Reliable, caring, animal lover!
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Laura! I'm a patient, reliable, caring, hardworking animal lover who would love to take care of your animals! I have been caring for dogs of various sizes and energy levels since I was 6. Growing up I had a very high energy chocolate lab named Ginger. She was horrible on a leash and way too strong for me to manage as an 8 year old. I was determined though to be able to walk a dog on my own, so I asked my neighbors who had smaller, more manageable dogs if I could walk their dogs. I walked two of my neighbors dogs on a weekly basis, and I've been in love with walking and caring for dogs ever since! Eventually, I even gained control over my beloved Ginger, and was able to walk her on my own. Over the years I have taken care of my own dogs, cats, hamsters, rat and Guinea pigs. Currently I have a year old Australian shepherd/heeler mix named Aspen and two main coon cats named Marshall and Skye. I also have experience pet sitting dogs, cats, geckos, fish, and rabbits of my friends and family. I worked for 2 years at Petco where I gained experience in caring for various small animals, reptiles, and amphibians. I love all animals! I love the outdoors and exploring new trails and parks! While your animals are in my care I will treat them like they are a part of my family. I will also exercise their bodies and mind.
Reviews
Laura did great with our dogs! Dogs were well cared for. Will keep her in mind for future needs.
Laura went above and beyond to accommodate me. When another sitter on Rover canceled last minute the night before excellent customer service definitely cares about your pet my dog loved her. I would recommend her to anybody sweet natured, and truly cares about what she does I would give her 10 stars if it was possible thanks again.
I cannot begin to say how great Laura was watching my 3 dogs. 3 days before my trip - one of my dogs got a virus and was put on antibiotics + prednisone (ie... increased thirst and pees ALOT). Laura came daily and endured many accidents plus the weather froze for 2 days. What a trooper! And my dogs warmed up to her almost immediately! Definitely a 5 STAR!
Thank you Laura ~ We appreciate you taking care of Chase!

Information Laura B. would like to know about your pet
I like to know what kind of temperament the dog has and favorite activities. Also if there are any problem behaviors that are being worked on ex: jumping, barking, digging, bolting out of doors, ect.
A typical day
I'm a strong believer in both physical and mental exercises to help combat destructive behaviors, and boredom in dogs! Your dog and I will enjoy taking walks in various locations to help stimulate her mind while she's getting physical exercise! We also will work on basic manners and maybe learn some tricks while she's in my care. Of course we will also enjoy many games of fetch, tug of war, and other fun games while your dog is in my care!
