Pet care experience
Communicative & Caring 🐕 🐈⬛
I love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, which makes the questions “what is your favorite kind of dog?” and “are you a dog person or a cat person?” impossible to answer. My own camera roll is filled with photos of my dog & cat, so you will get as many real-time updates as you’d like. I know how hard it can be to trust your pet with someone else, and I will go above and beyond to ensure both you and your pet are comfortable and confident in the time spent apart. I have experience walking dogs anywhere from Pitties to Pomeranians, and feel confident walking anything between! If given enough notice, I will do a meet and greet in advance to get to know your dog/cat, get familiar with any quirks, your preferences and ways to safely enter/exit your home. Available for drop ins and walks. REACTIVE DOGS: I have personal experience with reactive, fearful and anxious dogs- so I know first hand how difficult it can be to trust someone else to walk your pup with the vigilance & attention required to ensure the walk is a safe, happy and productive experience. I am passionate about using tools like positive reinforcement, redirection, purposeful distancing, exposure management and consistency - it is the handlers job to ensure that your pup feels secure and confident while walking. Respecting you and your dogs boundaries is of the utmost importance to me. Before the first solo walk, a meeting where I walk with you so I can meet your pup and maintain consistency with your methods is required. CATS: Some people write off cats as just needing some food, water and a fresh litter box- but us cat people know that’s all wrong! When I cat sit, I make sure to spend time engaging with your cat however they prefer, whether that’s playing hide and seek (my cats personal favorite), tossing some toys, a lap-loaf session, or anything inbetween! I’m also very vigilant about door darters, so need to worry there- my cat has trained me well.

Ratings and reviews
Laura is simply the best. Her care & communication throughout her visits is stellar. Our cats are always in the best spirits when we return thanks to Laura.


Above and beyond, Laura is kind, thoughtful and consistent. Great at communication as well

Always in good hands with Laura and Coral absolutely loves her. Thanks!

Laura is awesome! She pays close attention to our reactive pup's cues and works to stay within her comfort zone to have a successful walk. Laura also has super communication, sending detailed updates and walk reports. We're so grateful for her reliable care!

Amazing as always!


Laura is a great walker! She is very responsive and very professional. My dog needed some additional care & attention as he was recovering from a rash, and Laura took great care of him before and after each walk. Thank you Laura :)
