Active and young with lots of love

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Laura, and I would love to take care of your furry loved ones of any size or breed! I've always had a deep love for all animals, spending most of my life caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, rats, etc. After spending a few years working with Wag, I decided to join Rover and expand my services to spend more time doing what I love, caring for your pets! I work from home full time, so someone will always be around to watch your pup when you're away. I have a 2.5 year old Aussie/lab mix who loves everyone he meets, so he should be a great friend for your pup! Our home is on a quiet street with a small fenced yard for frequent potty breaks. There is also an abundance of parks and trails nearby so your pup is sure to come home happy and tired :) I am available for a variety of services including boarding, daycare, walks, and house sitting, so please reach out with any/all requests! I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pup like they are my own :)

Laura was wonderful! I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again. She accommodated my schedule easily because I was traveling for a wedding, sent daily pictures along with updates about what they were doing or had just done during the entire stay, and she treated my pup like he was her own dog (which she does have her own dog, Oliver!), and Oliver got along great with my dog! My dog especially enjoyed visiting at the local dog park that Laura so kindly and frequently took him (and Oliver) during his stay!

Laura was amazing with Zahr !! Very attentive and gave me several updates a day and photos !! Zahr is 14 and takes medicine and has some particulars and she was fabulous and I felt very safe and assured with her care !! Would definitely use Laura again. Thank you !!

We knew that our dogs were in great hands with Laura. She is awesome! We will definitely be asking her to sit again. Thank you for treating our boys so well!

Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet

All breeds are welcome, but please let me know if there are any special considerations (medications, behaviors, favorite toys/activities, sleeping arrangements, etc.) that I should know about so that I can provide the best care possible for your dog! Also please notify me if your dog is not yet house trained or is in the process or house training so that I can plan appropriately for that.

A typical day

Some of my favorite activities include going for long walks or runs around the neighborhood and visiting the dog park. If it's a really nice day, we might take a trip to go for a hike or visit another nearby park to play some games and enjoy the sunshine. On the other hand, I'm always open to enjoy a night in and provide lots of cuddles and movies for a more laid-back day.
