Pet care experience

Always an animal lover 🐶❤️😻

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!

Lara was so great to work with! She took care of our Winnie like she was part of their family and kept us updated with lots of pictures throughout her stay. We will definitely book with her again!

I’d love to walk your dogs and/or play with them in your backyard and hang out with them while you’re away. I also would love to give your kitties lots of attention.

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.

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..
