Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Favorite Caregiver!

Hi pet parents! I’m Laura, an experienced and reliable pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and personalities - from energetic puppies to calm seniors, including Labradors, Shih Tzus, Belgian Malinois, mixed breeds, and cats. I’m confident handling a wide range of temperaments and special needs. I’m also a Marin Humane volunteer and currently completing an Animal Welfare course, along with additional training in animal behavior. This helps me better understand pet communication, stress signals, enrichment, and overall well-being. I have extensive experience with daily routines including feeding, walks, medication, and multi-pet households. I follow instructions carefully so your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment in a very walkable neighborhood with a yard for outdoor breaks. Pets are never left alone and always receive full attention, care, and supervision. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, overnight stays, or in-home care, I provide dependable, loving care you can trust. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet like family and keeps their routine consistent while you’re away, I’d love to help. I fill up quickly, so feel free to reach out to secure your dates!

Laura was great. Her home is easy to get to in town but removed to have a nice yard for the dogs to play in. She was very communicative. We will definitely rebook in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are treated like family! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved with plenty of playtime, cuddles, walks, and rest. I follow your pet’s usual routine, keep their area clean, and send photo updates so you can see how happy they are. Whether it’s for a night or a few days, your furry friend will be in caring hands. When I care for pets in your home, I follow your routines carefully to keep your furry friends happy and safe. I feed and water them, take dogs for walks, play with them, administer medications if needed, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I also provide companionship, attention, and reassurance while you’re away. I send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are well cared for.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, healthy, and engaged while their owners are away! 🐾 I take them on walks as often as they like, let them play and relax in my fenced yard, and can even reinforce training/practice commands. I provide interactive play, cuddles. I always adapt activities to each pet’s personality and energy level, and I love sending photos so you can see how happy they are! 📸

Before I care for your pets, I like to know their routines, feeding schedule, exercise needs, any medications, and any special behaviors or preferences. I also ask about house rules and emergency contacts, so I can keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.
