Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Lark and I’ve lived with a menagerie of loved and well-cared-for pets my whole life! I'm a former English teacher and current full-time parent. I've volunteered in dog shelters in Kansas City, Saint Louis, Sarajevo, and Tripoli. Along the way I’ve built up experience administering first aid and medication and worked with quite a few dogs with strong personalities and special needs. I have 5 years’ experience fostering and 11 years’ experience dog sitting. I now share a spacious home and garden with my dog-savvy kiddo, Zala, an extraordinary dog named Lily. I love hanging out with all kinds of dogs and understand each pet has unique qualities. I will make sure your best friend is comfortable and gets lots of cuddles. You’ll have total peace of mind trusting me with your canine friend: I’m communicative and will provide timely updates about your pet! I am currently a stay at home parent with a light online teaching and editing schedule. I'm fortunate to have open availability and am flexible for all services. It is, of course, nice when you get the opportunity to build rapport with a dog :) Our home is centrally located in Rolling Hills. We're about a mile away from Gulley Park and walk to the playground daily. Our home and secluded fenced-in yard are both spacious. I have worked remotely since my daughter was born and have been grateful to have had a stay at home parent experience. My desk is situated near the door to my fenced-in back yard so I am basically a dog doorman all day. I walk my kiddo to school and generally take the pups I am watching along with me. The dogs we watch add value to our household and we love the company. I have a large fenced-in yard and I have situated my "day job" desk so I can still keep an eye on puppers when they're outside. I watch a few dogs who like to eat grass so much you'd think they were goats and, well, I veto that. My house is dog-proofed to the extreme I once child-proofed it. Unless your friend chews baseboards or window treatments they'll be hard pressed to find opportunities for mischief.
Reviews
She was very great with my dog! Daily updates and photos throughout my whole trip. Also super friendly and an overall wonderful sitter!
Lark was great with my pups! She was very accommodating and helped me out when one of them wasn't feeling well during their stay. She sent lots of pictures and made my pups feel at home.
Lark was so amazing at keeping us updated while being away from our fur baby!! It is so hard to leave your furry loves behind, but I 100% trusted Lark and I know she treated my baby well! We will definetly be using her again in the future.
My dog sitter cancelled about 24 hours before my dog’s appointment with her, so after connecting with Lark, she quickly agreed to take in our little guy for the day. She was very responsive and sent pictures, videos & text updates throughout the day. Our dog had a blast getting to play with her dogs, which showed by the fact that he slept for hours after we picked him up. Great experience; much appreciated!

I do ask for vet records. Please make sure your pet is up to date with immunizations and flea and tick meds. We have a spacious fenced-in yard, and I also keep an eye on dogs to make sure they are not escape artists.

Please don’t hesitate to let me know if your pet has any special needs. I’m happy to accommodate special care requests. If it’s your pet’s first time away from home, please pack a comfort item like a favourite toy or an unwashed t-shirt or blanket that smells like home. Pets must be current on all vaccinations. Please let me know if your pet has any dietary restrictions or allergies.
A typical day
My home has a big yard and lots of dog toys. We play fetch and take walks to the park daily, weather permitting. My daughter is dog savvy and I work remotely. We both love dog company!

Availability
I work remotely and am almost always home, except when shuttling my kiddo to and from activities. I do instill work ethic in my kiddo. I pay her a few dollars a day to brush doggos. She is everyone’s favorite per brushes and her willingness to dispense treats.
