Pet care experience

Your pups new favorite Auntie!

I've had dogs my entire life and started pet sitting and walking dogs in my neighborhood when I was young, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I grew up with pugs, so I’m very comfortable with small dogs, and now I’m the mom of Charlie, my 85-lb rescue who I’ve had for 6 years — so I’m equally confident with large breeds and strong pups. Even though I haven’t pet-sat professionally in the last few years, I have decades of hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, medications, anxious dogs, and different personality types. I’m gentle, reliable, safety-focused, and I treat every pet like they’re my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I am gentle and love all animals. My pup Charlie is wonderful but has his own high needs so I'm used to all sorts of dogs - even ones with behavioral issues. Love cats too!

Laura cared for my senior dog Ping-Pong, who was blind and had dementia, with such patience and compassion. She understood his special needs, kept him calm, and treated him like her own. She has a natural way with animals! Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their pet!

Laura is fantastic. She is the biggest dog lover I know. She is very attentive and I trust her with everything in me! She is also very active and its obvious that dogs love her energy.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I have experience with senior dogs and blind dogs. I also have experience with dogs with behavioral issues/aggression issues but would like to discuss this with you first.
