I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who may need extra patience and medical support. I’m comfortable administering medication and paying close attention to pets with special needs. While in nursing school, I turned my love for animals into side work, walking dogs and providing overnight care for either dogs or cats. I treat every animal like my own, knowing how much they truly mean to the people who love them.

Safety, trust & environment

Pet care fits into my routine very naturally. I’m a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Your pet would have my full focus and lots of love. *For pups who aren’t used to stairs or have mobility concerns, we have a home elevator available so they won’t need to use any stairs.

Information Laura G. would like to know about your pet

Before a stay, I like to learn what daily life looks like for your pet so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. Knowing their usual routine, personality, and preferences helps them settle in and feel safe. *Please let me know about any medical needs, medications, allergies, or feeding schedules, along with the little things that matter to them—favorite toys, fears, or anything that might stress them on walks or in new situations. I also appreciate knowing how they usually sleep whether that’s in a bed, on the floor, in a crate, or somewhere specific. Every pet is different. Some are outgoing and playful, others are shy or need extra reassurance. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can care for them :)

A typical day

A typical day is built around each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home. I follow all feeding instructions exactly, whether meals are given once a day, twice a day, or at specific times. I have a fully fenced yard and live on a quiet cul-de-sac, which allows for safe, low-stress outdoor time. When dogs are outside, I am always with them and they are never left alone. If a dog needs to remain on a leash, I strictly follow that instruction at all times, including in the yard and on walks. Pets are always cared for in a calm, safe, and attentive environment.

Compassionate Care for All Pets

Pet care experience

What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that animals have always been a part of my life, not just something I care for occasionally. Growing up in a big family, our home was always FULL of pets...dogs, cats, rabbits, 2 birds, fish, even an iguana—and I learned from an early age how to nurture and care for animals of all kinds. My mom owned a horse, and my dad’s one dog soon turned into three—then he brought home a rescue. Years later my mom brought home a litter of abandoned kittens, so compassion for animals has been a part of my life from the very beginning..

Laura is great! My dog was happy to see her again. I appreciate the photos and updates and could tell Ella had been well taken care of while I was away.

Laura is awesome! My dog loves the fenced in backyard. Comforting to know my dog is loved while we are away.
