Big fan of fetch!

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and have a life long love for them. I am not able to have a four legged friend of my own right now but would love to take care of some neighborhood canines. I have pet-sat for many friends over the years and grew up with rescue pups with my dog-trainer mother. Along the way I have learned that every dog is different, they all have their likes and dislikes, their favorite haunts and least used squeaky toys. It's hard for an owner and a dog to be apart but each dog deserves some time to get to know and a chance to be happy. While an owner is away I would love to walk and play to bring a little more joy. Cheers!

I'm months behind in review. Laura watched Hugo twice and was an excellent sitter! She communicated well, took him on fun hiking adventures, and didn't let him get into any trouble. He was a happy healthy pup when I returned home.

Laura housesat my often rambunctious and demanding German Shepherd over the weekend and I came home to a content dog acting like I hadn't been away at all. She communicated well and gave me updates on his walks. I felt at ease about leaving my dog and could actually enjoy my trip instead of worrying about him.

Laura has taken care of my cat and my dog and I trust her 100%. She is attentive and caring. I would have her take care of my animals again.

Information Laura P. would like to know about your pet

I love 'em all! Old, young, feisty, strong, talkative, shy, blue, green, etc. A brief description of what they like/don't and how they generally act. (i.e. should I not even try to play fetch with Rover or does Spot hate peanut butter)

A typical day

I am always down for a new adventure! If a four legged friend has a lot of energy I am happy to tire them out with some stairs or new scenery. on the other hand if I'm walking a canine who likes to stop and smell the roses, I am also happy to find the right pleasant shady pathway for an enjoyable stroll.
