Pet care experience
Growing up, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to care for all sorts of animals. Dogs have a special place in my heart as I was raised with the responsibility of helping take care of my family’s Labrador Retriever and Maltese dogs. Exercise, health, nutrition, comfort, and tender love were vital to the way we nurtured our dogs. I have experience with both older dogs and young puppies as well as small and large dogs. I like to prioritize daily exercise with my pets as this can establish trust and it is crucial for their health.
Reviews
Laura is very reliable and takes good care of my cat.
Laura took great care of my cat, which was the first time I've used a cat sitter. She played with my cat, sent me pictures, and kept me updated on my cat's visit. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.
Laura is wonderful with our Vizsla. She is responsible and reliable. I never worry when Laura is scheduled to drop in. She communicates clearly and puts us at ease. I highly recommend her.
About Laura B.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I ensure that my pets have a safe and healthy/clean environment to be in. This is crucial to the health of my pets because their comfort is my priority. I typically bathe them multiple times a week which can very depending on the outside train (mud, puddles, etc). I also ensure that they are fed and rewarded with proper nutrients to maintain overall health and schedule frequent veterinary visits to stay updated on the veterinary needs of the pet. Lastly, trust between the pet and the owner is huge priority of mine so I make sure that I provide physical support such as petting, belly rubbing, and holding if necessary to build trust between the pet and I and make them feel comfortable and safe.
Information Laura B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or special behaviors I should know about. I am willing to provide flexible care for a range of needs of the dogs.
A typical day
I love to make sure that they get plenty of exercise so walking and being outside is a priority. I also enjoy playing fetch and doing other stimulating activities with them!
