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: Great Pyrenees, Mastiffs, and the sweet Ridgebacks.

A typical day

At home, I am quiet, listen to music and write as well as cook. Your dog will enjoy a mellow, safe happy environment here with me. Out and about - we will be walking and hiking beautiful New Mexico!

Pet care experience

I've been an animal lover since I was a young girl. I started a small animal rehabilitation business before the pandemic and found my way onto Rover during that time. I’ve assisted pet owners who are injured or ill and in need of help with their homes and pets for two + decades. I enjoy walking and caring for dogs and getting to know them. I am excellent with larger breeds and special needs. I am FEARFree Certified, and operate a private practice in Canine Therapy and Structural Integration and currently enrolled at the London College for Animal Osteopathy and Waldrop Animal Somatics. I am all about living things being happy and comfortable. I spent two seasons in Kanab, Utah volunteering with Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, I also work with the ASPCA. I am exceptional in difficult situations, administering meds, being in charge, and decision-making. I will keep your dog or cat safe at all times.

This beautiful and amazing lady made us feel so welcomed and she was a huge part of the success of our trip. Last minute, she helped us finish off our teen's christmas' gift by taking care of our pet Prince while we took him to ski. We didn't have anyone to watch over our pet while we went skiing. She found a solution to our struggles and treated him as his own. We know he's a sweet dog, but he's a barker and he usually does not get along with other dogs. So she accommodated him in a way we all felt ok with leaving him for a few of hours. Her place was lovely and it was cozy and I'm sure our baby was comfy, even when he didn't know her beforehand. She was so patient, knowledgeable and kind and I'm so happy we found someone so special during our trip!

Laura was the perfect sitter for our Kiva. She and Chloe (her pup) made Kiva a part of their pack for a quick drop-in, in a moment’s notice. We are forever grateful for her affectionate care and look forward to future visits!
