I work from home and spend most of my time here, so caring for pets naturally fits into my daily routine. For dogs, you can expect two walks each day, one in the morning and one in the evening, plus plenty of companionship in between. I’m always nearby to provide regular check-ins, playtime, and affection throughout the day, making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy.

Safety, trust & environment

At my home, dogs have easy access to a large fenced backyard through the doggy door, making it a safe and fun space. I balance activity and rest to fit each dog’s needs, whether that’s extra play for active pups or cozy lounging for seniors. Since I don’t have any pets of my own, your dog will have my full attention. For added peace of mind, I attach Apple tracking devices to collars to help keep everything running smoothly and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I also send plenty of photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Information Laura D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog’s energy level, potty habits, barking tendencies, and any anxiety or stress triggers. I’d also love to hear their favorite activities and any food restrictions or special feeding instructions.

A typical day

A typical day might include fetch, hide and seek, snuggles on the couch (if your dog is cuddly), and walks around the neighborhood to check out all the new smells. Many of the neighbors are avid gardeners, so there’s always something interesting to explore. Your dog will be treated like part of the family. They’re welcome on the furniture and can starfish in my bed at night if that’s where they feel most comfortable. :)

Pet care experience

Hi there! I live in a quiet neighborhood with a cozy home and a fenced backyard with a doggy door. I work from home running my own online business, so your furry child will have plenty of company and attention. I take one family at a time to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. For added peace of mind, I attach Apple tracking devices to collars, giving an extra layer of protection that keeps everything running smoothly and stress-free. I’m attentive and reliable and happy to send plenty of photo updates so you can stay connected throughout their stay. Bring on the snuggles, walks, and playtime. I can’t wait to meet them!

Laura took such good care of our sweet puppy! We had great communication throughout our trip and although we were anxious about leaving our pup with someone, she went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was well taken care of and we were updated. Would highly recommend!

Laura was great! This was my first time leaving my two dogs with Laura and I’m always very anxious to leave them with someone new. Laura was very understanding and sent cute photos whenever I asked. My boys were always snuggling and seemed relaxed and happy during their stay. Thanks Laura!

Laura is amazing! She took such great care of my guy. It’s always tough leaving your fur babies, and she made it so easy.
