I speak dog! (Learning cat as I go)
Pet care experience
I've raised a Black Lab of my own and helped raised countless other dogs. (English Mastiffs, Dachshunds, Retrievers, Pitbulls and other mixed breeds) For several years I was an apprentice to a canine behaviorist who specialized in dogs with anxiety and aggression. I obtained a great deal of knowledge in how to make these special needs dogs feel comfortable. You can be assured your pup is in good hands with me as I understand their needs and treat each animal with the respect they deserve. I understand that every pet is different and they all have different quirks. I'm also a photographer so don't be surprised if you end up with a couple dozen portraits of your pooches! :) (Holiday rates may vary) (Cat care also available: in home overnights, daily visits)
Reviews
Laura was phenomenal with our dog Roxie. We think she is fabulous and will absolutely ask her to help us on our next trip. She is kind, caring and understands dogs. An added bonus is that she is an excellent photographer. She left us a beautiful card with print photos. In addition, she created an online album for us. Many of the shots are artistic and she was able to capture Roxie's character in addition to her good looks. Laura also took great care of the house. For us it is a bit unnerving to go away for 11 days and leave the house unattended. May I also add she was a great communicator throughout the whole process. Lovely lady and person. Highly recommend!
Laura was fantastic, took time to keep me updated with photos and how each visit was going. I would highly recommend Laura for anyone needing help with their fur babies.
Laura came through in a flash, and was great with our very energetic terrier... thank you so much Laura!
Laura was amazing. She made every things so easy and bent over backwards for my scheduling with Spock since I'm a nurse in the Navy and my hours / my location change so much. Highly recommended. Spock loves it there
