Pet care experience

I have genuine experience and a love for dogs. I have been around dogs my whole life and taken care of them for years. I've worked with all types of dog backgrounds and personalities and make sure every pup gets custom care! I will send regular updates, photos, and be open to discussing any concerns you might have. I think every dog I meet is an angel no matter what.

Laura has been incredible!! When I went back to work in office I was so worried about our pets being home and she’s taken amazing care of our dog each week with walks and now our kitty when we go out of town. Super responsible and genuinely loves animals. Highly recommend!

Laura and her partner did an amazing job with my English bulldog bones ! They made sure to send daily updates of how he was doing and did a great job at following his kinda complicated eating/medicine schedule! Bulldogs are needy lil guys and he looked more than comfortable with them for about 6 days that went out of town! Would highly recommend her she is the best !

Laura and her husband were amazing with my dog. Laura sent me regular updates, and even sent me an update just before she knew I was going to be unavailable. They followed my instructions well. My dog has special needs and medication and all of that went off without a hitch. Laura was accommodating with what my dog neded. My dog is generally wary of strangers, and often with men more so, but she was very relaxed with Laura, and fast friends with her husband. They have been my favorite sitters so far. I will definitely book them again in the future.
