About Lara

Hi! I'm Lara and I have lived with pets since I was born.

I come from Italy and there, I have lived with 6 rescued dogs and 5 cats that have always stayed with me.

Pet sitting is the job that I want to do in my life, I feel a strong push for the animals well being and it is my goal for life. I was born and there were already 3 cats in my house, and since that time, pets have always entered my house and my heart.

I have 3 years of experience all in Italy both with cats and dogs, but I can also take care of Aquariums with fish. 

Also, I have 2 years of volunteering as foster housing abandoned kittens, cooperating with the Italian rescued cats association. In those case, I had to feed them and cure them with medicaments and bring them periodically to veterinary visits.

I can: take dogs (and cats) out for walks, house sitting, visit to feed, play and look after them. 


Unfortunately, I cannot take pet in the house I live.

I have lived with animals since I was born. I have been working with the National Animal Protection Agency for 7 years now, fostering kittens rescued from the street , looking after them and preparing them for adoption and getting them used to contact with humans.
