Kind hearted, lifetime animal lover

Pet care experience

I have had and loved dogs my entire life. Well...I love all animals but especially dogs. Everyone has always told me I should be a vet, animals seem to love me. I just could not handle the sad side of being a vet. Even animals that do not get along with most people seem to get along with me. I have worked in a kennel with a ton of dogs doing everything from feeding including many special diet meals, cleaning, walking, and giving medications. I have also worked in a doggy daycare handling up to 30 dogs myself at a time. I also have babysitting for many friends family members dogs since I was a teenager! Also people who know me from where I walk my dog recruit me to watch there dog often too. I Have worked and cared for other types of animals such as cats, bunnies, hamsters, turtles, etc...and I love it! I also have a wonderful son who is 6 and he loves and is great with all animals! I will always send text, pictures and updates if you request! This is my main source of income, so it is a real job to me, so I take it serious. It is not just extra money for me!

Laura is absolutely amazing! We work long hours, and Laura has been a godsend to come let our dogs out during the day. They love her, and she absolutely adores them! We plan to use Laura for as long as she'll have us! Her post-visit descriptions and pictures are great and she cleans up puppy messes which happen more frequently than we'd like!

Laura has been helping us with walls for over two months now. Today we tried day care for the first time and it was just as amazing! She was in constant contact and clearly loves animals! Her dogs are SO friendly even with my little puppy. We are so grateful for Laura!

Information Laura K. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to make sure if they are in my house they are okay with cats, mine are used to getting chased, hehe. My dog taunts them so they are used to it, but she will not hurt them. Also your dog must like other dogs, and have been around other dogs and socialized before (unless a puppy), and the must like kids! Also please please please make sure your dog is up to date on all shots! Please do not send a sick dog I do not want any others to get sick. Also make sure they do not have fleas or anything that can easily spread to another dog. No dog aggressive dogs please! Your dog should be prepared to get spoiled. I love to spoil animals, hope to meet and take care of your pooch soon!

A typical day

I currently take my dog to a giant field next to a golf course where you have a choice of the field, sand pits, or woods to walk and play in. There is often other dogs there to play with too and they all get along. I also have many parks, and state parks, by my house where I often go too. My yard is fenced in and big too, so we will spend time outside. I work from home so If I am sitting nobody will be lonely! My son loves all animals so they will have a kid to play with too during the summer months or after his day at school. Your dog will not be bored or alone. I have a dog of my own who loves all other dogs, and I will be baby sitting a friends dog in May who is also great with dogs, so if your dog likes dogs I am a great fit. I do have cats in my house who are used to being chased around! I will do whatever kind of play or walk you would like me to do for your dog! If you would like it to just play in my yard, thats fine, whatever works for you!
