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.

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.

Pet care experience
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.

Reviews

Laura has watched our dog twice now and we can’t say enough good things about her! She’s attentive, communicates well, and our pup is always happy and relaxed when we come home. She’s great at communication and sending updates through out the stay. Thanks again Laura :)


Laura was absolutely wonderful with my pug and cat! She was incredibly communicative, kept me updated the whole time, and took amazing care of them both. I felt completely at ease leaving them in her hands and will definitely book her again. Highly recommend!


Recently return from a weekend trip and booked Laura to watch our pups. She is always so fantastic with our dogs. They just love her! It’s so reassuring to have such a caring and reliable person at your home with your fur kids. Highly recommended Laura to anyone seeking a professional, loving caregiver for your pups.
She kept in constant contact with us and our pets loved took to her immediately- thank you!
