Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

If at your home, I’ll gladly respect whichever rules you have for where your pets or I should and shouldn’t go. At my place, the only pet I have is a leopard gecko who’s always in her (pet proofed) tank!

Information Lara M. would like to know about your pet

I have some experience with providing oral medication to dogs and cats and ear medication to dogs. Anything further than that, I can probably handle as long as I’m given good instructions.

A typical day

I’m up for whatever your pet needs. I’m happy to go on long walks, sit around on the couch, or play with their toys in the living room.

Dependable, cheerful animal lover!

Pet care experience

Growing up, I’ve helped take care of many different kinds of animals, from dogs to cats to reptiles! I have fostered a dog and I currently am the proud owner of a leopard gecko.
