Pet care experience

Stay at home Mom/Dog loving family

Hi! I’m here to make being away from your pet feel a little easier. I know how important updates, communication, and consistency are when trusting someone with your furry family member. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while your pet is in my care. I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s personality and routine — whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle time, slow introductions, medication support, or simply keeping things calm and predictable. I send regular photo updates and communicate clearly so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every client relationship like it matters long term, not just for one booking. I've had dogs all my life and am currently a dog mom to my sweet mixed breed. She's been with us for almost 2 years and is a joy to our household. We do not have any other animals, but I did grow up in a veritable zoo (Rabbits, birds, dogs, cats, goats, fish and chickens)! I'm happy to learn and adapt to your needs. I'm a stay at home mom and so my availability is quite flexible. I only ask that your furry baby is friendly with other kids and dogs.

My usually anxious poodle Pete was entirely comfortable and happy with Laura and her family. Laura sent frequent photos, reassuring me that Pete was doing fine. Very fine experience and I will book with Laura again when the need arises.

We left our sweet dog in good hands when we chose Laura C. We are new in town and really needed to find a caring and safe home for when we had to travel without Layla. Laura was happy to allow a meet and greet with her family. From that first meeting Laura wanted to know how to best make Layla feel at home. She provided daily updates and we communicated very well. We are happy we have found our new sitter. Highly recommend.

Laura took great care of my pup! She was communicative and shared helpful updates/photos. Her dog Maple is a wonderful playmate! Our dog looks forward to returning to Laura’s house again soon.

Laura took excellent of Gemma while I was out of town and sent daily reviews with pics and videos. I felt very confident she was well cared for and she dealt with Gemma’s fear of storms very well. I can’t recommend her highly enough! Spoil your fur baby and let them stay with Laura!

Laura was amazing with my anxious dog! She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable. My dog had a blast the whole time and did not want to leave!

Schedule

Your furry baby will be treated as one of my own. Each dog will join in on family playtime, walks and of course lots of scritch scratches! I'm currently a stay at home mom with both kids in school. I'll have plenty of time to care for your furry baby. I have a dog of my own, so if we are boarding or doing doggy day care, your pup will have a doggy playmate!

Safety, trust & environment

Every dog is different, so I’d love to hear about your dog’s quirks, routines, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I do my best to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I have a fully fenced in back yard and a dog to keep your pup company. I also have elementary aged kids in my home who are very familiar in how to handle dogs. Our dog is fully vaccinated. Our yard is free of pesticides and chemicals.

Pets

A typical day

What does your dog love? That's what we'll do! Fetch, walks, brushing, practicing tricks or just snuggles. I have a lab mix at home who loves to play. She'll be happy to have a partner in her zoomies!

Your dog’s safety matters to me, so I require all pups to be current on vaccinations and well-socialized with both children and other dogs. Safety is very important to us for both our family and yours! Please be ready to provide vaccination and rabies shots records. We will also have a waiver available for pet parents to sign.
