Vet Tech: Professional Love & Care!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Laken, a full time Certified Veterinary Technician since 2011. I work with dogs big and small (among other animals) on a daily basis and can't get enough of them! What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I will always be a vet tech first. I can't just throw food in a dish- I want to create a stress free vacation for your pet! I can care for them in a fun yet safe and responsible manner whether you have a puppy who needs basic training worked on or a senior pet who needs medications and close attention. I love getting to know each individual companion because they are all so different! Some are shy and sweet while others are bubbly and boisterous... and honestly I love them all! They paws-itively become a part of my little family by the end of their stay.

Laken took great care of my cat and was friendly, polite & easy to community. Highly recommend!

Laken has taken care of my crew for several years now and we think she is the top dog and the cats' meow! Her background was in synch with mine so she is the sitter I was looking for. She is timely and spends quality time with each of pet, well almost all of them. The prissy cat wants no one's time but her mom's. She follows the instructions I leave and problems never develop. She seems like the resourceful type if they did. She takes great photos on each visit - some selfies - and you can tell she really enjoyed what she was doing. I have total confidence when I need Laken and her services and never worry when she's in charge of my crazy crew. We think she's the best (even Miss Priss Cameo does). Luv, Maureen, Elliott, Rusty Ryan, (and maybe prissy Cameo)

Scout loves staying with Laken. It’s her home away from home. And Laken even noticed & took care of a little ear infection Scout had.

Laken was so amazing with my dog Piper! I was so nervous leaving her with someone new, but Laken did such a great job making me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and updates of Piper everyday and she was sure to give her tons of exercise and cuddles. At the end of the trip I had a flight delay and Laken was extremely flexible and worked with me to allow Piper to stay for an extra night!

Safety, trust & environment

I always offer tender love and care to your fur babies while they are in my care. I'm also a certified veterinary technician so I'm able to pick up on signs of concern, especially if they have medical conditions.

Information Laken T. would like to know about your pet

1. How does your dog do around other animals? Any aggressive behaviors? 2. Does your dog suffer with any anxiety? (Ex: storms, separation anxiety, being kennelled) I'm a lover of all breeds, all shapes & sizes. With that being said, they can all be so different. It's important to me to get to know your dog's personality so that I can provide them with a stress free (and fun!) stay while owners are away. I want my house to be their own little vacation!

A typical day

PHOTOS: I absolutely adore getting pictures of pets. If available I send updates with pictures each day during their stay. CUDDLES: If your dog is a cuddler, that is a BONUS for me!!! I will love them forever. EXERCISE: I'm able to give your dog up to a 2 mile walk twice daily or if they prefer to just relax that's fine too! PLAY: I am a worthy opponent for tug-of-war!
