Flexible Schedule, Love Walking!

Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Laura. I’ve owned a few dogs throughout my life, but right now, I want to take care of yours! I'm usually the first to volunteer to pet sit when my friends need help. I'm self-employed, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’ve owned and boarded a variety of canines and provide reliable and responsible pet care. I grew up with Boxers and had a big, fat Bulldog at one point. When I bought my first house, I adopted a "defective" purebred Doberman Pinscher named Max. His defect was a white diamond-shaped patch on his chest. It's what made him special. I drove Max back to my SoCal home, and he provided me with love, security, and companionship. Once I had kiddos, they begged me for a puppy. I finally caved in, even though I knew full well that after a few months, it would become "my" dog. Cooper was a Boston Terrier who grew to be 36 pounds – we should have named him Tank! I took him running almost every morning which he loved. My roommate had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Golden Retriever, Pitbull-Rottweiler mix, and a Corgi. I adored living with them, and pet sat each of them from time to time. I love living in Austin. House and pet sitting allows me to take care of animals while getting to know the city better.

Laura took great care of our dogs house sitting for a three night stay. Our pups were happy and our house was as we left it. She even emptied our dishwasher, which was above and beyond in my book.

Laura was fantastic! One of my Chihuahuas gave Laura a hard time and she handled it well. (Thank you, Laura, for looking after everything!)

Laura was wonderful. She took care of our two dogs and stayed in our house for a week putting our minds at ease while away. She is reliable and gets back to you right away. Highly recommend.

I’d like to know about your dog’s: - Breed, size, and age - Temperament and personality - Physical activity requirements - Health condition - Feeding requirements

A typical day

When I look after your fur baby, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other, go for walks, and play fetch. I’ll most likely take your pet for walks around your neighborhood where he or she is familiar. Depending on how much time we have, we might head to Town Lake or explore the trails in the preserve. I’m a loveable pet sitter and will always leave your home looking better than when I arrived. I take the time to listen to my clients to really understand their needs.
