Dependable, flexible, experienced!

Pet care experience

I know first hand just how hard it can be to find a reliable, loving, trustworthy sitter for your furry family members! That's exactly what inspired me to join Rover. I have extensive experience raising rescue pups, managing behavioral issues, and caring for senior/special needs animals (including giving oral & injectable medications). I believe that every animal deserves love and attention...even if they're a little quirky. I am an animal lover in every sense of the word. I've cared for everything from hamsters to horses, and snakes to star fish. I think dogs are God's gift to humanity and I'll treat yours like a valued member of my family. I love meeting new dogs/cats and getting to know their unique personalities. I know every pup and their families are unique so please reach out if you have any concerns about the care you're looking for. I am happy to customize the care that your pet gets whether that means keeping up with a specific training routines, exercise needs, social quirks, etc. Other Services: Although it cannot be booked through Rover, I also offer canine training sessions for things like new puppy acclimation, reactivity issues, and more. Recurring yard clean-up (poop pick-up) is also available. If you are considering any of my services, please send me a message so we can chat about your needs and how I can help.

Laura is an amazing dog walker and friend to our dog. She is flexible, responsive, and so trustworthy. We love Laura and plan to continue asking for her help in the future!

Laura is just the best! She’s watched my kitties multiple times and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re taken care of and I’m in the loop :)

Laura is fantastic with my nervous dog and so thoughtful. Is willing to help out for last minute walks. Clifford loves her, and grateful to have a reliable walker!

Laura went ABOVE AND BEYOND! :) Best Rover card I have ever received and she took care of my dog with everything we needed and more! She really helped out with many other details that were SO helpful and sent some cute pics too! I felt like my pup and home were in the best hands ever. She has a positive, helpful, outstanding personality. Beyond 5 stars! She is the best. Thank you Laura. :)

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my first priority with your pup/kitty. I'm careful to avoid potential escapes, running triggers, etc. On walks, I will stick with your walking style (relaxed or highly controlled) while always being alert so that we avoid negative interactions with traffic, pedestrians, other dogs, squirrels, etc.

Information Laura B. would like to know about your pet

Please be sure to let me know your dogs likes, dislikes, special needs, and triggers (such as squirrels, or other dogs). Are they friendly with people/children? Are there any specific commands you would like me to use? If you are working on something specific in your dog's training, please let me know so that I can stay consistent with that you have been doing.

A typical day

Whether we're on a walk or your pup is over for a stay, consistency is important! I like to adjust to what your pup is used to. Whether your dog likes to lounge around watching animal planet, or take 5-mile walks every day...I'm happy when your pup is happy! I tend to be a very active person but I also love puppy snuggles.
