Dog hugs are the best hugs!

Pet care experience

Introduction: My pets are my family and I couldn't imagine my life without them. Ensuring they are loved and well cared for when I am away is extremely important to me. I want to know that whomever I entrust with my family will care for them like their own. This is what motivated me to explore a career providing caring for dogs, because I care for each pet like my own when their "person" is away. My Role: As a pet care provider, my job is to act as an extension of the pet owner when the owner is away. I understand the importance of following a pet's routine /care plan as well as the pet owners wishes. After all, you know your pet best! My Philosophy: Every animal has a unique personality, and getting to know and understand them is critical to ensuring they are happy and feel secure. Your pet should feel comfortable with their care provider, and so should you! I encourage pet owners to ask EVERY question they have and to provided detailed care instructions to ensure successful walks and stays! This is more than a "job" to me. It is my passion. Pets and clients come first. Please notify me of any aggressive tendencies or any triggers that can cause your pet anxiety. A little About Me: Moved to Bend the Summer of 2023 and am absolutely loving everything about it. I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, biking and kayaking with my husband and dog, Murphy! We also have kitty cat named, Millie, who rules the house. lol.

Laura is a true animal lover. Dogs naturally feel comfortable and happy in her presence. My two doggies LOVE when she comes to stay to watch them. They get plenty of hugs and exercise in her care and, when I come back home, I can tell they have been extremely happy and content while I was away. She is reliable, always communicates and has been available for me last minute, which I really appreciate. She has also been great with my cat as well! I honestly feel so fortunate to have such a great sitter available to me when I need one. If you consider your dog/cat your "baby", you won't be disappointed with her service. I highly recommend Laura.

Meet & Greets prior to services is important to ensuring a positive experience for your pets. The more information I have regarding their preferences and personality type, the more customized the experience can be. I also like to familiarize myself with your dogs harness/leash/collar, and any other accommodations they may need to help ensure a positive experience during walks and drop-ins.

Information Laura F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I have experience with dogs with anxiety, and also administering medication.

A typical day

Dogs need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. On walks, we like to explore parks, trails, and also walk around neighborhoods. Every dog is different. Let me know your dog's preferences and I will be sure to create a fun exercise experience.
