Completely in puppy love

Pet care experience

Lara, dog lover, pun enthusiast, and student. I provide in-home pet sitting and dog walking services to Bayou Oaks, Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores, Downtown Sarasota, and Hudson Bayou. Also willing and able to take care of cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards and other kinds of pets! With an active, eco-friendly mindset (I ride my bike everywhere) and experience with dogs both small and large and of all ages, I hope to provide quality care, tailored to your beloved furry family member. I can provide services such as specially prepared, homemade food made with all natural and healthy ingredients, care for animals with special needs, and provide the unique special attention both younger and older pets require. I've loved animals of all kinds since I was a young child. Dexter was the English Springer Spaniel I grew up with from the age of five. When he passed away while I was in high school I started a pet sitting business in my neighborhood which I continue today through Rover. I am an excellent, responsible potential care paw-fider for your pup and will do my best to ensure their quality of life during your absence with attentive care.

Awesome walks! The pups were so calm and happy when I got home. They can't wait until I have to work late again.

Lara was a doll! Took the job on short notice and took great care of my puppy. I would highly recommend her!

Information Lara H. would like to know about your pet

All dogs are unique in their personality and needs. What makes them most comfortable? What treats do they like? Do they have any allergies? In addition to all the loveable aspects of your companion, I will want know what their anxiety levels are like (especially during storm or fireworks), how they tend to act around other dogs and animals, and what they do and do not like to do. Are they nervous around new people? If so, then I'd like to meet them and go on a walk with you before I take them out myself. I love all kinds of dogs and have no breed preferences.

A typical day

I can work with you to provide a tailored route to walk your dog in your own neighborhood and can include any additional activities based on their enrichment needs (social, active, or cognitive) and stamina. Doggie hygiene is important, too! I am willing to provide baths on a bi-weekly basis or as needed basis for a small additional fee.
