Your family, is my family ❤️

Pet care experience

I've been an animal lover since a young girl, a natural with them while starting a small animal rescue and rehabilitation business of my own before the pandemic. I have assisted pet owners while injured or ill and in need of help with their homes and pets. I enjoy walking and caring for dogs and getting to know them. I am excellent with larger breeds and special needs. I'm recently FEARFree Certified, and operating my own private practice in Canine Therapy and Structural Integration. I am all about living things being happy and comfortable - equanimity and sovereignty. I spent two seasons in Kanab, Utah volunteering with Best Friends Animal Sanctuary after closing my private practice in Pennsylvania. I am also working with the ASPCA in their RAFT outreach program. I am exceptional in difficult situations, administering meds, being in charge, and decision-making. I will keep your dog safe at all times. Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to meeting you and your family! *Know I travel and always keep my location UTD!

Laura loves dogs and it shows; dogs love her. She responds to all requests in a very timely manner and she is very easy to work with. I would recommend her services to anyone who is looking for a fantastic dog walker, dog sitter or dog trainer in the Taos area.

Laura was fantastic dog sitting our two dogs. She sent updates everyday and asked questions. We appreciated how calm and knowledgeable she was when she met our dogs. We would absolutely book with her again!

Laura has been great with my dog- very responsive and flexible to arrange with, sends me full updates. Bonus- she also dealt very well with an upset tummy situation :/ I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pup!

Excellent care and service, Laura was able to watch my dog for the day on short notice while I spent the day snowboarding. I got my pup back tail wagging and ready for her doggo bed. Will use her again the next time I’m in town with her.

Information Laura C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dog's rituals, habits, and sleeping patterns overnight. I would like to be aware of how they are with new people entering their home, and if there is ANY aggressive behavior displayed. I would like to be informed of any medications or health issues the dog has. I love larger dogs: Pitbulls, mastiffs, labs, and ridgebacks.

A typical day

I love to walk and run so activity will be there! If your pup/s swim, I can take them to the safe list lakes for a day outing. I carry a kit of toys for dogs in my SUV to play with. At home, I am quiet - listen to music and write. Your dog will enjoy a mellow, safe happy environment here with me. If you would like a private DAY OUTING for your dog, I charge an additional fee for that on top of the DAY BOARDING rate.

I recently lost my beloved boy in November, so I now have a lot of time to care for other animals. I work mostly from home and have a flexible schedule. I travel and always keep my location UTD!
