The neighborhood pet sitter!
Pet care experience
I never really had to market my pet sitting services, word just got around town! Before I knew it I was taking care of friends’, family’s, and even strangers’ pets (cats and dogs). I loved keeping their furry friends happy and not missing their family too much!
Reviews
We left our sweet pup Olive with Lara for a month while we traveled and I wouldn’t trust anyone else for the job! Olive absolutely loves her, she didn’t even seem to care that we were gone. Lara is so loving, I always know our sweet doggy is in great hands. She treats any fury friend like her own. She even got Olive a special toy that she still takes with her everywhere. Lara sent me pictures and videos the whole time and I felt comfortable knowing Olive was in a safe and fun place!
I have known Lara for approximately 18 years. She is a warm, caring, intelligent, thoughtful, responsible young lady and college student with many goals and aspirations. She has, on numerous occasions, taken care of my house as well as our two dogs and one bird. I would not hesitate to recommend her for a pet care/house care position; and, anyone hiring her would be lucky to have her working for them.
About Lara V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When doing drop-ins or walks, I want to be very respectful of your space and your wishes! Making sure you are comfortable and happy is just as important to me as your animals having a fun time!
Information Lara V. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog needs any extra help getting acclimated to a new environment! I’d also love to know their usual eat, sleep, bathroom, and walking schedule so that I can make them feel at home.
A typical day
I love to go on long walks with doggies, going where ever their nose takes us! I also love to play fetch or tug-of-war in my courtyard or at the nearest dog park :)

Availability
I’m currently a college student at SBCC, looking to continue my pet services! I’d love to be able to hang out with your pets and enjoy some beautiful fresh air and sun with them! I don’t have any other pets so yours would be my priority. While I do have school 4 days a week, I’m always available in the afternoon to do drop-ins or walks.
