Availability
I am currently in school which helps my schedule be decently flexible. Most of my classes are online so I can be home with dogs the majority of the day! My dog, Sage, is a thriving child of divorce and is with her Dad until August.

About Laura B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
If your dog is staying with me, I have a fenced area in the condo units where I live. Condo is single story. There are several parks close by, including the Alberta Park Dog Off Leash Area which is not fenced. If you are comfortable and your dog has good recall to me, I can take your dog there, too. If they prefer to be leashed the whole time, other parks are close and we will have just as much fun! If I am picking your dog up to walk and return to your home, I will take the utmost care to be gentle and respectful of your animal and home. It can be strange for animals to have someone new in their space and I will make sure they know I am a safe person. If pet parents are amenable, I usually have small training treats I give my dog on walks and can do the same for your dog! I have experience ranging from very young puppies to senior dogs as well as post surgery care.

Information Laura B. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if they have any behavioral patterns, allergies, medications, or other daily needs. I want to provide the best care to your furry friends so sharing any relevant information with me is important.
A typical day
I usually start the morning with a nice walk, generally 2ish miles or about an hour of walking/sniffing. I will modify for smaller dogs, dogs with injuries, or at the owners request. Depending on dog needs, we’ll do breakfast before or after the walk. There is plenty of outside time if the dog would like it, otherwise I have a comfortable inside space where pets are allowed on furniture. We have lots of dog toys to share! In the evening we go for another long walk or potentially two shorter walks equivalent to the long one, depending on the weather.

Pet care experience
As a dog owner of my own for 7 years and growing up with pets, I know how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets like they’re family. Thats me! I will care for your animals like they are my own and will always strive to give them a positive encounter. I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies (around 3 weeks old and up). I know sometimes extra care is needed and will always prioritize their comfort and well being. Additionally, I am good with shy and/or skittish dogs and know how to help them feel safe while showing them I am trustworthy and gentle. My experience with cats is about 10 years.
Reviews
Wonderful, super communicative, friendly, and a great caretaker. We returned home to a happy pup that was clearly well treated. Thanks again!
Laura is amazing!! She allowed us to book last minute, and provided our Zoe with safe and fun care! Long walks three times a day, play, and snuggles! Laura also sent us daily photos, which was lovely to see while we were out of the country. We appreciated Laura’s flexibility, and great care of Zoe! She had a fantastic time. We will definitely use Laura again in the future! Highly recommend!! Also, Laura’s dog Sage is a delight, and is great with other dogs.
Laura did a fantastic job watching my pup! Excellent communication and lots of cute photos :)
What a love! Soooo kind and respectful toward our senior pups! Pics & constant communication. Highly recommend!!!! Truly treated our dogs as if they were hers.
