Pets are family

Pet care experience

Specializing in weekday pack hikes/group walks, and cat drop ins Hi, I absolutely love dogs and cats, and have been pet sitting the past seventeen years. I'm responsible, communicative, reliable, and treat each client as if they were my own. Covid vaccinated 👍🏼 My goal is to provide a calm and loving presence for your pet while they’re missing you, and to make your trip as easily as possible from my end. Every dog is my favorite dog 😊 And I specialize in winning over shy trepidatious cats I'm a 34 year old Bay Area native. I don't smoke, I'm very active and love dog walks. I have a reliable car, and I have never canceled on someone. I grew up with cats, dogs, birds, a rabbit, hamsters, and I've done pet sitting for fish, rats, and reptiles additionally Dog sitting includes a morning walk, and being let out early evening and before bed (around midnight). If they need more bathroom opportunities or chances to get out their energy, please message me their routine and we can make adjustments by adding additional walks to customize their schedule Your pet’s safety and happiness is my constant goal. I’m confident and adaptable. I’ve had dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperament. Every dog is wonderful and has their own unique personality. I love sending photo updates I walk dogs throughout the day, after making this my full time a few months back. I love all my clients so much and it’s been incredible I’m privately insured, have great relationships with my clients, and do my best to be responsive as quickly as possible at all times. The dogs I walk are amazing and I love them all

Laura took fantastic care of our English bulldog while we were on vacation. Unlike our last Rover experience, where the sitter seemed to treat Monty like a chore, Laura cared for him like he was her own. Highly recommended.

Laura was great. We have a larger reactive dog and have had some issues in the past. Laura was able to manage our dog without any issues. She was very reliable, undeterred by the rain, and super responsive. We booked well ahead of time and she pro-actively reminded us that we were still on the schedule. Definitely recommend Laura!

Laura had great communication and went above and beyond while dropping in on Bertie for a week. My scaredy-cat seemed to really take a shine to her

Information Laura B. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds. My usual questions would be- are they on medication, do they have aggression with other dogs, people on the street, separation anxiety, etc. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, but certain behavioral issues will come with a higher daily rate

A typical day

Neighborhood walks, trips to the dog park, hiking, it's up to you. I like to keep them in their routine as much as possible, whether your dog is a sofa-loaf or high energy and needing 40 minutes of chuckit
