Laura Loves Dogs

Pet care experience

*Prices are "per dog/cat," but I offer a steep discount for multiple pets! I have over 25 years of 5-star rated pet care experience, and nearly 90 repeat clients, both inside and outside of Rover :-). Hi! My name is Laura and I've been a dog and pet lover my whole life. I've owned and loved my own miniature Schnoodle for 15 years (Sniffy, who sadly passed away about 5 years ago), and I also grew up with several dogs. We have a new pup now, another Schnoodle named Smitty 🐾. He is adorable and cuddly, and now almost 4 years old. I did pet sitting and dog walking on and off on my own for about 15 years, and was also a professional dog walker and pet sitter for 2 years in WI. I now have almost 30 years of pet care experience total, both through Rover since 2015, and managing my own business as well, for those who find me primarily via word-of-mouth, etc. I used to watch dogs in my own home a lot (for 7 years), but where we are located now *I’m only able to do that at times, partly because our current dog doesn’t “mix” too well with just some other dogs, Lol - only because he loves them too much and often bugs them! 😊 While we do not have a fenced in yard, I have a couple long leads that I can hook your dog(s) up to so they can roam and sniff virtually free! As a pastor's wife and homeschooling mom, I have a busy but pretty flexible schedule, so will do my best to work with your timing and needs. My husband and children (ages 13, 16, and 19 currently) all love dogs, and have often helped care for the dogs I watch (of course, only if the pet owner is ok with that), so they are very good and loving with pets as well! I can take your dog(s) on a walk or play catch in your backyard when I come to visit. I can come do a visit for your cats, clean their litter boxes, and play with them as well. **I am also very available to come to your house for overnight house sitting stays (usually mid evening to mid morning?), combined with coming back during the day for usually one or two extra visits tops, depending on your pets’ needs and your wishes! 😊 And if you have multiple pets that I am caring for at your home, there will be a very good discount for those additional pets for all services. I am also comfortable and experienced in *administering many medications as well - oral, eye and ear drops, and some injections. I also have a lot of experience with senior dogs and the issues that can go with that age. I am very honest, conscientious, kind, thorough, a good communicator, and will keep you well updated and send you photos as much as you desire! When I am in your home for a visit, dog walk, or housesitting, I will keep your home neat and clean and will abide by all your rules and wishes. I am very responsible, and will show up within the time parameters we have discussed and do all the things you’ve asked me to do. However you choose to have me care for your pet(s), know that they will be in quality hands, and I will care for and love your dog(s) or cat(s) as if they’re my own pets (honestly!), doing all I can to make them as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. ♥️☺️

Laura was fantastic with our golden retriever!! She was quick with responding and sent so many updates on how he was doing. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup for the weekend. Highly recommend!

Laura is everything you could hope for in a house/dog sitter. I was very nervous to go through a website and have a stranger stay at my house and watch my dogs. When you meet and greet with Laura, you come away with a sense of security and trust. When it came time for the actual dog sitting, she communicated frequently each day and sent pictures and updates. We will continue to use Laura in the future for our dog watching needs and would recommend her to others. Positive experience all around.

Information Laura L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pup (or cat) has any special needs, medications, “quirks” ;-) or behaviors that I should know about to make my stay there comfortable for them. I of course can’t do visits for or stay with dogs or cats exhibiting any aggressive behaviors, but can accept almost any other type of dog or cat!

A typical day

I will snuggle with your dogs or cats, play ball with your pups in the house or outside, play tug-of-war, go on walks, and just give them lots of loves and pets and cuddling to make them feel comfortable. Whatever you wish!
