.
