Experienced Sitter and Behaviorist!

Pet care experience

Hi there. I first joined seven years ago when I lived in Boston and now am in CO! I have pets at my whole life and have done it professionally for 6 years now off and on. The past few years I’ve been studying and researching dog behavior, working with many well known programs such as Bark Busters, Sit means sit. I’d like to think I come as close to speaking their language and understanding dogs as possible!!! I’m experienced in training, commands, healing behaviors, aggression, etc. so if you have a difficult dog I’m sure I can manage the situation! Just please communicate and set expectations accordingly :) I love to help. NOTE: I charge a $30/night fee for dogs that need to be separated from other dogs. This is how I make a living in the valley and so if I can’t book other dogs I try to make up for the costs. Keeping dogs separated (depending on the reason) is not an easy task and does add more work and resources too! I charge $20/night extra for special needs dogs (specifically if they require carrying.) I’ve done many special requests such as weddings and can accompany your dog for whatever your needs. I work from home and so they usually hang out with me. I like to get outside at least 3x per day! But I have a big patio I let the dogs lounge on too if they want to be outside while I’m working I live in Vail right next to a massive park and trails for walks. I can also travel to you. Ive headed out to various areas Frisco, Denver, etc often so don’t be afraid to reach out. I am also more than happy to sit at your place.

Laura was great with Cooper and very flexible working with us when we had an issue getting back on the agreed upon dates. We will use her again for sure

Laura was very accommodating pretty late notice over Labor Day weekend. Arranged to meet on our way out of town and kept us updated while traveling abroad. Most important of all, Pika seemed very happy during her stay. Thanks Laura!

Information Laura C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about feeding times, bathroom times, and extra requests and habits of the dog. If there’s any behavior concerns or if they get along with other dogs

A typical day

I love walking along the park out here which I can walk to from my place. I often take dogs on adventures, boat rides in summer, hikes in winter. I have plenty of extra doggy vests too! If friendly with other dogs I love taking them to the gorgeous dog park in Avon with views of Beaver Creek.
