Availability

I’m currently working full-time in a hybrid position. On days I work from home (typically tuesday and friday) I have flexibility to make local drop-in visits or take dogs for walks around the area on my lunch break. Additionally, I’m able to adjust my working location to house-sit animals who may require more attention. However, I have the most availability when I’m off the clock all day Saturday and Sunday. This time is ideal for house-sitting, dog walks, drop-in visits and any other pet care needs. Feel free to reach out with any questions about my availability!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious brookline apartment, under 10 minutes away from Grigg’s Park and the Brookline Reservoir. I’d be happy to take pets to the park for some play time alongside many of the other dogs in my local area. Please note, I do not feel comfortable walking any animals without a leash. I also have a small grass area at the front and back of my house where pets can quickly use the bathroom. For cats, there is plenty of space indoors for play and to store items like a litter box, toys, cat tower etc.

dependable, animal-loving petsitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, looking after dogs of different sizes and temperaments around my neighborhood. Over the years, I’ve gained additional experience caring for my own pets, including four cats and two dogs. Both of my dogs were adopted at around two months old, requiring significant time and attention to successfully implement potty training and develop behavioral skills. I’m one of the biggest animal lovers I know and am confident I can provide a safe, loving environment for your furry friends, treating them like my own.

Laine took great care of Chloe during her doggy daycare stay! We really appreciated the chance to meet beforehand, which gave us confidence that Chloe would be in good hands. Laine also kept us updated throughout, and it was clear Chloe had a great time. We’d definitely book with Laine again and highly recommend her!

Laine was wonderful! Our dog happily went with her and didn’t look back. She was clear and communicative and very nice.

We’ve booked with Laine several times now and she is so great with our hyper Australian Shepherd! Very communicative with us and keeps us at ease while we are traveling.
