About Lara

Hi, my name is Lara Powell. I’m 19 years old, kind, caring, and an absolute animal lover. I would love the opportunity to look after your home and pets while you’re away.

I’ve grown up around animals and have hands-on experience caring for a range of pets. Over the years, I’ve had four cats and two guinea pigs. Currently, I have two cats a sweet 7-year-old rescue we adopted about a year ago, and a very playful 2-year-old who keeps things lively.

I also have extensive experience with dogs, including my own golden retriever, Luna, who is four years old. She’s full of energy and loves daily walks at the park and weekend trips to the beach to play ball. Caring for her has taught me the importance of routine, exercise, and lots of love.

For the past four years, I’ve also walked dogs for friends and neighbours. In my final year of high school, I regularly walked a five-year-old Staffy twice a week. This has given me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m confident handling dogs with care and responsibility.

I’m reliable, tidy, and very respectful of other people’s homes. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets and property, and I take that responsibility seriously. While you’re away, I’ll make sure your home is kept clean, safe, and well looked after whether that’s feeding pets, watering plants, tidying up, or ensuring everything is secure.

In addition to house sitting, I also offer dog walking as a separate service. If you’re simply looking for someone reliable to walk your dog during the day, I’d be more than happy to help.

I’m also happy to send daily updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.

Thank you so much for considering me I’d love the chance to help keep your pets happy and your home safe while you’re away.

– Lara
