I am a reliable and responsible person who loves animals. I grew up having pets at home (a hamster, a guinea pig, cats and dog), and I have more than 1 year of housesitting and petsitting experience (can provide reviews and references from previous pet owners). 😊
I like nature and walking, hiking and green areas, and I also have experience in training my dog and spending time with many other dogs. I am used to dealing with especially fearful or shy dogs, as I have patience and they soon trust me and approach me. I feel comfortable with any type of dog and I really enjoy training them and spending time with them.
DOG WALKS: I am used to being firm and strict with commands when needed but I always use techniques of positive reward with animals. I am used to walking long distances and a dog would be the perfect fellow to bring with me! I think being a pet sitter is the perfect opportunity to do a job and enjoy at the same time. I am available for casual dog walks or some walks every week (including weekends), since I work mostly from home. Usually, I walk dogs once a day, for 1 to 2 hours, but walking time can be discussed according to each dog needs. I can provide some training (ex. reinforcing commands or learning new commands).
PET SITTING AT THE OWNER'S PLACE OR DAY VISITS: Since I don't have a house available to bring the pets in, I offer pet sitting (night stay) at the owner's place or even one or two visits during the day. I have experience providing oral medication to dogs and cats so I'm happy to do this if needed. As I work from home most of the time I am able to spend time with your pets, so they wouldn't be left alone for long. As for day visits, I can come between 30 min to 1h depending on the needs required and price can be adjusted if you need me to stay longer.
I'm available all days, do not hesitate to contact me for further details!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Lara stepped in at the last minute and took great care of my cat as a house sitter. She was communicative and willing to put up with his demands for attention 24/7. Lara was willing to give Riley his meds and spend time at home with him as much as possible as he has difficulty being away from humans. I am going to book Lara again for my future trips without a doubt!
