Availability
I work remotely part-time so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to spend as much time as needed with your pets, and I can easily adjust my day around your pet’s needs and routine. I'm available nearly any time on weekdays and weekends, for both one-day visits and extended stays in your home.

About Laura B.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being by maintaining their normal routines and familiar environment. I follow all care instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to walking routes—and monitor their behavior to ensure they are happy and healthy. I make sure doors and gates are secure, walking areas are safe, and pets are never left unattended outside. I treat your home with the utmost respect and ensure it is left clean and tidy upon your return. I also value clear communication, providing regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and caring experience for your pets while giving you complete peace of mind.
Information Laura B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know basic care instructions, and if there are any special needs or behaviors to take into account. I love all ages and types of dogs.
A typical day
I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine and make sure they enjoy their favorite activities. Whether that entails long walks, playing fetch, visiting the dog park, hanging out in the yard, or snuggling on the couch, I tailor each day to what makes them happy. If your pet has special favorite activities, I love incorporating those, like setting up playdates with their dog friends, going for a drive to their favorite park or trail, or visiting a dog-friendly restaurant they enjoy. My goal is to keep their days fun, comfortable, and as familiar as possible while you’re away.

Pet care experience
I am a huge animal lover! I grew up with dogs, and my family currently has a beagle-mix rescue named Lucy. Since my landlord does not allow pets, I would love any opportunity to play/hang out with other dogs. As a responsible, loving, and hardworking individual, I am my friends’ go to for dog-sitting whenever they go out of town, and I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I am happy to feed, walk or run, play with, and love on your dog.... whatever is needed as I am flexible and cater to each dog’s needs. I can help with medications and overnights. I am excited to take your dog for long walks in parks or just snuggle at home. Your wonderful pet will be happy and safe with me!
Reviews
Laura is always so good with Cleo and we trust her fully house sitting in our home. Thank you for all you do! We appreciate you.
Laura is a gem with Cleo. She is always our first choice for house sitting. Thank you for another wonderful stay.
Thank you so much for taking care of Cee-Cee! We know she is always in great hands with you.
Laura went above and beyond while caring for my three dogs, each with their own special needs and personalities. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, and when my plans unexpectedly changed, she remained flexible and reassuring. One of my dogs became very sick after a food change, and Laura showed him so much care, patience, and attention, sending frequent updates and making sure he was comfortable. Even my more challenging dog warmed up to her quickly. She also left my space clean (including washing some accidents due to the sickness from my fur baby), and better than I left it. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.
