Highlights
Pet care experience
Love, Care, and Happy Hearts
What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, and horses. I understand the needs of pets at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to wise seniors, and I know how to adapt my care to each one. I’m comfortable with training basics, administering medications, and giving extra attention to pets with special needs. Most importantly, I bring genuine patience, love, and an intuitive understanding of animals’ moods and personalities, creating a safe, happy space where every pet feels truly cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow their routines closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special care they need—so they feel secure and at ease. I give plenty of attention and affection, monitor their behavior for any signs of stress or discomfort, and make sure they get exercise and mental stimulation appropriate to their age and personality. Whether it’s a quiet cuddle on the couch, interactive play, or simply being present, my goal is to make every pet feel happy, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.
Ratings and reviews
Laura is absolutely amazing. My boys are usually nervous around new people and she made them so comfortable and happy! My older chi needs daily medication and she didn't blink an eye, making sure he had everything he needed. She sent lots of daily pics and videos, and my home was super neat and tidy upon my return. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura and will absolutely use her services again in the future.
Laura took care of my dog for a week, and I couldn’t be happier. My little one felt so comfortable and loved while I was away it truly gave me peace of mind. You can tell Laura has a real heart for animals. I’m so grateful and would absolutely ask them to dog-sit again!
Laura is an exceptional pet sitter! She truly understands dogs and treats each one with patience, love, and attention. Her experience shows in the way she handles pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. She keeps them happy, safe, and engaged, and goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being. I always feel confident leaving my dog in her care, knowing they are in kind and capable hands. Highly recommended!
