Urban Farm Family Loves Pets!

Pet care experience

Welcome to my profile! My childhood was spent outside St. Louis with pets of all kinds such as dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, horses, donkeys, and frogs. My love of all creatures is encompassing as I even brought my son’s pet crickets on a family vacation. This is a happy, loving, fun, and active family. We live in a house that’s meant to be lived in meaning —some dogs bark at all the delivery trucks, some are incredible shedders, some are messy eaters. All of this is understood and accepted. While your dog is a guest, I seek to include your dog into all aspects of our family life. With owner permission and if your dog would enjoy such activities, I’m happy to take your dog on hikes in Forest Park, to wait at the bus stop, go on car rides, watch sports games and just cuddle on the couch watching a movie. My earlier career was in a completely different field. Now I am a stay at home mom whose last child is in kindergarten and I can focus on my dream career as a dog sitter. My usual schedule includes two walks after breakfast and dinner, ample playtime inside a fenced yard, and lots of cuddling and attention. I spend a lot of time outside with gardening projects so your dog will have plenty of outdoor time.

Laura and her family were wonderful baby sitters for our fur baby. Our fur baby got to go on gentle outings with the family and had the continuous human-dog social interaction that she craves. We also appreciated the regular flow of photos that showed us that our friend was having a nice time with Laura and her family. Thank you again.

Laura treated our dog better than we do. She gave us daily updates, watched him closely, and tended to all his doggy needs. Our dog is a mastiff and very sensitive, but Laura and her family really loved on him and made me feel at peace while on vacation. I will only trust Thor with Laura and her family.

Laura took excellent care of our senior dog. She welcomed him into their family and was very attentive to how he was doing. She kept us up to date with messages and pictures. She fully deserves the five stars we gave her!

Laura sent wonderful updates and pics. I could tell Daisy was enjoying her “vacation” as much as we were.

For senior or more sedentary dogs, I like to make them a bed in a quiet corner of the house where they can watch the activity and join in if they wish. I am mindful that some dogs prefer a quieter, less active lifestyle. Your dog’s emotional well-being and exercise requirements are my first priority. With a few set commitments, I’m able to modify my daily activities to meet your dog’s needs.
