Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, loving fur momma
My passion for animal welfare drives me to provide attentive, reliable care for your companions. With 25 years of experience, I prioritize your dogs comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. I maintain a safe, stimulating environment through consistent routines and strict adherence to specific dietary needs. Whether managing high-energy breeds with active play or vigilantly monitoring for health changes, I ensure your pet feels secure in their own home. I hold certifications in Pet CPR and Pet First Aid, and I always keep emergency contacts accessible to ensure prompt communication. I truly enjoy witnessing the unique quirks of every animal I meet. My goal is to offer you complete peace of mind while I provide your pet with the kindness and responsible attention they deserve. I look forward to building a loving, trusting bond with your furry family member.

Ratings and reviews
Lara so amazing. Kept me up to date on my baby while I was away with pictures. Will be using her again!! Thanks so much!!!
My dogs felt right at home!
Lara and her family were amazing, Maddy was so well taken care of and we plan to use her again!
We were traveling to St. Louis and Lara came through for us after another sitter canceled last minute. She was extremely flexible and accommodating and watched our dog two days while we went sightseeing. She is a great communicator and provided updates and pictures. Our dog Kali was well taken care of and very happy.
Lara was so awesome! She sent many pictures and updates on how our dog Zoey was doing and she looked like she was having a blast. Lara went above and beyond. Definitely recommend!
Lara took great care of Margot for us!! She made sure to send lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Margot came home happy and tired which we love! Thank you Lara, I’m sure we will be back!

Schedule
My husband and I are home four days a week and able to provide endless entertainment, exercise, and comfort to your fur baby. Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level and routine. We make safety, exercise, and positive interaction a priority.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a big fenced in back yard and a kind, loving, mini Aussie who is eight years old. I understand how important consistency is, so we pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well.

A typical day
A typical day with me is filled with plenty of love, attention, and care! I like to make sure every pet feels comfortable and gets the attention they need throughout the day. Depending on your pet’s routine, we’ll enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and plenty of downtime. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, medications, and any special routines or instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for while you’re away! Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to tailor the day to their personality, energy level, and individual needs.

- Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know about their personality, daily routine, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and happy. Please let me know about feeding and potty schedules, exercise needs, medications, allergies, fears or triggers, and how they do around other people or animals. I’m also happy to accommodate any special instructions or routines. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make their stay or visit feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible!
