Pet care experience

Looking after your furry friends!

I have had and looked after many animals (mainly rescues) since I could walk. I have extensive experience with dogs and have grown up around cats. I have been pet sitting in Melbourne Australia for the last 3 years and love working with my clients regularly to help their dogs feel settled while they are away. I have worked with all sorts of dogs from chilled out sleepy pooches to angsty or nervous pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t offer dog sitting in my own home as I have a rescue dog who is not great with new dogs. However in your home I promise to leave it clean and tidy and make sure your pet gets all the attention and walks or pets they need!

House Sitting • Apr 10, 2026

Lara was fantastic housesitting looking after our pets, they all had a great time with her! I feel like they hardly noticed we left 😂 she texted us photos of them while we were away which was lovely and appreciated. The house was nice and clean when we came back as well. Will definitely book her again!

Lara was terrific. She got along with our dog instantly. She asked good questions about exercise, routine, food… We felt very comfortable having her stay in the house and we retuned to clean home with a happy dog. We will definitely book her again.

I am currently work part time with some study online, which can be done from home. My shifts are normally only a maximum of 5 hours as I work as a personal trainer, so your pet wouldn’t be on its own for long!

More than happy to care for pets with special needs, I have experience with giving pets medical care (oral tablets and ointments). And I also work well the pets of various temperaments (having grown up with rescues and fosters I have great experience with navigating shy or aggressive pets!
