It takes a village...let me help!

Pet care experience

I've been lucky to have had dogs and cats in my home my entire life, with a few lizards, birds and fish sprinkled in. Friends and family used me as a pet sitter throughout college, and I finally took a hint from the universe that this was the perfect job for me! I even interned on a farm for 2 months in 2017 and got to work with cows, chickens, sheep, goats and pigs everyday. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds, sizes, and ages. I love playing music on the walks to keep everyone calm and happy :) I have been a dog walker/pet sitter in the area for almost 3 years- 5 years total, with several long time clients spanning that whole time. Let me be part of your village to make your pet's life happy and healthy! Pet care is my full-time job, so I have very open and flexible availability. If doing overnights at your house, I will more than likely have to leave for other client walks at some point during the days. I try to ask a multitude of questions about your dog's behavior, habits, and triggers so that I am well-prepared and can avoid conflict to the best of my ability.

Our kitties are usually shy with sitters, but are happy to see Laura. Thanks for taking great care of them!

Laura was fantastic! She was patient and mindful of our kitties. She took great care of them and was attentive to their habits. She sent updates and asked questions when uncertain or took notice of an issue. She was even able to get our timid little guy to come out of his shell ?

Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what triggers each dog I spend time with. Do they bolt out the door? Are they aggressive on walks? Do they hate when you touch their ears? Nobody knows them better than you, so I like to absorb as much of that as possible.

A typical day

If your pup enjoys walks, we can break up the day that way. I am happy sitting outside with a book or crossword while your dog roams the yard. We can play treat hide and seek inside during bad weather. Or if you've got a couch potato pup, I'm more than happy to veg with them!
