Safety, trust & environment

In my home all pets are treated like family. I believe in letting dogs be dogs. Stemming from that belief, I do not crate the animals in my care (unless strictly necessary or requested by the client). I live right next to a fenced dog park so all dogs in my care get ample opportunity to stretch their legs. I also provide frequent potty breaks, daily walks and structured meal times.

Information Laura L. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting, it’s helpful to know about your dog’s routine, energy level, triggers, and any medical or behavioral needs. I appreciate details about feeding schedules, leash manners, social preferences, and commands they know. This allows me to maintain consistency and ensure your dog feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with dogs in my care is structured, engaging, and tailored to each dog’s energy level and personality. We start with meals, potty breaks and exercise, followed by enrichment activities like games, sniff walks, or basic training refreshers. Throughout the day, I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interaction, making sure each dog gets both physical activity and calm downtime.

Great communication!! Our dogs were well taken care of and so was the house. Will definitely use Laura again to take care of our crew!!

I was blessed to work with Laura at a doggy daycare in WA state! She was the manager who trained me. We later started our own dog boarding business back in 2019, which has continued to grow and flourish. If I needed dog services in her new region, she'd be the goto dog sitter for my personal pups. All that to say, your pups are in good hands with Laura. She has owned dogs her whole life, has impressive professional experience with them, and has a heart for them too!

When Laura cared for my dog Ike I could rest easy knowing he was in the absolute best hands. It was evident in how much he ADORED her! She was consistent, communicative and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. Would 100% hire her again.

Laura has taken care of my dogs at my cats at all the stages of their lifes over many years. She understands the plethora of needs and is more than patient with their individual idiosyncrasies. My dog is a very nervous boy who is best managed with structured activity and kind words and occasional meds when necessary and she has always been proactive with implementing whatever he has needed. My dog before him was a French Bulldog and Laura is extremely well versed in the unique care they require as she has a bracycephalic breed herself! I know my pets are in good, knowledgeable hands when I can leave them with Laura♥️
