Dog lover and amateur dog trainer
Pet care experience
My dog loving and caring journey started when my husband and I got our first dog, a black lab puppy, 3 years ago. Bathing, potty training, basic obedience, and then some basic bird hunting and field work followed. We have watched friends’ dogs as well.
Reviews
Laura is awesome! Would totally board my dog with her again!
Laura is an amazing dog mom to her Molly and unofficial aunt to my Ruby. Ruby has so much fun with Molly, and Laura has helped train Ruby to listen better to whoever is giving her a command- she used to only listen to my husband, but now listens to him, me, anyone who is giving her a command; this has greatly helped my sanity. Laura is trustworthy and I know I have no worries taking Ruby to stay with her and Molly.
Laura is a very trustworthy and honest dog caregiver! We love having her watch our dog while we are out of town. Our dog hardly misses us when we are gone, he has a great time playing and staying with her! I 10/10 recommend anyone to have Laura watch your dog! She is so loving and gentle!

I have a fenced in back yard and one dog and one cat to keep your fur babies company. I also have chickens in my backyard, that can be contained in their coop and run, which can lead to some entertaining doggie adventures. I live in a safe, dog friendly neighborhood and take my dog on frequent walks. I clean up after my dogs, make sure they are fed and watered, do basic training activities and games, and can do hygiene items like bathing, teeth brushing, and nail trimming (if dogs allow).

Information Laura P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if you dog has any special needs or behaviors prior to booking. Remember, I have a 3 year old intact black lab female who is really sweet and controlled, however, has a TON of energy and thinks all dogs are her best friend, no matter what the other dog thinks. I am able to contain her or separate from other dogs if necessary.
A typical day
I love working with my dog and am constantly adding in 5 minutes of training here and there throughout the day in addition to daily long walks. I am always working on basic obedience commands to have a well controlled dog on and off leash, explore the smells on long walks or runs, and practice retrieving. If your dog likes water like mine does, I'll take to lakes nearby for swimming. We can go to dog parks by my house for additional socialization, do long walks in my neighborhood, or just laze inside on my couch if they are feeling cuddly.

Availability
I work full time Monday through Friday 9:00am-5:00pm, but am available on the weekends and some early mornings or evenings during the week. I usually take my dog for a walk in the morning before work, and long walks or training activities on weekends. I feed my dog two times a day, morning and evening. Thank goodness my 50 lb lab has a strong bladder to get her through the 8-9 hours I’m gone at work during the week. On weekends, I can do much more frequent potty breaks for your dog. My dog is crate trained and I would like other dogs that are crate trained too.
