I can run with your dog!

Pet care experience

I am a dog bather, so I am very comfortable with large breeds and know the importance of walking them often. I currently have a chihuahua and a shih-tzu at home, so I am used to the needs of small breeds as well. I have been a pet-parent almost all my life. I will get my Bachelors degree in Latin America and Latino studies with a minor in biology next fall and plan to continue studying to become a veterinarian. I am also a runner, so running with dogs at a pace where they are comfortable at is no problem for me. The safety of dogs that I bathe and walk is the main priority as well as giving them all the love and support they deserve.

Laura is truly an amazing person and if I could give her 10 stars, I would! I was so nervous leaving Smokey with a complete stranger for a few days especially because of his size, but she was so professional and communicative with pictures and videos that I knew he was in great hands. I would hands down book Laura again in a heartbeat. Me being a single mom it's awesome knowing I can trust my fur baby with someone if I'm out of town or if I'm not able to walk him as often.

I would recommend Laura to any dog owner. I can tell from experience that she is very loving and caring with any dog. She has looked after for my dog while I have been on vacation, and my dog was returned to me healthy and happy. She is one of the most responsible people I know, and I would trust her with my dog any day.

When it comes to looking for someone to take care of my dog, Laura is the first person I go to. She is responsible, experienced, and most importantly she loves dogs. She's taken care of Princess for a while now and is always keeping me up to date by sending me texts and pictures of how Princess is doing. If I contact her she is quick to respond. I highly recommend Laura.

Laura is a nurturing person and animal lover. She has done a great job watching my Cocker spaniel Achilles whenever I need to travel. Laura is very involved in animal care. Her experience at petsmart and UIC make her a reliable sitter and the perfect candidate to watch anyone's best friend. I can definitely say that Laura has the magic touch when or comes to connecting with dogs. I know my pup enjoys the times he gets to spend with Laura. He definitely shows a lot of ecxitment when he sees her. Achilles and I love Laura!
