Experienced dog walker, pet sitter

Pet care experience

With years of dog mom experience and fostering for local rescues, I can honestly say dogs are my first love. I have two rescued senior dogs, Pork Chop, a Jack Russell terrier and Trudy a “super sized” dachshund who are the loves of my life. They are the “golden girls” of the neighborhood and adore other dogs. They have helped many of my fosters overcome separation anxiety and are always happy to meet new pups. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand that much like humans, they all have wildly different personalities. Their safety and well being are my greatest priorities so please share as much info as you can regarding triggers, food restrictions, resource guarding or anything else that makes them unique. ⚡️☔️ If your pet has triggers, not a problem! I’m well practiced in handling those unpredictable moments, keeping your baby safe and relaxed indoors and on walks. 💊 If your dog or cat needs meds, don’t fret! I’ve cared for animals in varying stages of health and have tons of experience in how to administer meds to even the snootiest of snoots. 🍗 Is your dog a trash eater? Fear not, so are mine! My years of being a dog mom have created a 6th sense for knowing when our fuzzy toddlers are about to grab a “street treat.” 🐱 And let’s not forget kitties, they are my favorite people too! I grew up around cats and care for a few neighbor kitties so I’m familiar with all the quirks that make them lovable. Special feeding requests and litter box cleanings are not a bother so you can feel confident your feline friend will be kept well fed and tidy.

Could not have asked for a better sitter. Laura was professional, incredibly warm and attentive to my dog, and communicated very well. I have a dog with separation anxiety and she knew how to make my dog feel comfortable and safe. Would definitely book her services again!

Laura was fantastic. She took extra precaution with feeding and safety. She communicated well and send lots of cute pictures. She also played with the kitties and they enjoyed her very much.

Laura is so incredibly kind, welcoming, and caring. She took incredible care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend, and it really put us at ease knowing he was in such good hands! Would recommend her to anyone.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is a calm, safe environment where dogs are free to lounge, play and be themselves. If your dog likes to be free or needs some crate time just let me know, I understand how important it is to follow these instructions. Changing wee wee pads is never an issue, just leave the fresh ones out and I’m at your service! As for Covid-19 safety there’s no reason to worry, I’m fully vaccinated/ boosted and always masked. Plus, I travel in my own car, avoiding public transportation so you can feel at ease when I enter your home. I’m also happy to remove my shoes, wash pet bowls and clean surfaces during feeding times :) Hope you enjoy the photo gallery of all the fur babes in my orbit 🪐

Information Laura C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special dietary or medical needs. It’s also helpful to know how they might react to me entering your home for a drop in and to other dogs on walks. If your dog is trained, don’t forget to add which commands they know and if they have any triggers outdoors.

A typical day

For the younger pups, a day of fun activities might consist of toy time, belly rubs and a brisk walk around a park! For the greying muzzles, a relaxing stroll around the neighborhood with my golden girls might be just what’s needed.
