Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional, experienced, caring.
I have been caring for and about pets since as long as I can remember. I have almost 10 years of professional pet sitting and doggie daycare experience under my belt as well almost 10 years of teaching groups classes as well as private lessons for dog training. Prior to my professional, career orientated, experience I have been watching pets for friends and family since i was 17. I was actively involved in the animal rescue world for 10 years starting when I was 18. Your pet will be treated as one of my own and will integrate into my household with my family right alongside my pets. I will adhere to your household rules. If your pets are allowed on furniture, not a problem my couch is basically an oversized bed for my own pets. If you prefer your pets not be on furniture I will discourage that with them to not send them home with any bad habits. I have had many repeat clients over the years and have loved them all as I do my own pets.

Ratings and reviews
My dog had a great vacation week with Laura! She loved playing with the other dogs, and I appreciated the consistent communication.
The boys had a great vacation with Laura! As always, great communication and flexibility is appreciated!
We always know our Rosie’s in a safe, loving home when she stays with Laura. Thanks for taking good care of her!
Laura is terrific! We left our mini doodle with Laura for an overnight trip out of town, and she did great. Laura dialed right in to Rosie's personality and got her to eat, which never happens when we leave her at a kennel. We'll definitely book again.
My pup loves daycare with Laura and I have peace of mind that she is cared for while I am at work. She’s been great at keeping me updated if anything occurs during the day. I would absolutely recommend her for your doggy needs.
Laura is great! Would absolutely re-book if I ever need a caring sitter for Obi.

Schedule
I have recently resigned from my employment that took me away from the home for longer hours so that I may focus on pet sitting at a full time level. I am home full time now to allow caring for your baby to be my main priority. My repeat clients have become an extention of my own family. I love and care for all the pets as if they are my own. I can often times accomodate last minute requests for REPEAT clients as a meet and greet will no longer be needed. Meet and greet is a mandatory requirement for any new clients. I do request that drop off and pick up be completed no later than 8 pm, 7 pm being preferred latest time. Daycare is only offered from the hours of 7am to 6 pm. Any booking requests past 6 pm should and will be considered boarding. The latest accepted drop off or pick up times is 7 pm. Thank you for your understanding.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My yard is fully fenced to allow for lots of outdoor playtime (weather permitting) as well as frequent potty breaks. While your furbaby is with me they will be able to play with my 2 friendly and respectful dogs. During the warm weather months your pup can enjoy the kiddie pool or learn some new tricks with agility equipment. Pets are never left unsupervised while outside and will be crated for their safety when necessary. I remove collars to avoid any risks either in a crate or during play. I REQUIRE all dogs be current and on flea and tick prevention as well as up to date on rabies and dhpp vaccines with proof provided. I HIGHLY encourage the bordetella and leptospirosis vaccines but they are not a requirement. Your dog's safety and happiness is my number 1 priority.
Pets
A typical day
I have a fenced yard with agility equipment. I have plenty of food puzzles, kongs, slow feeders and other brain work stimulating equipment. Regardless of weather your dog will be kept engaged and given breaks when needed. When weather permits we will have as much outside time as possible.
