Cat lover hoping to help you!

Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner my entire life. I've jokingly called myself a "cat whisperer" and pride myself in connecting with kitties of all ages. I will care for your furry friend like it is my own. I prefer to care for cats and small dogs as I'm admittingly intimidated by large dogs.

I would definitely use Lara again to take care of my kitties. My cats loosened up quite quickly with Lara. She took great care of them

Lara was very friendly and communicated well. I felt like the cats were in good hands. Would book again if needed.

Purrs for Lara.

I asked Lara to take care of our cat months in advance, and she was responsive right away and kept the appointment. She took great care of a cat who wanted nothing to do with anyone but our son. When we had other pet sitters take care of her, she was despondent when we came home. Lara not only fed and took care of our kitties' litter, but she also tried to connect to our kitty. This kept our kitty happy, and she was not hiding from us when we came home, which was a sign that she was well taken care of. I highly recommend Lara as the best pet sitter we ever had!

I prefer to take care of your pet in your home, and would diligently spend time and give care to your pet like it was my own.

Information Lara S. would like to know about your pet

I believe that it's important to understand any special needs of a pet (does it require medication), does it have an aversion to children or others animals, are there special toys or routines that would make the pet more content in my care? That is where communication with the owner is critical and sets everyone up for success!

A typical day

While watching kitties, to keep them active and engaged I would play with cat toys - some that are usually a hit are as simple as string on a stick and laser pointers. I'm also happy to sit and snuggle with your kitty, if they are in need to closeness in your absence. While watching your pup - I would go for walks around the neighborhood, along the tow path, or to a local dog park - if the dog's personality was conducive to socializing with other pets (and with the owner's permission!)

I am currently home full time with my 2 year old son, so I have a very flexible schedule to help care for your pet. He may need to come with me during care hours, so if your pet is very timid or not good around small children we probably aren't a good fit. Sorry.
