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.I have 3 years experience with friends who are three legged too( tripod friends) .
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.

Reviews
I had the great pleasure of having Laura stay and look after my two dogs over this past weekend. It was my first time using Rover.com and Laura. She was everything any pet owner could hope for. She was friendly, engaging, totally immersed in the well-being of my dogs and she had a natural warmth that resonated with my dogs. She made me comfortable to be away from home and I quickly developed my trust in her. She took the dogs out for walks and runs frequently and ensured that they had full and active days in my absence. She also kindly shared videos and pics with me frequently so I could see what the pups were up to at home. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a great person to care for their pets and home while they are away. The pups and I very much look forward to having Laura back again soon and on a regular basis.
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
