Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety and trust in my pet care. In my home, I create a secure, clean environment filled with love and relaxation.

Information Lara S. would like to know about your pet

When it comes to caring for your pets, communication is key. To ensure I provide the best possible care, please let me know the following information ahead of time: Health and Medical Needs: Does your pet have any medical conditions or require medication? Are there any allergies I should be aware of? Dietary Requirements: What is your pet’s feeding schedule and portion size? Are there any specific dietary restrictions or favorite treats? Behavior and Temperament: How does your pet typically behave around strangers, other animals, and in new environments? Are there any known triggers or behaviors I should be aware of? Training and Commands: What commands or training has your pet received? Are there any specific routines or practices you follow? Exercise and Play: What are your pet’s exercise needs and favorite activities? Are there any restrictions on physical activity? Emergency Contact Information: Please provide a reliable contact number and your veterinarian’s contact details. Are there any specific instructions for emergencies? Living Environment: Does your pet have any special sleeping arrangements or comfort items? Are there any areas of your home that are off-limits? Other Pets: If you have multiple pets, how do they interact with each other? Are there any special instructions for managing their interactions?

Pet care experience

I’ve loved animals since I was a child. I was a devoted mom to a rescue bulldog who lived a long, happy life and have also fostered and trained a poodle mix. I have experience training a service dog and caring for elderly pets. I treat every animal as a cherished member of the family and am committed to providing them with the love and attention they deserve.

We have now used Lara 3 times. Our dog Carly is always happy to spend time with her and Lara gives great updates along the way!

I requested a sitter last minute and Lara was so great to accommodate me! My elderly cat was well-taken care of and my house was clean.
