About Lara

I will provide your pets with all of the love and care they need and am a particular cuddly person!
I can get into a routine easily and will care for your pet/s as if it/they were my own. I have grown up around many animals throughout my life including rabbits, cows, sheep, chickens, cats, and a range of dog breeds (including but not limited to Mastiff X's, Labrador X's, German Shepherds, Kelpie X's, Blue/Red heelers, Chihuahua X's, King Charles Cavaliers, Rottweiler X's, Bull Arabs and Neopolitan Mastiffs).

I grew up on the outskirts of a small country town in Victoria and that's where my love for animals developed when I was living on a farm.
When you adopt me as your pet sitter I promise that I will care for your pet/s to the best of my abilities and ensure that your mind is always at ease 🌻💫

~PLEASE READ THE BELOW INFORMATION BEFORE BOOKING ☺️🌻~

IMPORTANT NOTICE: As of March 2022 I am only taking local bookings within the Bendigo region due to influx of local bookings and change of circumstances that limit travel

--PRICING AND SERVICE CHANGE NOTICE:-- Due to the increases in cost of living and expenses, I have had to reevaluate my pet service pricing and discounts. As of July 1st 2023 there will be the following changes:

House visit: $30
Part Daycare: $40
Daycare: $65

🐾 If you require daycare for longer than a 30-minute visit but under 4 hours, I am happy to organise a suitable half-day/part-day daycare rate :)

🐾 Peak pricing entails a $10 increase on applicable days, except for December 24th through to January 3rd that entails a $20 increase

🐾 I don't work on Mondays, but if a booking is absolutely necessary on a Monday all services will be charged at peak pricing rates

🐾 I cannot provide services outside of a 20km radius

🐾 Despite the Madpaws system displaying prices as per day, you will be charged per service - for example, if you require multiple house visits per day, you will be charged the price of a house visit multiplied by the number of visits you require

🐾 Specific arrival and departure times need to be set prior to booking confirmation

🐾 Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions at all :)
