Safety, trust & environment

I am available to check in on your pets. I will provide food and water as well as play and enrichment to keep them happy and entertained. For cats, I am also available to empty litter boxes. I am available to cuddle your pet and spend some time with them while you cannot.

Information Laura J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s likes, dislikes, fears, allergies, and any areas they prefer not to be touched. For example, my own dog doesn’t like her paws or nails handled. Also include any medical details, routines, social preferences, or quirks around other animals. This information helps me keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy.

A typical day

Hikes/trail adventures, nature walks , car rides, ball /stick, frisbee throw. Toy play: tug of war and or gentle games that will match each dog's energy level. I also love incorporating simple training games like practicing sit, shake a paw, or other cues, to keep their minds active and reinforce positive behaviour.

Pet care experience

With a lifetime of experience caring for both cats and dogs - including seniors and my sweet “grand-dog” ,a special needs tripod, I bring patience, compassion, and a mature and reliable understanding to every visit. I offer flexible, reliable care when you need it most. Whether it’s a gentle walk, extra cuddles, or careful attention for older or special needs pets, I treat every animal like family.

Laura is fantastic. She was able to accommodate my pups last minute and was very kind. She asks excellent questions and communicates very well. I was always kept up to date. The pups loved her and I’d book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Laura!

They say dogs are like family, and thats exactly how Laura treats our little guy. He is always so excited to see her. She has a genuine love for animals, which we admire. We would highly recommend Laura! The Soares Family

Laura is incredibly gentle and patient with animals. She did drop in visits for my two cats, including one who is very wary of strangers and always hides. Somehow, Laura got him to come out and sit near her in the living room! He never did that! She’s the only person I fully trust with my pets. I highly recommend her as a responsible and loving caregiver.
