Adamant Lover of All Creatures

Pet care experience

Fully Vaccinated / Masked Hi there! My name is Lara, and I am a lifetime animal lover and cat mom based in the Bevo Mill neighborhood of St Louis. I'm a full time work-from-home graphic designer, illustrator, and contracted artist. This means I get to make my own schedule and can always guarantee that I will be there for you and your pet! I'm a very proactive pet provider in that I always take the time to get to know an animal's personality and quirks before agreeing to take them on as a client. In my spare time I love to explore local parks for the best trails and spots and regularly volunteer at animal rescues around the city, as well as tending to my "indoor jungle" and snuggling with my kitty, Garbage!

Can’t say enough good things about Lara! She took wonderful care of my two dogs in my home, including giving pills to one who is reluctant to take them. She sent me multiple photos daily and wrote lengthy, detailed updates on how they were doing. Plus she organized my mail, put the trash out and left my house neat as a pin. She is wonderful — highly recommend.

Lara is genuinely and truthfully the best there ever was, I cannot emphasize this enough!!! My partner and I love our four cats more than life itself, and we’ve never felt more at ease than when Lara sits for us. We are so lucky to have found her, she is a DIAMOND! She genuinely LOVES our babies, and we feel it. Her updates are a beautifully written story of the day, no one tells updates that satisfy us like she does. And she’s so consistent, she sends it at around the same time of day so we never wonder if she’s going to update us or not, I don’t have to beg for an update and wait by the phone. She takes the best pictures out of any sitter we’ve ever had, by a landslide, and sends many! Our babies look beautiful, happy, and healthy, with gorgeous poses and sparkles in their eyes… not blurry and quick snaps of them walking away uninterested. We cherish her so much, I am almost hesitant to leave her a great review telling all of you to hire her, because that will leave her less available for us… but no, I can’t do her dirty like that, she is the best, the world needs to know! She’s so kind, thoughtful, caring, respectful, observant, professional, the list goes on….!!! She’s our absolute favorite ?!

Lara was fantastic. We had a major power outage and she was flexible and handled it like an absolute professional. Her updates are detailed, she’s always on time, and my dog loves her! Lara is the best!
