Animal Lover/Dog Owner

Pet care experience

I have had pets my entire life. I’ve got a pup myself, Ollie, he’s great with other dogs and may need to tag along for any overnight stays but can def stay at home and snooze for shorter visits. My family had a dog for seventeen years, since she was first born and I took care of her until her last days. I am familiar with caring for animals of all types and sizes. I am available for overnight stays, walks or drop by visits. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there are any questions you may have about my qualifications or relevant skills in animal care and dog sitting. I work from home and have flexible working hours during the day. My work does not require a lot of overnight or long distance travel. I also dog sit for my sister's puppy on a regular basis and have a wide range of experience with all dog ages. I am also a new pandemic puppy owner , Ollie, who is less than a year old and super friendly and good with all animals. He is also house trained and will do anything for a snack.

Laura was great! She was so patient with our cat, who took a little time to warm up to her. She sent updates and plenty of photos after every visit. We will definitely ask Laura to watch Fitzgerald again!
