5-star pet sitter, WFH full-time

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Lara. Thanks for stopping by my page! Your beloved pet is in the purrfect care under my guidance, as I’m a certified volunteer at the Williamson County Animal Shelter, familiar handling all ranges of ages, sick and well dogs and cats, etc. Due to my devotion to animals, I started a “Pet Pals” organization at my high school to encourage students to participate in community service at our local animal shelter. Shortly after the club was created, the animal shelter was flooded with volunteers and is now a no-kill shelter! I absolutely adore animals (all shapes and sizes) and very adaptable in my pet sitting skills. Whether that’d be kennel training, positive reinforcement, etc. Whatever your needs are, I’ll gladly help! I’ll allow animals up on my furniture (if that’s the same treatment they have at their homes). I want to uphold the same rules as you, the owner. Book me the next time you need an extra hand!

Lara did a great job taking care of my pup, Maya, for a week while I was on vacation! She sent me plenty of pictures and videos to keep me up to date and it was clear Maya was feeling right at home with her. Lara was sure to clarify medication, feeding, and daily routines before I left which gave me extra peace of mind everything would go smoothly. We will definitely be booking other stays with Lara in the future.

Lara was everything you can ask for in a sitter! She sent tons of photos and videos of the dogs while we were away, and it was super easy working with her. We will absolutely work with Lara again!
