Will Care For Your Pet Like My Own

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.

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!

Lara is the best! I’ve forgotten dog food twice now and she has been so kind to share hers with no hesitation! My dog absolutely loves her and LuLu <3

Schedule

When not traveling, I work remotely. This means I can spend ample time giving your fur baby the attention they need and deserve. Potty training a puppy and need walks every 2 hours? Does your senior need a little extra love and body rubs? Do you have a velcro baby that needs constant touch? I got you.

Safety, trust & environment

Taking care of your fur babies in your home ensures your pet remains calm in an environment they know while you are away. I will ensure they are as stress free as can be till you return to them.

Pets

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.
