Professional Dog Lover

Pet care experience

You will love how I take care of your babies. I know they are your family, and I will try to give them the same amount of love you do on a daily basis. Being apart from our babies can sometimes cause us to feel some anxiety, but I will relieve that on both sides and make sure they feel at home, comfortable and happy while you are away. I've had dogs my whole life, and I would love to hang out with your dogs and have some fun as I have a very flexible-work from home set up. I'm very active and love to go for walks, spend time at the park, and playing the way you play with your pup (with lots of cuddles and maybe some treats too). :) I love all breeds and am very experienced from small to very large. Please reach out for any service requests or even just questions. I'm here to help! I have even more testimonials/reviews if you are looking for something specific, please let me know. Happy to provide recommendations for all my services.

Pepper loves Lara and we love the attention Lara gives her. Lara keeps me updated and sends me pictures of Pep throughout the days. My pup has a lot of energy and Lara knows how to keep her entertain. Totally love her and will be using her again.

Lara was incredibly loving and caring with my puppy, Oliver. He was immediately comfortable with her and, in fact, was in no rush to go home at the end of the day. That tells me a lot about how good the care that Lara provided was. Would highly recommend her.

I'm writing this testimonial for Lara, I first used Lara earlier this year when I went out of the country for a week and she stayed at my home and took great care of my pup Stella and of my home. Lara is a great communicator, always send updates, pictures or mad me aware if something out of the ordinary was going on, it doesn't get any better than that and it's a great piece of mind knowing that Stella is being loved and well taken care of. She is now the only person outside of my family that i fully trust with Stella and I know that Stella loves her as well, she's now become a true friend and I can not recommend her enough if you need help with your pup, she knows what she's doing and does it better than anyone I've ever had. Go ahead and book her, you won't be disappointed but not too often because selfishly I want to keep her to myself for Stella as much as possible. :-) Rating: 11/10, it's like 10 but 1 higher.

Lara took care of my Shiba Inu while I was out of town and she did such a fabulous job! My pup immediately relaxed into Lara’s sweet demeanor and calm energy. She seemed very comfortable hanging out in her home and in her huge backyard. Lara went above and beyond by sending updates and pictures throughout the day of them playing and cuddling. She has lots of toys and doggy goodies to make any dog feel right at home! I highly recommend Lara for dog care and I trust her 100%!

Information Lara S. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to understand the habits and personality of your pup so I can adjust and accommodate based on their favorite activities and energy level. I love to meet and learn about all the breeds. I have experience with young pups to elderly dogs, and everywhere in between. I can meet any special requirements - I've been doing this for a long time...

A typical day

I’m in the Heights and all the walking trails of The White Oak Bayou. I love heading to the Dog Parks in the area or even staying in the oasis of my backyard and playing if that’s preferred. I put soothing music on during the day while the dogs are hanging with me, it definitely helps them feel cozy and at home!
