Highlights
Pet care experience
5 Acres,Grass Yard & Full Time Care
I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have experience raising puppies as well as caring for senior pets. I’m comfortable providing medications and following individual care routines to help pets stay happy, healthy, and comfortable. I provide loving, attentive, full-time care in a peaceful country setting with 5 acres and a large grassy yard. Pets receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel at home. I treat every dog like family and make their safety, happiness, and individual needs my top priority.

Ratings and reviews
Lara is AMAZING! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Boone! From the very beginning, Lara made me feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. She was so sweet, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it was obvious that Boone was having the BEST time with her. The pictures she sent of them playing together were everything! It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was and how much attention and love she was giving him. She didn’t make it feel like Boone was simply being boarded—she made sure he was having fun, getting plenty of attention, and feeling right at home. Lara is incredibly trustworthy, communicative, and clearly has such a natural way with dogs. You can tell that she truly enjoys spending time with them, and that makes such a difference when you’re trusting someone with your fur baby. I would recommend Lara to anyone without hesitation! She went above and beyond for Boone, and I feel so lucky that we found her. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

Lara is the kind of dog sitter you hope to find but rarely do. ❤️🐾 I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about the care Lara gave my French bulldog, Chloe. I am very selective about who I trust with Chloe, and leaving her with someone is something I normally worry about. But from the moment I met Lara, I had such a good feeling about her—and she completely exceeded my expectations. Lara didn’t just “watch” Chloe; she truly cared for her. She was loving, attentive, patient, and so thoughtful about making sure Chloe was happy and comfortable. I could tell from the updates and pictures that Chloe was not only being well cared for, but was genuinely enjoying her time with Lara. That peace of mind is something you simply can’t put a price on. There are very few people I would trust enough to leave Chloe with without worrying, and Lara has absolutely earned that trust. I came home knowing Chloe had been treated with the same love and care I would give her myself, and that means everything to me. If you are lucky enough to find availability with Lara, BOOK HER! I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants someone dependable, trustworthy, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with their dog. We will absolutely be coming back, and I feel so grateful that we found her. Chloe is already looking forward to her next stay! ❤️🐶

Lara took such great care of Gus! He can be anxious and shy, but she was calm, patient, and gentle with him, which made all the difference. He came home relaxed and happily tired after playing with Wally. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend Lara. We’ll absolutely be using her again!
Lara took such wonderful care of our old girl, Dixie! She was incredibly attentive, patient, and loving with her, and made Dixie feel right at home. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was comfortable, happy, and being so well cared for while we were away. We’re so thankful for Lara and would absolutely trust her with Dixie again!

Lara was absolutely wonderful with my dog! From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and loving hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout the night. It was clear that she treated my dog like her own, and that means so much to me. Coming home knowing my dog had been happy, relaxed, and so well looked after was the best feeling. I’m incredibly grateful to Lara and would trust her with my dog again in a heartbeat. I truly couldn’t recommend her enough!

Lara did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was out of town! She was incredibly caring, attentive, and made sure she was happy and well taken care of. Her communication was excellent, and I always felt reassured knowing she was in such good hands. I really appreciated the updates and her genuine care for my dog. I would absolutely recommend Lara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule, so your pet gets plenty of attention throughout the day. We enjoy lots of supervised outdoor time in our large grassy yard, with regular potty breaks, scheduled feedings, medication as needed, play sessions, and plenty of love. I’m able to keep a close eye on pets and maintain their normal routine while they’re in my care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I work from home, allowing me to provide constant supervision and maintain a consistent routine for meals, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and rest. Pets enjoy a calm, secure home with plenty of supervised outdoor time in our large grassy yard. We also have a friendly 4-year-old miniature Dachshund who loves to play and make new friends.
