Certified Trainer, Loving Sitter

Hi! I’m a recently certified positive reinforcement trainer with more than 20 years of pet sitting and walking experience. I have walked and sat for dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers. My family owned dogs when I was a child, and today my household has a 15-year-old Yorkie. I'm also an experienced cat owner!

Safety, trust & environment

As a guest in your pet's home, I care for them based on your instructions because you know them best! When needed, especially on walks, I apply the behavioral knowledge I have to keep them safe.

Laura did a great job with my old dog. She’s was very attuned to him which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend her.
