I love whiskers, wings and scales!

Pet care experience

I've been a pet parent to three dogs and two cats for more than nine years. I have experience kenneling dogs and cats for over fifteen years as well as caring for some farm animals (goats, chickens, horses, sheep, llamas) I kept a turtle for several years as well as several types of exotic birds. I am able to make daily visits as well as provide walks, feedings, administer medication and provide updates as needed while animals are in my care and am willing to do light housework as designated as well as pick up or drop off animals to and from boarding. I don't mind giving them a bath as well. I love all animals and am able to meet in person if required.

Our dogs have stayed with Laura and her family a few times and they always love it! Laura is always excited to have them come stay and I know our two boys love hanging out there. Whenever we need a dog sitter, Laura is the first person I contact!

Laura was awesome. Super attentive and sent us pictures along the way. Not sure our pup wanted to come back after a weekend with her :) Definitely recommend and will use again!

Laura was great with Pebbles. Pebbles was scared being away from home and with noise from fireworks on NYE and Laura wrapped her up in a blanket like a thunder shirt to help ease her anexity and was really great understanding her needs and adjusting to them. Will definitely sit with her again.

Information Laura G. would like to know about your pet

Just the basics! Any medications needed or behavior you don't allow in your home wont be allowed in mine. Food quantities and allergies! They're dogs, they usually tell me everything I need to know within a few visits and they already know their routines so I'm good at reading their body language.

A typical day

We walk everyday at my house! We live close to a small park that is gated and take our dogs there to play regularly. So if your dog needs a little more exercise, they're in for a fun treat! On the flip side, I also have a little dog whom is a couch potato and loves to cuddle so cuddle monkeys are welcome too! We play ball in the morning or have quality yard time before it gets too hot. Molly & Jasper are both extremely well socialized and know how to act with company. Diesel loves to run and play tag when we have company also. They love to play, share pillows, window watch and lounge around on their beds or kennels
