Dedicated Dog Lover

Pet care experience

Hi there! I've grown up around dogs my whole life and I love all types and breeds: big, small, active, or cuddly. I’ve been dog sitting for over 5 years and have met so many wonderful clients (both canine and human!). I am a wildlife biologist so I am very well versed and interested in animal behavior and can help reinforce any training you’d like. My main options are dog walking, dog boarding, drop in visits. I am occasionally available for house sitting as well but due to my own pets, it’s hard for me to stay overnight unless the proximity is close (although I’m happy to check in several times during a day or discuss other flexible arrangements). I love walking, running, and hiking and would love to get your pup some exercise- either around town or on some of the local trails.

Laura was awesome with Reggie! He was so comfortable and allowed us to enjoy our holiday knowing he was well taken care of. We plan to continue to work with Laura for as long as we can!

I don't know where to begin... Laura is the epitome of "above and beyond." She and my dog, Cleo, have formed a bond that sometimes makes me jealous! Laura is extremely communicative, dependable, meticulous, doting, and all of the other attributes (I'm sure I'm forgetting some) that one hopes for when putting your furry friend in another person's hands. My fingers are always crossed that she's available when I'm seeking a sitter.

Laura took great care of our two cats and sent us detailed daily updates. Would definitely have her watch them again!

Laura is a great dog walker. She was very accommodating to set something up when we were out of town. She always posted a little note about the walk and sent cute photos. We will definitely have her help us in the future with dog walking and house sitting needs. Highly recommend!

Information Laura D. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what your dogs daily schedule looks like and what type of interaction from me would be best for them! Do they want to hang on the couch? Or go for tons of walks? Do they have any triggers? Leash or food aggression?

A typical day

I know not all dogs are up for it but I love to run and hike and would be thrilled to help tire out your pooch. I love getting out onto the local trails in the area! If your pup is more low-key I love to walk around town and play fetch as well.
