Pet care experience
Your Pet's Family While You're Away
Conveniently located right off of 580, near the 3 crosses: What Sets Me Apart: I offer more than standard pet care—I provide expert, family-level dedication to every animal. My difference is rooted in a lifetime of total immersion with pets. Medical Knowledge and Structure: Unlike typical sitters, I bring hands-on experience with pet medicine and complex schedules. This means I'm fully capable of managing medication protocols, following detailed feeding instructions, and monitoring your pet's health with a critical, informed eye. Behavior and Training Skills: I don't just walk dogs; I reinforce good habits. I have years of experience helping dogs with command reinforcement and leash manners, ensuring your pet comes home with their skills intact, if not improved. My expertise extends to cats as well, ensuring they receive the specialized care and attention they need. Unmatched Emotional Commitment: To me, your pets are my "furbabies"—I care for them as if I birthed them. This is the difference: they receive genuine, unconditional love, respect, and constant engagement. They won't just be supervised; they'll be kept happy and busy with walks, and active playtime until you return. With endless couch snuggling available :) I ensure your pets are kept mentally and physically engaged, receiving the same love and commitment they get from you.

Ratings and reviews
She kept in constant contact with us and our pets loved took to her immediately- thank you!
Could not have asked for a better doggie/house sitter. Great communication, both dogs loved her. I received many texts & pictures. She took great care of my 2 spoiled dogs, and my home. I did not worry, and that's the best part, no?
Laura is amazing! Both of my pets adored her from their first meet and greet. Laura was on time, responsive, and send frequent updates while we were away. She left our house spotless and to my surprise even did some chores as a way to go above and beyond. This was my first time booking Laura and am going to feel very comfortable when I have her back for 2.5 weeks in a couple months. I highly recommend Laura for all of your pet and home sitting needs!
My husband and I don’t leave our dog at night which makes date night difficult. Laura met Luna and was the perfect solution. Laura and Luna became fast friends. Luna even gave Laura the husky howl of approval.
Laura is the best & my girl, Millie loves her. Millie is a 105lb ball of energy, for those parents who have bigger babies. Will definitely rebook Laura in the future. Thank you again 💛
Laura stayed over with Ruby and Dex for a week while we were out of town. She did an absolutely amazing job and the dogs really warmed up to her. Dex has bad separation anxiety but Laura made him feel super comfortable. She stayed overnight with the pups, gave them their meals and medicines, and took them for adventures. She also did so much for us around the house, cleaning, vacuuming, and she even washed our towels! It was a relief knowing the dogs were well loved while we were gone, we will definitely book Laura again the next time we go out of town!

Schedule
I work remotely with a very flexible schedule. Pets have always been in my life and I know how hard it is to find someone who will take the same care of your pet when you are away. With morning and evening walks and as much cuddle/play time as they want, I will keep your baby stimulated while you are away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My yard is secured with a privacy fence. I have a very walkable neighborhood with a park nearby. I have one puppy and two cats in my home. My puppy weighs about 9lbs. My cats are very dog friendly. I allow the animals on the couch and bed but will happily follow the rules you have established for your pet. I am CPR and First Aid certified. When I house sit I bring my own * Sleeping bag and pillow * Washcloth and towel * Food My motto is to leave a home better than I found it and to leave no trace. I will run the vacuum and empty the garbage before I leave. I want you to be stress free upon your arrival :)

A typical day
A typical day of fun starts off with an invigorating morning walk. We enjoy heartfelt conversations, plenty of energetic yard playtime, and end the day with lots of cozy cuddling on the couch.
