I work 9 to 5 during the week, but I’m more than happy to take my lunch break to let your pup out for some fresh air and playtime. On weekends, I'm mostly home, aside from the occasional errand, making me well-equipped to provide attentive care. My passion for dogs means I always strive to ensure they have a fantastic time while their owners are away. Your furry friend will feel loved and entertained with me!

Information Laura G. would like to know about your pet

Before watching someone’s dog, it’s essential to gather some key information to ensure a smooth stay. Here’s what I need to know: Routine: What is their daily schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime? Diet: What food do they eat, and are there any allergies or dietary restrictions? Behavior: How do they interact with other dogs and people? Any quirks or fears to be aware of? Training: Are there specific commands they respond to? Are they crate-trained? Health: Are there any medical issues or medications I need to administer? Emergency Contacts: Who should I contact in case of an emergency, and what vet should I use? Favorite Activities: What do they love to do? Any favorite toys or games? House Rules: Are there any rules about furniture, areas off-limits, or specific routines I should follow? Gathering this information helps ensure that your dog feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away!

A typical day

While dog sitting, I’m all about making it a tail-wagging good time! We can enjoy adventurous walks through the neighborhood, play fetch in the yard, or even have fun exploring new trails. I love engaging in interactive games to keep their minds sharp, and we can set up a cozy movie night with some dog-friendly treats! Whether it’s a playdate with Eugene or some quality snuggle time, I’ll ensure your dog has a blast and feels right at home!

Fur-get a Kennel: Dog Bliss Awaits!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a devoted dog sitter with a heart as big as my backyard, where I spend sunny days playing and exploring with my own lovable pup, Eugene. At 7 years young, Eugene is a friendly furball who's always ready to make new friends—he believes every dog deserves a paw-some playdate! I’ve been dog-sitting for family and friends for years, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from tiny terriers to gentle giants. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a game of fetch in the yard, I tailor each visit to meet your pup's unique needs. I’m also experienced in administering medication, so you can rest easy knowing your furry family member is in great hands. With a spacious home and a warm, loving environment, I’m dedicated to ensuring your dog feels right at home. Let’s make tails wag and create some unforgettable memories together!

Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!
