Pet care experience
Dog Mom of 13 Years
I've been a dog mom for over 13 years! My girl came home with me at just 4 months old, and she's still my whole heart today at 13. She's also taught me more about attentive, compassionate pet care than I ever expected. She's always been reactive, which means I've spent years learning how to read dog behavior, manage stress responses, and create a calm, secure environment. And as she's gotten older, she's developed a number of health issues that have made me comfortable with medications, vet routines, and the kind of patient, watchful care that older or special-needs dogs require. I know from experience how hard it is to leave your dog with someone. The anxiety is real! That's exactly why I take every booking personally. Updates, photos, check-ins, whatever helps you feel at ease, I'm happy to do.

Ratings and reviews
Laura is the best!! She made Cora so comfortable and treated her like her own pet. Cora even had a last minute injury that meant she had to wear a cone while staying with Laura, and I couldn’t be happier with how Laura took thoughtful and kind care of Cora and kept us updated throughout. We will 100% be coming back, Cora has gained a friend for life!!! Thank you Laura!
Laura was very communicative and provided my pup with a wonderful time.
Laura is such a wonderful person! She is very kind, loving and reliable. Always there when you need her. She's the best dog mom! If it's furry and has 4 legs, she's giving it cuddles & pets. In any room you're in, if there is a dog, there you will find Laura. She's the best person to have to watch your baby while you're gone.
Laura is compassionate and caring, especially when it comes to giving care to pets. She is gentle and nurturing and shows each pet attention and love when she is with them. Her ability to meet each pet's individual needs and her sweet demeanor make her an excellent candidate for a caregiver.

Schedule
I’m available full-time, which means I’m not offering a bare-minimum "place for your dog to sleep." I’m providing in-home, attentive care: - this is my primary job so the dog isn't left alone for 8–10 hours - About 4 potty breaks per day - Feeding your pet meals on their schedule - Playtime - Cuddles and companionship - Medication administration when needed - A relatively consistent routine My schedule has a bit of a unique rhythm: I share custody of my dog, so every other month she's with me, and every other month I have full flexibility at home. On the months she's away, I open up for boarding and daycare in my apartment, in addition to my regular dog walking and drop-in visits. On the months she's with me, I keep walks and drop-ins going so I can still be there for your pup, just in a way that works best for everyone. I am always taking on new clients for dog walking as I am available all the time for that. Especially looking to have more repeat clients who need a routine walking schedule!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My apartment is dog-friendly and calm. No chaos, no strangers cycling in and out. When your dog is here, it's just us, and they get my full attention. I'm attentive by nature, and with a reactive dog of my own, I've become someone who genuinely notices and responds to how an animal is feeling. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and honesty. I'll always be upfront with you, respond quickly to messages, and send updates so you know exactly how your pup is doing. I don't take on more dogs than I can genuinely care for. I believe that quality over quantity is always better.
A typical day
I love being able to take them for long walks to make sure they get tuckered out. Also happy to take them to a dog park and let them run around and play if needed, but I usually only do this if there are no other dogs there to avoid any issues.

- Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. I know our fur babies all have some quirks and routines that work best for them so the more I know, the more I can make sure they get what they need.
