Loving family needs doggie kisses

Pet care experience

We lost our wonderful dog, Titus, to cancer and we are excited to open our hearts and care for other dogs. We have 7 years of experience with a sick dog, so I'm very comfortable giving meds to animals. I grew up with animals and animals are drawn to me. I had many pets growing up including rabbits and a raccoon. I'm a high school social studies teacher who has more availability in the summer months and wants to spend some time with friendly dogs. I will walk briskly in your neighborhood or drive to a neighborhood park. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a dead-end street with my husband and young adult children. We will care for your dog as if it were our own and give it lots of hugs. We have been working with Rover for 6 years and have lots of experience with various cats and dogs. I will now be offering in-home services and am excited for this new adventure. I am a responsible adult and am willing to care for your pets in your home if you wish.

Laura provided exceptional care for Brutus while we were away on our trip to Mexico. From the moment we met her, we could sense her genuine love for animals. She went above and beyond to ensure Brutus felt comfortable and loved in our absence. Laura provided regular updates and photos, which eased our minds and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. We returned to a happy and healthy pup, which is a testament to Laura’s dedication and expertise. We are incredibly grateful for her outstanding service and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care. Thank you, Laura, for treating Brutus like family!

Laura was wonderful with our two dogs (one of which is elderly). She was very attentive and we would definitely use her again!

We had to be gone for an extended period on a recent Saturday. We contacted Laura and asked her to drop by to let our 3 dogs (labs and lab mixes) out into our fenced yard and to make sure that they actually got off the porch and relieved themselves. She did that and took pictures of them romping and sniffing in the yard. She likes them and they clearly like and are comfortable around her. Very pleased!

One of our two rescue dogs is very shy but she warmed right up to Laura. Laura kept us informed with messages and pictures. We returned to a neat house and happy dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

When in your home I will follow your house rules, we will snuggle on the couch and be fed 2-3 times a day and have plenty of water. We will go for walks and play outside. If you don't have a fenced yard they will go outside with me on a leash. If it's too hot or too cold we will stay inside and be safe.

Information Laura L. would like to know about your pet

I prefer a lower-energy dog that doesn't pull on the leash. I would like to know the dog's routine, if the yard is fenced and if your dog takes medication or has any special needs.

A typical day

I love to walk with dogs near my home in the green space nearby with woods and trails and lots of interesting things to smell. We also walk the streets. If your dog likes to play fetch we will throw the ball or toy and play chase of course all dogs love to be brushed and petted and snuggled with.
