Ultimate dog lover and caretaker!
Pet care experience
Dogs have been the greatest part of my life since I adopted my first dog... From training puppies age 3months and up, to running hyperactive dogs, I have a wide and broad field of expertise. As long as you are happy, and your dog is having a blast, I feel as though I am doing my job! Not only do I have my own dog, a stunning 40lb german shorthair pointer mix, but I have cared for many different breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs throughout the years. I also volunteered at the Friendship Animal Hospital as a vet tech, so I am able to administer both oral and injected medications.
Reviews

Safety, trust & environment
I offer a respectful and calm presence in your home. I live in a townhome but would prefer if I cared for your dog in your home instead, to keep them calm in a familiar place. For walks you can ask me to run, walk, or keep a smooth stroll for the elderly pups.
Information Lara S. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if your dog has any of the following traits: people aggressive, dog aggressive, food insecurity/aggression, home aggression, any physical condition, any mental/anxiety conditions, and if they have any allergies. Good news though! Just because your dog has one or multiple of these traits doesn’t make them a bad dog or hard to handle. It just means I go into the meet and great with knowledge that I will need if you do end up booking me.
A typical day
I enjoy playing with dogs who are not dog friendly on their own. If a dog is dog friendly I enjoy introducing them to my very well mannered pup, Kali. If the dog is super energetic, I love to take them on a variety of hikes!

I am a ballet teacher part time and still attend college at UMD part time. So I will keep my availability updated regularly on my page. The hours I am certain I cannot work will range slightly from week to week in the summer. In the fall I will update my calendar.
