Safety, trust & environment

I’m reliable, responsive, vigilant, and adaptable to your animal’s needs, routines, and preferences. Extra cuddles? Distance to feel safe? Interactive playing? Training practice? Treats? Let me know! WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: 🐾 Drop-in: I’ll drive to your home to visit pets, perhaps take them outside for a bathroom break or play in the yard, offer affection, serve a meal/meds, clean the litter box, etc. You’ll get a fun, detailed review of our time + LOTS of precious pics! We’ll have a photoshoot, and you’ll have pictorial souvenirs to enjoy. 🐕 Walk: I’ll come to you, leash up, and we can keep a cruising pace for exercise or a slow sniffy stroll for enrichment. They’ll get fresh air + you’ll get great photos of happy doggos with a play-by-play of our time! 🛋️ Boarding: Consistent company, quiet home (just me), fenced yards, cozy sunbaths, fresh air, lovely walks, timely feedings, updates to your liking + priceless pics! I have a basket of indestructible dog toys, and an open invitation to get on the furniture. 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! 🤝 Meet & Greets: I offer free meet + greets at my home for boarding or at your home for housesitting! For other types of requests, I offer intro calls or kindly ask that you submit a booking for a visit to cover gas + time.

Full-time Professional Pet Care 💛

Pet care experience

Howdy and thanks for stopping by! I’ve been loving + caring for 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 shortly followed by my sidekick pup passing. Meaning your critters get my full, devoted attention + energy! This career shift has been incredibly gratifying + rewarding, and I fully respect the responsibility of caring for your loved ones. 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 managed strict schedules, pills, shots, & even an inhaler and worked with 100s of animals with unique personalities, including anxious + reactive pets who need extra patience. 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!

Laura is great with my fur baby. This was an extended stay while I was out of town. Laura sent me regular pictures and updates and always responded promptly when I had questions. My dog settled into her house and seemed happy and relaxed in pictures. I will schedule Laura again when I need boarding services.
