I am happy to spend an hour with your pet per drop in. Will make sure they go potty, have water and anything else they might need. If it’s pet sitting your dog is my whole day! Play, walks and tons of cuddles. I’ll make sure you get pictures and updates daily or as often as you want them!

Information Laina W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your dog needs! Cuddles, a run, or anything in between, I’m happy to provide the perfect day for your best friend.

A typical day

From dog parks to car rides, we can do it all. Walks or cuddles on the couch I’m here to do whatever your pet needs. Happy to tire out your energetic puppy or take a nap with your senior, I can adjust to whatever your pup needs are.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Laina, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 18 years! I am insured! I’ve loved dogs my whole life—I've owned them since I was 10—and I now share my home with two wonderful pups of my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy… it’s my full-time job and my passion. I attended veterinary technician school, so I have a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I’m comfortable with administering medications, following special care instructions, and giving extra attention to pets with unique needs. I work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. Whether your dog needs long walks, cuddles, structure, or a calm presence, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like family, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos, messages, and anything you need for peace of mind. 💛 I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend

Laina is lovely and reliable, and we feel confident leaving town when she’s in charge. Highly recommend and hope she’ll always say “yes” when we need her.

Laina is awesome, reliable, trustworthy and kind. This is the first time I left the country and left my pets with someone, and she nailed it.
