Pet care experience
Hello! I'm a freelancer who has loved dogs and animals all my life and grown up with a house full of pets and looking after neighbor's pets, and been sitting on Rover for many years! I'm very flexible with schedules and have a lot of time to spend with doggy guests to make sure they are comfortable and pampered. We love to go for walks in the quiet neighborhoods around the house and lots of play and snuggles! I have sat dogs for years am very comfortable with getting to know a new pooch, regardless of age and are able to administer any medications as needed! I live with my partner in a beautiful flat that is dog friendly and we both love animals. We love spending time with dogs!
Reviews
Our family is incredibly grateful for how amazing Lara and her partner are! This was the first time our beloved Violet had been away from us, and she could not have been in more caring, attentive hands. Our dog can be initially skittish around new people, but warmed to Lara, who is clearly very experienced with dogs, so quickly. We also really appreciated the photos and videos- Violet had a wonderful week, and we hope Lara and her partner are available the next time we have to leave town and can't take our doggie with us.
Lara was amazing! She sent lots of great photos and videos and it was clear that she made our pup, Rufus, feel right at home. He really loved her and her partner and they are both caring and great with dogs. I would definitely recommend them and will definitely try to book with them again!
Our 5 month old puppy had a great day with Lara! It was his first time staying with someone and we couldn’t be happier. She sent me photos and videos all day and kept me updated. He came home exhausted which I know means he had a ton of fun.
Lara and Thomas were fantastic with my pup! They kept me updated with pictures that showed how genuinely happy and at ease he was with them. They created such a comfortable environment, making my dog feel right at home. Without a doubt, I'll be reaching out to them again!
