Loves dogs of all kinds!

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Laura! I’m a nursing student in the Somerville area who loves dogs and has taken care of dogs for 8 years. I grew up with a golden retriever and walked/house sat for an elderly golden for 3 years. I also have experience with small dogs and I love all kinds of furry friends! My schedule is flexible due to weird night shift hours, so on a day I am off, I’m happy to walk or pet sit for you while you’re at work or on vacation! Whether your dog just needs a bathroom break or you want your dog to exercise, I can accommodate to your dog’s needs. If you need your dog to stay with me, I live on a first floor apartment where I can take him or her on bathroom breaks as frequently as you’d like. I respect all dog owner’s rules and wishes and would be able to provide a safe, loving, and reliable service. I’m completely vaccinated and happy to keep you and your pet safe.

Laura was so sweet and cared for Lewie so well! I felt very comfortable with her and felt Lewie was safe. Would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a responsible, caring, and fun dog walker!

Really friendly and accommodating. My dog quickly warmed up to her. Would definitely recommend.

Laura has been such a positive addition to our dog, Annie’s life. Annie is an older dog and has benefited so much from the long walks by the water that Laura takes her on. Annie always gets so excited when she sees Laura coming to the door and it always makes us feel good to know she is in good hands. Laura is kind, responsible, communicative and easy to work with. We recommend her to everyone!

I had Laura take my dog for a weekend when the kennel cancelled on me at the last minute. She was excellent with Molly and was happy to send me updates and photos! I would definitely recommend and use Laura's services again. When you leave your dog with Laura, you can be confident your dog is in good hands!

I love to take your dog on long walks where they can get plenty of exercise and get a chance to play some games and explore new areas. If your dog likes to run I am also a runner and would be happy to take him or her on a jog!
