I'm a Certified Dog Trainer!

Pet care experience

If you're looking for a mature, responsible, experienced dog lover to walk or train your dog or to take care of your puppy, look no further. I have had canine companions for most of my life and have been a Certified Dog Trainer (LLC) since 2009. I am licensed and insured. Socializing your puppy is critical if you want a well-adjusted dog who will be relaxed and friendly toward people and other dogs. Puppies Only Pet Sitting is an exclusive dog sitting service designed just for puppies. I will offer the opportunity for your puppy to interact with others during the optimal socialization period. If you've just brought home a puppy, then you know they have excess energy to burn and can be nippy and destructive of shoes, remote controls, furniture legs, etc. After a day with Puppies Only Pet Sitting, your puppy will return home socialized and tired—and a tired pup is a good pup! If you work, or work from home and need an absence of distraction, then my pet sitting services are for you. Puppies Only is located in a large, fenced backyard, which has recently undergone a safety inspection. Your puppy will love the grassy hillocks in the sunshine, shade under a large oak tree, wading pools, resting stations, snacks (baby carrots and sweet potato cookies, which I make), and naps. My pet sitting assistant is Bungee, a four-year-old lab mix, who loves puppies and will entertain them all day. Being a certified dog trainer differentiates me from many from other pet sitters/walkers. While caring for or walking your dog, I will reinforce good behaviors and discourage unwanted ones. If you decide you would like a Puppy Manners or Dog Training plan, I will work one up for you at a reduced rate if you engage me as a sitter or walker. Please contact me for more information.

Throughout the four decades that I've known Laura, her love for dogs and her intuition about their well-being have been constants. On countless occasions over many years, I've seen her balance her gift for ensuring that the dogs she cares for have great fun while being vigilant about their safety. There is literally no one on this earth that I would trust more than Laura to care for my dog(s).

Laura G. is every pet’s best friend and advocate. In speaking with Laura and watching her interact with animals, it is easy to conclude that dogs are a central part of her life and have been since she was a child. With decades of experience in raising and caring for pets of her own, especially dogs, she is a miracle worker. Laura can be seen most days walking and playing with her dogs outdoors. I have seen her nurture injured dogs back to perfect health and solve behavioral problems that owners are having with their dogs. She is a superstar in the pet world—the best.

Laura G. is a trusted professional you can rely on. A certified dog trainer for many years, she is a great communicator who instantly connects with animals and has a genuine love and respect for them. She understands that our pets are our family members, and you can be sure she will take care of your pet(s) as if they were her own. She is dependable and reliable -- I recommend Laura on a regular basis to folks who are in need of dog walking services. You know they are in good hands with Laura.

Laura is one of my closest friends here in Clemson. She is a wonderful, kind person who is always there for you. She loves animals, especially her two sweet pups. Beyond her love for dogs, she also has served as a professional dog trainer. So she's very knowledgable about dogs and is definitely comfortable around them. I give my highest recommendation for her as a dog-sitter.

I am happy to walk your dog, rain or shine, in your neighborhood or elsewhere within my range; or visit the local dog park for interactions and play with other dogs. I was born and raised in Clemson and now reside in Pendleton, only three minutes from Patrick Square, so I am intimate with the area.
