Pet care experience

Exercise enthusiast, dog lover

I have extensive experience working with dogs: personally caring for dogs my entire life, fostering dogs on an as needed basis, and providing local dog walking for neighbors. I have my doctorate degree in occupational therapy. I work in schools, so I have summers and holidays free! During the school year I have flexibility to come home for lunch and provide breaks as needed. We are an incredibly active house hold. We go on several hikes a week, daily runs, and frequent trips to a dog park. Providing an active and healthy home is a huge priority for me. I love dogs and your dog will be happy and safe with me!

Laura took great care of our dogs! I know they had a blast staying with her. We also appreciated that she sent photo updates on the dogs

Laura was communicative and was great with the dogs! Would definitely book again and recommend her to others. We have a very active dog and she was understanding and made sure she got the exercise she needed!

Laura was great. She instantly connected with our two pups which made leaving for our trip very easy. There was a good amount of communication while we were gone, so that we knew what was happening and didn’t have to worry. When we came back we found two happy dogs and the house was exactly as we left it. Hoping to have Laura back!

Laura was absolutely amazing with our three dudes. She was easy-going and the dogs were so happy to have a pal to cuddle with while we were away. We'll absolutely be booking with her again :) Thank you so much, Laura!

Laura was very communicative and responded quickly to our initial inquiry. She was prompt with setting up a meet & greet and our dogs loved her! She also sent us lots of pictures, including one of the best pictures I have of my pups to date. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be continuing to have her watch our dogs in the future!
