Pet care experience
Hi there! I am a very knowledgeable dog owner/caretaker and am constantly aware of a dog's body language and their level of comfort. I am experienced in bully breeds as well as puppy and senior dog care. My family dog is a very reactive Boston terrier and I am therefore capable of handling high stress situations around other dogs, people or children. I've owned senior dogs and am able to administer medications and assist in mobility. I believe in the test and reward approach to training/handling, where a dog is rewarded after successfully performing a task. I am against dominant training and will never use physical force to assist in training or punishment. Right now I live in a large apartment in the Hillsboro area and have a cat that is used to cohabitating with dogs. My family lives out of state with both of my dogs (a Boston and a Lab) and I would love the opportunity to be able to hang out and love on a dog again. Any dog under my care is always treated with as much love and respect that I would give my own.
Reviews
I have had Laura watch pets numerous times, and have had a positive experience every time. Laura is caring, thoughtful, and responsible with my pets. I used to have a diabetic dog that required a lot of care at the time. He would need his sugar tested and 2 insulin shots a day. Plus his food and drink needed to be monitored. All of this needed to be tracked daily in a journal for my vet's office. I was out of town for a long weekend and Laura did an outstanding job with this. He was happy and comfortable when I got home and that made me so happy! It's so important to know that your pets are in good hands and with Laura I know they are!
Laura is a true delight. She is the first person I contact to watch them when I am in need! She cares for all animals as if they were her own and you can see the true passion she has for the love of all animals. Very reliable and trustworthy!
We have used Laura several times to take care of our multiple animals when we have gone out of town on business. Although I miss my pets terribly, I never once have a concern when she cares for them. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats inside, a neighborhood cat outside and 2 birds. She is very in tune with each of them and deals well with their quirky little personalities as well as taking care of their physical needs. I highly recommend her because she takes care of them as though they were her own.
Laura is the sweetest girl ever! You can tell she loves animals with a passion. Laura has watched my dog and cat before and did an excellent job. I will definitely be using her again to watch my pets.
