Pet care experience

I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and love taking care of them! Since I'm a student, I will be available to provide a service I thoroughly enjoy doing and giving my full time at home with your pet. I have a wonderful "home away from home" for your fury family member. I'm also close to a wonderful new fenced in dog park, which is large and well shaded. There's plenty of room for running, a game of fetch and meeting new friends. I spoil my animals so please don't hesitate to come with a long care list and lots of luggage. I'll spoil your lovely fury baby just as I do mine. I also have an XL metal kennel (perfect condition) and stainless steel bowls for your precious pup. If you do kennel at night and don't want to lug your kennel around, no fear I have one here! I Have training treats to help keep up with training at home or teach new commands. I also have a very clean and calming bedroom to set up their crate or dog bed right next to mine so they won't be alone in a new place. I will do whatever schedule they are used to so they will have a smooth transition here and when they come home to you. I provide a service to help YOU and make YOUR life easy and know YOUR PET is well cared for. I send tons of pictures, videos and updates daily. Fell free to contact me for any questions or a meet and greet. I hope to hear from you soon!

Laura was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Luk had the time of her life and I believe she was sad to leave Laura’s and come home. 😉. Laura communicated daily with text, pictures and videos. There were walks, play dates, a little pool out back for splashing around. She bathed her and loved her and taught her a few things too! We could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you! We will be including Luk on more of the play dates in the future so that she can continue to socialize and have fun with dogs her own size.

Always nervous about leaving Kevlar with someone. Laura was fantastic, from the first meet up until pickup. She was great with Kevlar and they bonded quickly. Constant updates on walks and playing etc. Really put my mind at ease. Great lady and has a love for animals

I was told the sitters kitten would be in another room while my dogs were inside, but kitten was not, and my dogs do not do well with cats so two out of three of my dogs had to be placed in the kennel. Previous conversations that I do not use kennels and she would not use them. I feel this was unfair to my boys to be punished, being placed in the kennel, when I was told kitten would be put up. I would have not taken the boys if the kitten was going to be around where the boys could possibly harm the kitten. Needless to say, this was very disappointing and upsetting.

I have a 1/3 of an acre with a six foot privacy fence for the dogs to play safely and not get loose. There is a Large dog house (fits 3 Lg dogs), my shed is open and clear with rug down, the patio for the shed has a dog bed a box of tiys, my back patio has dog beds/matts, I also have a huge water troth for the dogs ( pyranese,labs, breeds who need lot of water). On ho days i set up the kiddie pool and sprinklers for water play. They are welcome indoors and out. Dogs can sleep freely or crated at owners specification. I have tons of toys indoor and out in all sizes and for all ages and play. I have plush tiys, super chewer tots, teething toys for pups and ropes, balls etc. I clean, wash sanitize between bookings. My yard is treated every three months for fleas and ticks. stuffed with beds and blankets. Nash loves sharing his toys and playing all day if he can.

Information Laura A. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with deaf, blind and ones who are handicapable! I’ll take young, old, healthy or had a bad run of luck. I love the all the same and am a very attentive nurturing animal lover.

A typical day

I love to be outside and let dogs run, play and just be a dog! I think all dogs should have the option of two hours out a day every day! I am willing to take them to parks here in my neighborhood or all around Springfield.
