Pet care experience

Loving, fun, 10+ years experience

Always an animal lover, I have dedicated the last 10 years of my professional life to caring for pets (including some chickens, some horses, birds, etc)! I became a certified pet dog trainer through the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers in 2012, owned and operated two dog sitting businesses, managed a city animal shelter, founded and ran a dog rescue as well as volunteering with dog rescue over the last 10 years. I am Pet CPR Certified and stay up-to-date with dog training and behavior (positive reinforcement). With all my experience I am able to cater your pets stay with me so he/she is comfortable, happy and part of our family while you are gone. Your pup will enjoy his/her days and nights with lots of love and I look forward to becoming a special part of you and your pups life!

They are always very responsive and keep me updated on how Rocky is doing while in their care. He always has such a fun time when he stays with them.

Lara was very communicative through out the stay with updates and pictures! Dropoff and pickup was very easy. I can tell Rocky was very well taken care of and enjoyed his stay!

We want to thank Lara and family for watching our Mustang during the Christmas week. 🎄 Lara was awesome sending us pictures throughout the whole time. Which is comforting when we're away from our Mustang. Lara was a trooper she also ended up getting sick during this stay. We truly appreciate Lara and family. We would certainly recommend them to watch your fur baby.
