Friend for Dog, Cat, Reptile Care

Pet care experience

There is no joy like being in the presence of animals! I have experience working as an animal resort attendant at a high-end animal hospital/resort, so I’m used to seeing dogs with special needs, unique diets, and the whole range of temperaments. Whether your dog prefers snoozing in my lap, or sprinting through the park, I’m excited to offer them my care. Having finished multiple long-distance thru-hikes, you might consider me a professional walker. Walks, hikes, and runs can be as lazy or active as your dog desires. I am not accepting overnight stays at my home currently, but I am happy to spend the night at your home with your pets. If staying at your place, I am a clean, organized person, and I love cooking, baking, and spending time at home, with walks as frequently as necessary for the pets. For cat owners, I have always had multiple cats of my own, and am familiar with their care. I love kitties and am happy to care for several at a time with no additional charge for extra cats.

THE BEST! When I made a request for an overnight stay, Lara promptly accepted my request with out any back and forth. She arrived the next morning to get details for Charlie, then took care of him! Charlie has terrible anxiety, She stayed home with him, snuggled by the fire and took care of him in the middle of the night when he was pacing and anxious. She sent photos and I felt very safe and relieved that she cared so much! This girl loves animals and I would highly recommend her!!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets and home can expect excellent care. I strive to leave a space better than a I found it, and to ensure maximum enrichment and exercise for all pets.

Information Lara B. would like to know about your pet

I accept all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, but please do let me know about any attitude issues, aversions to people or other animals, and the possibility of biting if, for example, I get too close to the dog’s face, touch their paws, etc. With my experience as an animal resort attendant, I am used to working with difficult dogs and I’m not afraid to give it a try with your pup if you’re having trouble finding someone compatible for walks and play.

A typical day

I wake up early, around 6am, and after a cup of coffee or tea, it’s time for the first walk of the day. I am happy to take pups on errands, if there are any to do, or hang around the house with books and cozy entertainment. A second walk happens near lunchtime, and an evening walk after dinner. For cats and dogs, I love to play with their toys or cuddle on the couch.
