Experienced Veterinary Professional

Pet care experience

Aloha! My name is Laura. I have a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine and am a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I have been in the Veterinary field for 21 years doing pet sitting on the side. I offer medication administration (oral & injections), nail trims, basic grooming, baths, subcutaneous fluids, anal gland expressions. I am especially familiar with diabetics, hyperthyroidism, renal failure and other metabolic issues. Along with my Veterinary education my heart goes out to every dog and cat I get the honor to take care of. I also board cats. I love to hike and if your dog is able I will take them! I look forward to meeting your four legged furries soon. I work part-time so I have a lot of time to walk or hike the four legged furries I care for. Also, my job supports a local humane society so I can bring your baby to work if good with other dogs. Telluride is also a very dog friendly town so I can take your dog with me to get coffee or a bite to eat. I will take your dog wherever I go unless its unsafe. My place is 100% cat & dog friendly. I allow your fur baby on my couches and in my bed unless you do not want that. I have a back patio that has grass and woods but I never, ever let any dog off leash. I believe safety is #1!

Laura was the perfect host for our dog! Not only was she flexible in letting us pick her up for hikes each day, but we felt confident that she would provide a loving place for her to come back to each day! Laura clearly loves animals and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone or leave our dog with her again!!

Laura was wonderful! She was so loving and kind to our dogs and welcomed them right into her home. It was so nice to know that our dogs had such a wonderful and loving person to stay with, especially over the holidays. We would absolutely want our dogs to stay with Laura again!

Information Laura D. would like to know about your pet

1. I need to know if you're four legged baby is good with cats. 2. If your dog is ok with other dogs. 3. Does your dog bark? I live in a townhouse so I have neighbors. 4. Does your dog have separation anxiety?

A typical day

I love to walk or hike and live close to a park. I have a large back yard and enjoy throwing a ball to get that energy going! If we are disabled or geriatric I offer physical therapy.
