Pet care experience

Professional belly-rub distributor

I've grown up around big and small dogs as part of my family. From German Shepherds to Miniature Poodles, with other animals sprinkled throughout. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide dependable, attentive care and make sure every walk is safe, enriching, and tailored to your dog’s energy level. From high-energy zoomers to gentle senior sweethearts, I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and needs. You can expect clear communication, punctuality, and a whole lot of love for your pup.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets — whether in my home or yours — I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm. I understand that being away from their owner can be stressful, so I aim to provide steady attention, reassurance, and structured care. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, monitor behavior and energy levels, and communicate regularly with updates. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for at all times.

Laina was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with, flexible, reliable, and caring. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and would absolutely book with her again. Definitely 5/5.

I can’t recommend Laina enough as a pet caregiver. She is responsible, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals. Sherlock absolutely adores her, and that says everything. He does not just tolerate her. He lights up when he sees her. The bond they have built is natural and heartwarming. When Sherlock is with Laina, I have complete peace of mind. She treats him with patience, affection, and real care. It is clear she does not just watch pets. She connects with them. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly devoted to the dogs in her care, Laina is the one.

I highly recommend Laina for your fur babies!!! I have 2 frenchies so I’m very picky when it comes to just letting anyone care for them, especially in the summertime when it gets too hot. She knows the warning signs to look out for and she always makes sure my fur kids are as comfortable and happy as possible! If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be able to go out of town when I need to!

Schedule

I work full-time from home, which allows me flexibility and a consistent routine. My primary availability is in the evenings, making me a great fit for after-work walks and end-of-day energy burns. Because I work remotely, I’m reliable, responsive, and able to plan my schedule intentionally around my booked walks.
