Pet care experience

PAWesome, Flexible & Professional!

Having grown up with animals, my love of animals & experience caring for them started at a young age. I'm passionate about animal rescue & volunteering with local rescues provided me with exposure to a variety of breeds & temperaments. While volunteering I also fell in love with my own fur baby, Gator, a corgi/Pekingese mix who has her share of issues, but she's my everything! I've always had cats and my brother's two cats have been living with me for the past couple of years while he travels. I understand the importance of trustworthy, professional care for our fur babies & you can expect that I will provide the best care for your best bud!

Lara has been checking in on my cat, Val, over the past 8 months whenever I have been on travel. During this time, I have had no fears that my cat would not be cared for with love and respect. Lara is communicative, reliable, and extremely accommodating when things don't go according to plan. I highly recommend Lara to all pet parents!

Schedule

While I have a full-time job, I'm lucky to have flexible hours and I only go to the office twice per week, so I can fit in pet visits as needed.

Cats
Lara can host up to 1 drop-in per day
Please share if your cat has specific behaviors, hiding places, or "quirks" that I can account for. Do they like treats? Do they bite if touched in certain a spot? Are they an escape artist? These are all helpful details that ensure I can cater to your cat's needs!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
