Your pet and home will be loved.

Pet care experience

My family and I have had dogs (cats, reptiles, rodents, you name it) my whole life - My husband and I have a yellow lab named Rocco, a golden retriever named Beau, and a boxer mix named Duke. In June 2021 we added a little island dog named DJ to complete our pack. (they'll all happily stay at home with dad while I sit for you) My pets are very important to me and I know they'll be happiest staying at home if we are away. This is why I prefer to sit at your home where your dogs often feel most comfortable. I want you to feel perfectly at ease leaving your dog and home in my hands. I know my friends have appreciated me not only caring for their dog but collecting mail, watering flowers, and doing some light cleaning so they can just come home from their trip and fall right back into their routine. I have a very calm and gentle nature and can handle any pup out there with patience and consistency. I will respect your home, your rules and your dogs routine so they don't get confused or stressed. What is most important to me is that you and your fur baby are both happy and worry free while you are apart. I live in South Hadley and work remotely so anywhere within 40 minutes of South Hadley works best.

Laura is a wonderful pet sitter! Our dogs were well taken care of, and she followed our care directions to the letter. They were happy and healthy upon our return. And our house looked just as good, or maybe even better than when we left! We greatly appreciate the care and attention Laura gave our dogs. A+++++

Laura is the best sitter ever! She takes such good care of all my pets of various special needs that they probably do not notice I have gone away. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Laura as their pet sitter will be spoiled and want no other!

Information Laura D. would like to know about your pet

Please make sure you give me every detail about your dog so our time together can be at its best. Do thunderstorms scare him/her? Are they allowed on furniture (they'll try to get away with it). Do they have any allergies or anxiety? Any unusual behaviors or quirks that he/she might have? Medications? Special diet? You can never be too detailed in your description.

A typical day

Over the years, I've turned into the go-to dog sitter at work and amongst all of my friends and family. I will keep your pets on their normal schedule and continue whatever activities are normal for your pets.

I am fortunate enough to work remotely so as long as I have internet access, I can work from your home. Animals are my passion. Providing families peace of mind while they’re away is very important to me.
