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.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 06, 2026

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 amazing with my pup! I accidentally scheduled for the wrong dates and she adjusted her schedule to help me. She would send pictures daily and my pup always looked so happy! She made sure Ollie got a lot of time outdoor and was able to wear off her energy. I recommend Lara to anyone who is looking to book!! 🩷

Safety, trust & environment

I 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 I 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.
