Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Laura, residing in First Hill, Seattle, in a pet-friendly apartment. While I don't have any pets of my own, I have a deep affection for dogs and grew up with them, making me incredibly comfortable around them. As a Crossfit enthusiast, I possess the strength to take your spirited dog on a walk. Although I occasionally foster dogs, it's not a certainty that there will be one in the apartment. I always have time to provide an extra scratch or hug for your dog. I'm excited about the opportunity to meet both you and your canine companion!

Laura was fantastic in all the ways that mattered to us. We have a young puppy and it didn't cause Laura any pause. She was incredibly communicative, responding within minutes of any questions and very flexible as our travel plans changed and our puppy woke up with a tummy ache. I hope we get to have our pup spend some time with Laura in the future!

Laura was tremendous! She took photos and sent them during the day. She gave me great directions and it was easy to drop my dog off. I would highly recommend her!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I can accommodate multiple dogs from the same household. While I generally prefer to crate your dog when I'm away (you provide the crate), exceptionally well-behaved dogs may have the option to be left uncrated. During the night, dogs can either be crated or are welcome to sleep in the bedroom with me (for small dogs, the floor is preferred over the bed, as my bed is lifted for extra storage space). For pickup and drop-off services, please note that there will be a $0.70 per mile rate increase for one-way distances beyond 15 miles from the First Hill neighborhood in Seattle. The charge is only applied for the journey from your home to mine at the beginning of the boarding and from my place to your home when your pup returns. To illustrate: if it's 25 miles one way, the total charge would be $30 base rate plus $14 for the additional 20 miles.

Information Laura F. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog chew on things? Are they able to let me know when it is time for a potty break? Would they like to go places with me, such as to my gym? Does your dog bark at lot? Do they have any food sensitivities?

A typical day

After work, I attend CrossFit, and during the weekends, I enjoy exploring restaurants, breweries/bars, attending concerts, going on hikes, and more to make the most of Seattle. Given the city's dog-friendly nature, I'm happy to bring your pup along on my adventures, provided they are comfortable with it!

I work from home, with occasional visits to the office, allowing me the flexibility to take your dog for walks as needed. During evenings and weekends, I'm usually out and about, either at the gym or socializing with friends. Seattle offers fantastic options for dog-friendly activities, so your pup is more than welcome to join in the fun!
