Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawprints & Cuddles
Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.
Ratings and reviews
Communicated very well with me about my fur babies and was very calm and easy going when I forgot to leave her a way to get into the house. She thought outside of the box in getting a hold of me when I did not answer her text.
Laura was fantastic. We left our Theo for a week with Laura and she kept us informed and took great care of the house and Theo. We would definitely book her again. Carl and Jennie
I booked Laura for the first time as a drop-in for my 3 dogs. She not only let them out, but she played with them and loved on them. I appreciate the time she spent letting them get to know her. I will be booking her in the future! She was wonderful.
Great communication and meet and great was not rushed. Felt comfortable leaving my 2 dogs and cat with Laura.
Laura is a fantastic pet caregiver with over 20 years of experience. She is incredibly responsible, loving, and attentive to animals of all kinds. I’ve seen firsthand how well she cares for pets, including cats, dogs, and even small animals like guinea pigs. She provides a safe, nurturing environment and truly understands each pet’s unique needs. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Laura looking after their furry (or not-so-furry) family members! Highly recommend!
Laura would be an excellent care taker of your pets. She is kind, gentle, caring and well versed in pet care. She has a lifetime of experience and is very responsible. She has the type of personality that animals are drawn to. She will treat your pet as though it is a member of her own family. If you need to leave your dog or cat and want to never worry about them while you are away then I highly recommend that you leave them in Laura’s gentle hands. She has been an excellent care taker for my pets and they love her as much as they do me!!!!

I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times.
