Safety, trust & environment
I’m reliable, responsive, vigilant, and adaptable to your animal’s needs, routines, and preferences. Long walks? Extra cuddles? Distance to feel safe? Interactive playing? Training practice? Treats? Let me know! WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: 🐾 Drop-In: I visit pets in your home, perhaps take them outside, play about, burn some energy, serve a meal/meds, clean the litter box, etc. You’ll get a fun, detailed review of our time + precious pics! We’ll have a photoshoot, and you’ll have pictorial souvenirs to enjoy. 🐕 Walk: We can keep a cruising pace for exercise or a slow sniff walk for enrichment. They’ll get fresh air + you’ll get great photos of happy doggos! 🛋️ Boarding: Consistent company, quiet home (just me), fenced yards, cozy sunbaths, fresh air, lovely walks, timely feedings, descriptive updates + priceless pics! I have a big water bowl, basket of indestructible dog toys, and an open invitation to get on the furniture/bed. I’ll report back as often as you’d like. 🏠 Housesitting: I come care for your pets AND your home, sticking to their environment for optimal comfort. I’m extremely respectful of others’ homes, leave it cleaner than found, fetch mail, water plants, take out trash, etc. And of course you’ll also receive entertaining updates + quality pics!

Dedicated Full-time Pet Care 💛
Pet care experience
Howdy! I’ve been loving animals my entire life and treat yours like my own 🫶🏼 I started providing pet care full-time in 2025 after losing my tech job to layoffs, followed by my sidekick pup passing. This means your critters get my full, devoted attention + energy! I can be your homebody with a flexible schedule and cater to your routine. I offer all pet services — walks, drop-ins, housesitting, and boarding — but only board one at a time OR welcome more from the same household! (I’ve cared for as many as 4 large dogs + 30 chickens at once in their home.) If your baby requires any medication, I’ve managed strict schedules, pills, shots, and even an inhaler. I’m very experienced with anxious + reactive pets who need extra patience. I’ve worked with 100s of animals with unique personalities. So whether they’re senior, baby, uneasy, shy, lazy, energetic, spicy, leash-pullers, extra loving, not fans of others, or have medical needs — I’m equipped & here to support! I empathize with how unsettling it can be to leave your fur-baby, and my objective is to be the ultimate relief, enabling you to carry on comfortably + confidently. I identify as a helicopter pawrent, an avid communicator, and in the words of Taylor Swift, a “pathological people pleaser.” TL;DR: I genuinely care about your babies, reliably keep you informed, and strive to deliver amazing experiences for you + yours. 🌟

Reviews
Laura was AMAZING. I have two very energetic but different personality dogs and she was amazing with both of them. Her communication was amazing. she took care of my house so nicely, it’s like she was never here! And most importantly my dogs were so cared for that I don’t even think they noticed we were gone. I appreciate her so much!!!
Laura was great with my fur baby. She kept me informed of his day with both pictures and reports. He seemed happy and relaxed. I already have her scheduled again next month to take care of my pet when I will be out of town.
Laura is wonderful to work with and takes great care of Cooper!
The best!!! Our dog absolutely loves Laura!
