Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pup’s home away from home 🥰
I have professional pet care experience starting back in 2010. I've worked in Boarding facilities, Pet grooming salons, Doggie daycares and as an independent pet sitter. I am trained in dog behavior as well as pet CPR and first aid From June 2016 to September 2021 I was managing a pet resort in the Lakewood ranch area. I left the corporate pet care industry and now offer pet care services from my home and property full time. This gives me the availability to provide the absolute best care and service to you and your pet. With my years of experience I have handled every possible breed, temperament, diet, special need, health issue, emergency etc. This gives me the exact knowledge I need to care for pets from my home safely and ensure the comfort and overall needs of each individual pet are met.

Did amazing with my puppy!
Arya always has great time! She came home happy and tired, and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was in good hands
Sully had a great time staying with Lara! She was very communicative and accommodating to Sully’s needs and my preferences as a pet parent. Will certainly book again!
Lara took very good care of our doodles while we were away. She sent daily updates with pictures. Maude and Murphy looked like they enjoyed their stay, playing with other pups and barking at the ponies. We appreciate Lara taking good care of Maude and Murphy for us. We felt that they were in good hands while they were with her, which really put our minds at ease while we were out of town. Lara will definitely be our sitter for any future travels. Thank you Lara.
Our doodles, Maude and Murphy, seemed happy and relaxed when we picked them up from their overnight stay. Lara sent me pictures and updates. We are grateful to have found a safe and friendly home where they can stay while we are out of town. Thank you, Lara.
Lara was fantastic with Roux. She communicated with us every day, sent plenty of pictures, and completely put our minds at ease. This was our first time boarding Roux since we adopted her, and Lara made the whole experience beyond outstanding. She was attentive, loving, and truly professional. She's an excellent sitter, and I highly recommend her. Five stars doesn't even do her justice!

Schedule
Drop off and pick up times 9am-6pm. I am home full time to provide constant care to the animal guests of our Bed & Biscuit. Pets can be given potty breaks and exercise as frequently as they need. We can feed meals and administer medications up to 3x a day and can allow dogs to graze in a private room if they need. We also can feed family dogs separate if resource aggression is an issue.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our property is 4.3 acres with approximately 3 acres fully fenced and split into 3 separate areas. We have the ability to offer individual or group play time for social guests within the same weight range. Your pet can be leash walked or given free run of one of our secure fenced areas. If you prefer, your pet can be crated at night, otherwise they may sleep where they are comfortable. We recommend you bring your pets bed from home to help provide something familiar for their stay. We have a young daughter that can be messy during meal times. Please let us know if your dog is or is not able to have table scraps. We treat all pups as a member of the family.
Pets
A typical day
We have plenty of space for your pup to roam and run that is safe and completely fenced in as well as nearby trails in the little manatee River park. For indoor stimulation, I can also offer a variety of treat/puzzle enrichments. Many guests enjoy lounging with the family and relaxing.
