Pet care experience

Pet Parent to Pet Parent

I have always been an animal lover and have had a critter family my entire life. Growing up my household was always the first house you'd call if you were trying to find a pet a good home. (Cats/Rabbits/Dogs) and of course I married into a three dog minimum family (Cats/Dogs). I have three of my own little fur babies and one scale baby. (Dogs/Gecko) Each with their own personality and demands. If you want pictures I got um, it's like 120% of my camera roll. Senior care is something I've had to go through personally we lost our Ridgeback (Jack) in 2021. It was months of dressing/cleaning wounds, accidents, pills, special food prep, lifting up and down before we had to make the call no Dog Parent wants to make. I understand how important that extra care is regarding your babies. We as humans have to be their advocates. Two of my dogs are what are considered "fighting breeds" although mine are HUUUUUUGE babies who CANNOT sleep without blankets and Squishmallows, I understand they were GMO'ed for POWER and DAMAGE. Learning how to prevent and break up dog fights safety is something I've made a goal to learn. Just in case. Your dogs are high energy, good. I need to get my steps in. The best cardio workout buddy is one with four legs and the zoomies. For a better grip on walks I use a duo leash with a "water ski style" handle. I like to use a leash with the two points of attachment. Nobody is slipping out of their collar or harness on my watch.

Safety, trust & environment

I also am a Rover user and have met some amazing sitters using this app. I hold the same standard and care I would expect from the sitters that I hire. Pet Parent to Pet Parent. I love learning new things and that includes everything there is to know about your lil' guy or gal. I am very good at communicating when I have questions.

House Sitting • may. 17, 2026

Lara is so good to our Tora every time she house sits with her when we are gone. Very reliable and incredibly generous with her time she spends with Tora playing and giving her rubs and love. Lara is a very great sitter and we will hire her every-time we need a sitter.

Lara was so great with my senior dog. I love that she got her outside in the sunshine when she was able. No issues with a specific medication schedule. The visit recap notes with photos/video really eased my anxiety. I can tell Lara loves animals and it made me feel so much better to have her taking care of my dog. I have already shared her profile and recommended to others.

Could not recommend Lara more! She’s amazing and super responsive to messages! So kind and good to my pups! She’s fantastic! I’m a travel nurse, and if I’m ever in Wausau again, I would absolutely, 100% book her again! She sends the best photos of my pups! They love her! She’s the best!

We had such a great experience with our Lara! Lara is reliable, kind, and truly cared for our cats as if it were their own. We got daily updates and photos, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and a tidy home. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I have a very flexible schedule and like many millenials before me I am always looking for something productive I can do with my free time. Getting to hangout with cool animals and getting paid for it. Can the math get any easier.
