Local pet-loving young professional

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Lark and I am a Boston area young professional. I have done several walks and drop-in visits for Rover, and I have a miniature poodle named Louie (pictured in my cover photo) who is 9 and who I walk around my neighborhood regularly as well. I also have a brother with a dog named Stanley. Because I love animals and getting fresh air so much, being a Rover sitter and walker would be the perfect way to meet more dogs and people, to make some extra money on the side, and to get to know the neighborhood some more! I am a very responsible and reliable person, and would love to help you out with your pet! I hope that you consider me to provide pet sitting services to you, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Second time having Lark catsit for us and she’s great! Our cat is really shy and she is excellent at coaxing her out and getting her to play. Highly recommend!

Lark took great care of our cat. We loved the detailed notes and observations .. It brought me great peace of mind

Lark was phenomenal- 1. Super good care of our cat, including attention and play time alongside food/water/litter/etc (I think she did a better job sweeping than I do!) 2. Excellent communication-consistent updates on when she would be coming to the apt, great follow up descriptions of each visit, and amaaaazing photos; we got some new cell phone wallpapers out of them! 3. Above and beyond in the details-really thoughtful about taking in our packages, dealing with an obnoxious beep from our low battery fire alarm etc. Lark will absolutely be on the top of our list for when we need a cat sitter again.

Great job on the walk! Appreciated the photos and report after the walk. Would book again for a fun walk for my dog.

Safety, trust & environment

Communication is key for me! So before and while taking on a client's pet I will ask lots of questions to ensure I will provide the best and safest services possible to you and your pet :)

Information Lark P. would like to know about your pet

Some things I would like to know include if the dog is house trained, as well as about any aggressive or difficult-to-manage behavior (such as constant, strong leash pulling). I also would want to know of your dog's stressors that could trigger nervous, aggressive, or unpredictable behaviors (for example, other dogs or some action that I may do). I may be willing to work with more nervous small dogs since my dog is small and can be this way as well. I also want to know what your dog likes (for example, what’s their favorite park or even their favorite place to be scratched)! Finally, I would love to know any additional preferences or notes you may have that would be applicable to my time with your pet- again, my goal is to provide a five-star service to you and your pet!

A typical day

I live in Somerville and love going along the river/esplanade for walks, runs, bikes, or outings with friends. Wherever there are scenic routes, cool houses, or interesting people is likely where I would take your pet!
