Pet care experience

Care for your 4 legged friends

If you are one of my routine customers, if a day is blocked off, please message me about the dates in question as I will be glad to work you and your pup in- i will always work my loyal customers and friends in! I am an animal lover looking to help you when you can’t take your fur babies with you. I have had animals around me ever since I was born, cats and dogs! I currently have one Golden Retriever and 3 cats of my own, but frequently dog sit for my sisters pit bull and cat. I have experience with puppies and kittens as well so I will gladly accept animals young and old alike! Pets are allowed to roam free during the day and night, only kenneling if that is something you wish for me to do ( please bring your own kennel if this is the case). Pets are allowed on the furniture in my house and can cuddle up after a long day of play. I will gladly take them for walks 2-3 times a day and to the dog park if they are registered. I have a big yard, that is unfenced, but dogs will never be left alone and I have long leads if they need to be supervised. Any special tricks or things you are training? I will gladly enforce those for you to continue their training. Tell me their likes, dislikes and I will pamper them while you relax knowing your pet is in good hands! I am extremely flexible on dates and times, if you need to change anything, just reach out and we will gladly work something out! Flight gets delayed, changed? Working late, got a late start? Not a problem! I treat all pets I care for like they are my own fur babies. They will get love and affection dozens of times during the day. Shadow loves meeting new friends and cannot wait to make more!!

Laura did a great job watching our doodle! Communication was fantastic and it was obvious that our dog was well cared for. I will definitely book with Laura again.

As always, Laura took super great care of our senior kitty, Miss Sophie. Sophie loves her and Sophie is picky!

Maui had a wonderful time at Laura’s. He loved playing with shadow and the cats. We will be using her services again in the future.

Schedule

I work full time as a registered nurse, but I work from home 3-4 days a week, so your animal will be with me 24:7 for 5-6 days out of the week. The other days I do work at a clinic, but your pet will be checked on every 4 hours (or if more frequently is needed, that can be arranged) and let outside to use the bathroom.

Safety, trust & environment

I have one fur baby who is extremely friendly and will keep your pet company during the day. I have an unfenced yard, but pets will never be left alone outside, only under direct supervision. Your pet will be treated like family while here. Dog can be easily kenneled if you prefer based on home.

Pets

A typical day

Typical day varies depending on the energy of the dog and if I’m working from home or at the office. If I’m home during the day, your pup will be free to roam the house and they will have plenty of toys to play with. On my lunch break, they can go for a walk and the at the end of the day, they will also go for a walk if they like. Lots of cuddles and play time!
