Pet care experience

Big love for little paws! 🐾❤️

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and can’t wait to spend time with your pet. I grew up around dogs & cats and have cared for many different breeds and personalities. I have a small chihuahua mix named Rex, who brings so much joy to my life. He’s full of energy and attitude, so I understand how to handle both spunky and shy pups with patience and care. Beyond my own dog, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just giving pets the attention they need, I love making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Every animal is unique, and I always tailor my approach to what makes them feel safest. You can trust that I’ll treat your furry friend like my own, ensuring they get the love, exercise, and care they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your pet!

Laura was fantastic with Ember! She took great care of her and adapted to her needs, even hand feeding her kibbles when Ember wouldn't eat 🥹. Ember had a great time with Laura and was a happy dog when I got back from my trip. I highly recommend Laura and would book her again!

Our dog Lottie did great with Laura. She sent lots of pictures and got lots of cuddles and walks.

Laura is the best! My senior dog Tiny took to her immediately. I’ve used Laura twice so far and she’s been punctual, communicative and just overall wonderful. Tiny can be reactive and some quirks, but Laura has been mindful of them and I’m at ease knowing Tiny is in her care! Will definitely continue to book with Laura :)

Schedule

As a freelance graphic designer, I create my own schedule and work from home, which allows me to be present for pet care throughout the day. This flexibility means I’m available to watch over pets, take play breaks, and give them the attention they need while ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small dog who is the center of my world, so I’m used to regular walks and pee breaks throughout the day. Your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care—plus, my pup can be a great companion if they enjoy company! My dog is crate trained, and I can crate him or your pet if needed to ensure a comfortable and safe environment.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and engaged! We’ll go on walks around my neighborhood, explore Prospect Park for fresh air and adventure, and play fun games to keep them entertained. Whether it’s a game of chase, tug, or just some good old-fashioned belly rubs, I’ll make sure your pet has a great time!

I like to know your pet’s preferences and any important details to ensure their safety and happiness. Whether they’re a sidewalk snacker, a squirrel chaser, or have specific routines, I’ll tailor my care to their needs. Just let me know anything that helps me make their experience comfortable and fun!
