Loves all pets like they’re my own!

Pet care experience

My name is Laura and I grew up in Park City, Utah! After graduating from Stanford with my undergrad and masters, I’m now working here remotely in sustainability consulting. In my free time I love to go on hikes, camp, and pretty much anything outside! I love all animals and would love to take care yours :) I’ve taken care of animals and volunteered at animal shelters since I was in elementary school. Both of my dogs were rescues from the animal shelter I worked at and one has behavior issues from past abuse so I am also experienced and comfortable with difficult (or as I say misunderstood!) dogs. My other dog has a medical condition so I’m comfortable with managing meds as well. I am an experienced foster puppy mom of puppies under one. I also have worked on farms, taking care of pigs, chickens, goats, cows and turkeys :) I often “farm-sat” and took care of all the animals and the two farm dogs.

Laura did a great job watching our dog! We got updates and pictures every day and came home to a happy dog!

Laura took excellent care of our pup Finn while he's recovering from an injury. We felt safe and sound knowing that Finn was in good hands. Laura was a wonderful caretaker!

I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so lots of time for playing, potty breaks, snuggles and walks. I have fostered puppies in the past (which can feel like a full time job!) and am able to fit it in easily to my schedule.
