Pet care experience

Can’t wait to meet your baby!

I am an absolute animal lover and would love to care for your pet. I helped take care of my family’s dogs and cats since I was little, learning to walk, feed, brush, bathe, play, and care for them. In college, I volunteered at the local Humane Society, where I helped love, clean, and care for all kinds of animals. I am currently a graduate student at Duke, so I have a flexible schedule. I am also a certified EMT and am extremely responsible, communicative, and devoted.

Laina took such great care of our older dog and house while we were away! Our pup loved her and we appreciated the updates!

Laina was fantastic! We felt completely at ease leaving our Penny with her while we visited some local attractions. I would highly recommend Laina!

Certainly devoted to provide ‘best care’ opportunities for our four legged companions. My Becca did well, & was obviously safe, secure, happy in Laina’s care. I’m sure we will see Laina again. Thanks!

I 10000% recommend this amazing Lady. Troy was right at home with her and she was kind enough to send pictures and activity updates.

Safety, trust & environment

If I am dog/cat sitting in your home, I will be sure to check that your pet has everything they need. I will always be respectful and keep your home clean. I live in a single story home with a big backyard.
