Availability

Pet care naturally fits into my routine as an active individual who loves to be outside. I average about 8 miles of walking each day, making daily walks with your pet an integral part of my schedule. As an early riser and remote worker, I can accommodate early morning routines, ensuring your pet gets the attention they need from the start of the day.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, you can expect a clean, organized, and safe environment. Living alone allows me to focus entirely on your pet, making them the center of my attention. I maintain a tidy space, which is perfect for pets who thrive in a calm and orderly setting. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I bring the same level of care and respect to your space as I do to mine. I am highly adaptable to the specific needs of your pet, whether they require a calm and patient approach or a more active and engaging routine.

Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet

It's important to me that your pet feels as comfortable and happy as possible while in my care, so I always appreciate knowing any special needs or behaviors in advance. Whether your dog has dietary restrictions, medication needs, or particular quirks (like a favorite toy or a specific walking route), I’m more than happy to accommodate. My goal is to tailor my care to your pet's unique personality and needs, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience for both of us.

A typical day

A typical day with me starts early around 6:00am, ensuring that your pet gets plenty of morning exercise and fresh air. We might start with a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll, depending on your pet's energy level and needs. I love incorporating playtime into our routine, whether it's a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring a local park or beach. Throughout the day, I make sure to balance activity with rest, providing your pet with a comfortable, calming environment where they can relax and feel loved and safe.

Pet care experience

I have extensive experience with both ends of the spectrum in dog care. I’ve cared for my senior dog who was blind, deaf, and battling cancer, which taught me incredible patience and compassion. I’ve also raised a puppy from just 8 weeks old, successfully potty and crate training her. I’m highly adaptable, able to provide slow, gentle care for older or special-needs pets, or be as active as necessary for energetic pups. Additionally, I’m exceptionally neat and organized, ensuring that your home remains spotless while I care for your pet.

Laura took excellent care of our doggo while my wife and I attended a 2 day wedding. Talk about a kind, caring and attentive person! She provided multiple updates, photos and videos throughout our pups entire stay. And went the extra mile to tend to his specific quirks, likes and dislikes to make his stay the least stressful experience possible. We hope to be able to have our dog stay with Laura in the near future again and would 100% recommend her to other pawrents!

Laura was amazing with our 12 week old puppy! She was professional, caring, communicative and diligent in every way. We had a very detailed and specific schedule for our puppy being that he is so young and has a number of specific needs at this age. Laura was meticulous in sticking with his routine and giving him plenty of playtime and stimulation. The frequent updates and photos reassured me that he was in good hands and was being properly loved and cared for. We will definitely be booking Laura again for any future dog care needs.

Laura is amazing! She stepped in super last minute to take care of my boy when my friend flaked on me WHILE I was out of town. Laura is kind, trustworthy, and very patient. My dog is a bit on the shyer side and she seemed to know exactly what to do on how to gain his trust based on intuition and experience. I can’t recommend her enough and will be hiring her in the future. Thank you again, Laura! 🩷✨
