Pet care experience

VIP Resort

I bring a lifetime of hands, on experience and a naturally calm presence. I’ve cared for dogs and cats at every stage of life, from puppies and kittens to seniors, starting with volunteering at a veterinary hospital at age 12. I’m especially good at reading animals and helping them feel at ease in a new environment.

Laura is such a great host and caregiver to our dogs! Her place is so well suited for them that they actually love going to the dog sitter's and it's like a second home for them.

Laura has watched our dog Roo twice now and she has been the best! Roo looks so happy in all of the pictures I get during his stay. She is very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Laura once again was amazing. She was easy to work with as usual, and was flexible when we had a change in pick up plans. She kept us informed when it appeared Annie may not be feeling well. Laura’s has become Annie’s second home! Our go-to anytime we leave town!

Laura opened her house to our St. Bernard in the most kind way. We had 100% peace of mind during our trip to Asia thanks to Laura's constant updates and pictures. We saw our dog being hugged and playing with Laura's daughters and other dogs... so our dog ALSO enjoyed a vacation! She is definitely a five star pet sitter. 100% recommended.

Schedule

I work from home, and pet care is part of my everyday routine. Being around animals, caring for them, and paying attention to their needs is second nature to me. The best part of my day is dog walks and cuddles.

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and secure. I stick closely to what they’re familiar with and take my cues from the animal. 💛

A typical day

A typical day is unhurried and built around the animal. I like to spend time outside, take nature walks, and have cuddle time. some of my guests want movement, some want closeness, some just want to nap nearby, and I let the day follow that.

It’s important to know a pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any medical conditions. Also, knowing their temperament, any fears or anxieties, and how they interact with other animals ensures their safety and comfort.
