Safety, trust & environment

I am very good with animals and have very very rarely met one that wasn’t interested in being my friend. All of my repeat clients are always very happy to see me! 🥰 I am always cautious and respectful of your pets’ space and yours and always will leave your house cleaner than I found it! I go above and beyond to make sure your pets’ routine is disturbed as little as possible while you are gone and I make sure they are given extra affection (if they want it!) I will not hesitate to obtain emergency care (with your permission) if your pet needs it.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, habits or preferences! Please note i can not take dogs that are not comfortable with children or cats!

Pet care experience

We love animals! Energetic young humans and 7 year old (neutered male) pug will play with your dog until we collapse! We have a large unfenced yard with lots of sniffing and exploring space. The yard is regularly treated by Tick Ranger (organic and pet-safe tick spraying). Nobody goes out unleashed ever. Our space for overnight is a large room- crated or uncrated, or are welcome to sleep in the human bed of their choice. Dogs are welcome throughout the first floor during the day. Your dog will feel completely at home at my house or yours! We walk, play and hug. Some Grooming services available- just ask. Unfortunately we can not take pit bulls, pit bull mixes, or border terriers. I am also a caring and experienced cat owner/ caretaker! We have 3 cats of our own (our 17 year old angel Maddy went to the Heaviside Layer June 2021💙) and will care for your cat in your home or ours. Dependable loving care always! And if that wasn’t enough I am also very comfortable feeding/ handling and caring for small reptiles including snakes. We have had our Herman’s tortoise Daisy Arujo for 4 years and love her to death! Available most days- flexible schedule and I keep my Rover calendar updated. About me: 43 year old single mom, works occasionally as a stage manager and at a plant nursery close to my home. We hope to care for your furry family soon! *Please note I do have 2 kids (ages 10 and 6). Both kids are very aware and cautious in how to approach new animals but if your dog is not 100% comfortable with kids we are not the sitters for you. Thank you! I build my schedule around my clients. We like to keep a predictable routine for our guests. I am home most of the day most days! We have a partially fenced yard and all guests stay leashed and well supervised while out! Our pug Winston loves to play and snuggle with our guests.

Laura was amazing! From the day we went over to meet her and see her home we knew our dog Rooster was in good hands. Throughout our time away Laura kept us updated with pics and videos showing how much fun he was having with the other dogs in her care. This meant so much! He came home happy, healthy, and I’m sure missing the fun he was having all day at Laura’s. We will definitely be using her for all future trips.
