Responsible Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

Hello! Have an upcoming weekend trip or event? Working late? I'm available for walks, pet visits, and overnight boarding to give you the peace of mind that your pet(s) are comfortable and taken care of. I love animals and would love to help you take care of yours. Over the years I frequently pet sat for friends and family and grew up with dogs and cats. I'm familiar with keeping routines and commands consistent and am very patient with animals. My house is on a calm and safe street that ends in a cul-de-sac. There's also tons of areas close by for long walks and places to play freely. I currently work for Fairfax County Public Schools and am licensed with the Virginia Department of Education, so you can be confident in my professionalism and the safety of your animals as I've had to pass extensive background checks for my job.

Laura was the best dog sitter ever! Darby was well taken care of and Laura and her family made her feel like she was part of the family. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks!

Laura was a fantastic sitter for our dog Hunter. We are rarely away from Hunter and this was only the second time he wasn't at home. She put my mind at ease with frequent updates and pictures. It was clear that he was in great hands and cared for. I would definitely recommend Laura!

Information Laura E. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know about your dog's personality and temperament. Calm, shy, social, full of energy? How well does your dog do on a leash and around other animals? Is your dog on a specific schedule for walks, bathroom, feedings, etc.? Are there certain command words or phrases that they are familiar with?

A typical day

I am an active person and love to be outside, so good walks in the neighborhood are an absolute promise. I also can throw a mean Frisbee or ball, so playing catch in the dog park or fenced backyard is also something that your dog and I can definitely do together. I also believe in giving lots of love- so lots of pets, praise, and an appropriate amount of treats will happen also.
