Recent Grad Seeking Furry Friends!

Pet care experience

I am a true dog-lover from a dog-loving family and recognize that pets are family members, so I will always watch after yours like they are my own!

Laura did such a wonderful job taking care of my dog Jaxson! At our meet & greet he liked her right from the start. While I was away Laura kept me updated and sent me the most adorable pictures. I returned to a happy pup and my house was in great shape. I've already booked my next sitting with Laura!

Laura was great! She arrived on time and cared for our pups like they were her own. She sent photos of their happy faces each day and gave them the love and attention they demand. One of our dogs is a special needs senior dog, which Laura was great with handling. Our dogs were happy and healthy upon our return and I look forward to working with Laura in the future. Big wags for Laura!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very active and love outdoor activities (I run regularly with my dog, and hiking with my dog is literally my favorite activity of all time) and am certainly willing and able to exercise with your high-energy dog, whether that means a long brisk walk, a multi-mile run, or playing fetch in the backyard. However, I would also be content lounging around and managing belly-rubs with your low-energy dog. :)

Information Laura B. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences and am happy to care for dogs of all sizes, as long as they are not too heavy/strong for a reasonably fit person to control on a leash while out walking. Before sitting your dog, I would like to know if they have any history of food aggression, aggression towards strangers, or other aggressive tendencies. Of course, I would also need to know if they need to take medication or require any other additional care procedures.

A typical day

I will cater to your dog's specific needs and interests! If your dog likes to run, I can run several miles. If your dog likes to sit on the sofa, I will sit beside your dog on the sofa. If your dog likes to go on adventures, I am familiar with several dog-friendly parks and hiking trails in the area. If your dog likes to socialize with other dogs, I can bring my own pooch to tag along (if not, my dog is happy to stay at home with the rest of the family).

Having grown up with two dogs in the house, I have also continually cared for a wide range of breeds and sizes (ranging from pugs and dachshunds to greyhounds, mastiffs, and malamutes) whenever my relatives, friends, and neighbors needed help. I have ample experience with elderly dogs needing extra attention and dogs requiring oral medication. Since adopting my current dog, Abby, 5 years ago when she was just 8 weeks old, I have also gained considerable experience dealing with high-energy rambunctious puppies!
