Love and Attention to Detail!
Pet care experience
I am a law student, but above all, I am an animal lover. I can't have a pupperoni of my own in my current apartment, and my sweet German Shepard mix passed a few years ago. I dogsit all the time because I love to hang with dogs and make sure they have good company, tasty treats, clean water, and fresh air. I have a cat I love very, very dearly named King Louie (and I must be very talented, because I manage to be a crazy cat lady with only one cat)! My partner and I have committed to only adopting elderly animals, but I watch lots of young, energetic dogs and have experience with dogs who need LOTS of exercise! I love to birdwatch and be outside, so I'll take a pup down to Boulder Creek, the dog park, or even camping (if that's right for your dog). I am very detail-oriented and serious when it comes to following an owner's instructions down to a tee -- keeping your dog or cat on his or her schedule is less stress for everyone, most importantly your animal; he already misses you as it is, and doesn't need big changes to the routine. I also always send a daily smiley pic to put parents' minds at ease. You never have to worry with me -- your animal is on track, taken out on time, having a blast, getting his meds, or anything else you would do if you could be there.

Information Laura-Joy S. would like to know about your pet
I will always need to know if a dog has a history of biting, aggression, or very severe separation anxiety. Please also let me know how frequently/likely it is for your dog to accidentally urinate/defecate/vomit inside the house. If it's highly unusual, it can be a sign of a serious medical problem, but if it happens from time to time, I'm less likely to worry. I like to know if you are trying to correct a certain behavior with your dog so I can make sure to keep up your efforts in your absence. For instance, if your dog is biting the leash or pulling on walks and you have been using a short leash or disciplinary routine, just let me know. If your dog won't respond to basic commands such as sit or come, please also give me a heads up.
