Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet friendly one bedroom apartment with my significant other (who has also grown up with and cared for pets). We do not have a balcony directly attached to our apartment but we live in a building that has a gated, secure sun deck with tons of space and a fenced yard for pets in the building. We do not have any animal supplies but welcome the owners to bring their own. We have a very spacious living room that will fit any/all crates.

Information Lara H. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if your pet has any special behavioral or personal needs that I need to account for. If they get along with other dogs/ people, if they like or dislike certain games, environments & treats. I would also like to know if they like to be pet in general and if there are certain areas they don’t like to be pet.

A typical day

I am a very active individual, so I believe that staying active mentally and physically is equally as important for pets. I will go on long walks by the water and dog parks, I will play lots of games (tug of war etc.), give many tummy and butt scratches and will love your pets as they are my own :)

Openly available, cat & dog lover.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of and grew up with dogs and cats since I was just a toddler. My family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and house sit their pets. I have cared for small to large, puppy to “senior puppy” pets within different breeds.

Lara did such a good job watching my pup! She sent regular updates and photos, was always timely in her responses and my dog came home tired and happy. Will definitely use her again!

Lara was great! Very friendly and Beanie had a great pet sitting stay! She gave us updates throughout the evening and was very communicative and flexible! Will definitely use her again.
