Information Lara R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dogs have any special needs. I am familiar with senior dogs and some of their restrictions. I am ok walking bigger dogs as long as they don’t pull on their leashes. I’ve recently added boarding to the services I provide. The dogs would need to be hypoallergenic as I have two kids with pet allergies as well as able to get along with my two easygoing senior dogs. I’ve boarded a few dogs over the last year and it’s gone really well. I do have a fenced in backyard and can provide plenty of playtime throwing a ball, going for long walks, etc..

A typical day

I love to go on long (or short depending on your preference) walks with your pups and/or play fetch with them in your backyard. And of course I’ll give them lots of love while you’re away.

Always an animal lover 🐶❤️😻

Pet care experience

I’ve always had dogs and cats since I was a kiddo. Currently we have two spoiled dogs and two sweet cats. I take my two dogs on a mile or two walk every day. I started my own pet sitting business in my 20’s after working for a small pet company. I also was working FT with adults with disabilities. I have cared for a wide variety of animals even giving a diabetic cat shots and caring for a blind and a deaf dog. I’ve also had the opportunity to take care of rabbits, birds and even a very social ferret. Once I became busy raising my own family, I stopped working FT but continued watching friends’ and neighbors’ animals on the side. I’m the type of person who stops to pet other people’s dogs when I’m out on a walk. ❤️ My husband and I have 5 kids, two of which live at home. I’m also a grandma with a second baby otw! As a family we’ve always had cats and dogs as well as guinea pigs, gerbils, turtle and a lizard.

Lara took amazing care of our dogs, both take medications. She gave great communication, asked for clarification when needed, and kept everything tidy. I recommend her highly!

Lara was excellent caring for my cat, Pepper. She spent time with her, cleaned her litter and made she she had food and water. Lara was very reliable which is so important! I will use her again!
