Loving Care When You Can’t Be There

I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our home was always full of pets, from dogs and cats to bunnies, chickens, birds, and even fish. That lifelong experience taught me to be attentive, patient, and compassionate with animals of all kinds. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and animals who need a little extra TLC. In my professional life, I’m deeply rooted in caregiving and responsibility, which naturally extends to how I care for animals. My favorite thing is heading out for long hikes in the mountains with my dogs—it’s where we’re all happiest! I treat every pet like my own—with love, respect, and plenty of exercise and snuggles (depending on their vibe).

Laura has always had a natural connection with animals. She’s patient, caring, and the kind of person who notices the little things that help pets feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, going for walks, giving extra attention, or just spending time with them, she genuinely enjoys being around animals. I would trust her with any of my own pets without hesitation, and I know she will treat every pet in her care like part of the family.

Schedule

Pet care is already a huge part of my daily life and routine. I’m currently on sabbatical from my work as a full time pediatrician, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to animals. After losing my two high-needs senior dogs in February 2026, I’ve really missed the joy, walks, cuddles, and companionship that come with caring for pets. I’m dependable, attentive, calm under pressure, and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, as well as a dog door for easy access in and out. I also have a sweet senior dog who is calm, friendly, and great at helping new pets feel at ease. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I make sure their environment is safe, low stress, and full of affection. I follow your instructions closely to keep routines consistent and your pet feeling secure while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with dogs includes morning walks, lots of sniff breaks, playtime, belly rubs, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I love getting outside for neighborhood walks, hikes, park visits, and cozy downtime afterward. I’m also happy to match each dog’s energy level, whether that means fetch and adventure or slow strolls and couch cuddles for senior pups.

Laura can host up to 1 pet per night
As a pediatrician, I’m very comfortable caring for high needs, medically complex, senior, or fragile pets. I’m calm, attentive, detail oriented, and experienced with medications, special routines, mobility issues, and recognizing when something seems “off.” I know how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for a beloved family member.
