Information Lara K. would like to know about your pet

I like to know all the quirks of your fur babies so I can be as prepared as possible. Anything like allergies, escape artists, interaction preferences, and anything else that will ensure the best visit.

A typical day

Dogs thrive on activity so we will go for engaging walks which they can sniff and smell all that your neighborhood has to offer and get their exercise. For cats, I will work with them to find the playtime they enjoy the most or simply giving them love if that’s what they prefer at the time.

Will Care For Your Pet Like My Own

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets since I was a kid and now have an adorable goldendoodle. Neighbors have relied on me to care for their fur babies because they know I won’t miss a single detail. As a science and operations management professional in my day job, I’ve managed everything from a 20,000 sq ft laboratory and Environmental Health & Safety for entire sites. You can rely on me to ensure your fury family member is safe, happy, and well cared for in your absence.

Lara was great with Cappy, very attentive. She kept me updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages. Cappy throughly loved his time with her so much so that when we go for our walks now he wants to lead the way to her place. I highly recommend Lara and would use her anytime I would need a pet sitter.

She was amazing with the cats and even suggested a helpful solution for a my cats vomiting issue which is working wonders! She was also able to respond within minutes when I needed her help. Absolutely recommend

Lara responded quickly to a last minute change of plans. She was friendly, responsive, and sent photos and videos during my dog’s stay. I will be using Lara again when I’m in San Diego and need a sitter. Thank you, Lara!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
