Safety, trust & environment

We treat all animals with respect, i am so kind and loving to all my little babies even if they are simply being watched by me. I treat every animal as my own and love to take beautiful pictures so owners can have something to love as well. I am here for the owner with any special needs each baby needs wither it be only going outside for a short time and more playtime inside or if we need an hour walk there is a rate for that too. I am here to help the pet as well as the owner feel comfortable and relaxed when it comes to leaving their baby in my care.

Information Laura P. would like to know about your pet

I would please like to be informed of any temperament issues ahead of time. Such as eating habits and storm anxiety, or if they jump or pull during their walks. I am here to help make your pets walks and visits as easy as possible so knowing all of its medical issues ahead of time is very beneficial. Also I will have my daughter with me so please let me know if they have ever shown aggression towards children/teenagers. All breeds are welcome, as long as they have no history of aggression or fearfulness of strangers. Last thing I would want is to have them scared the whole time we are watching them. Please contact me with any questions.

A typical day

Tons of love and snuggles from all the members of our family. They will also get time outside in our acre yard but it is Not Fenced in. They will also get a brushing if the owner brings pets brush. Also a bath if they get a little messy playing outside but I am not a groomer by any means. We will play fetch and run all over together with our Great Dane Lucy. Or if they are more relaxed we will have a movie marathon and snuggle on the couch.

Pet care experience

Hello all, if i am lucky enough to care for your pet I will make sure they are loved and cared for not only by myself but by my 14 year old daughter & Partner JR. We are currently expecting our second child in December 2025. So my family helps with any Cat or Dog sitting booked with me. Previously I worked for an emergency animals hospital for 7 years so I handle any situation. Such as giving medications and taking care of special cases. I am open to large and small breeds of dogs or cats, and Love to take fun pictures during my walks and visits. I always Require meeting a few days prior to the booking starting date to make sure everything is a good fit for us all and meeting the pet before we show up during the appointment. Please never hesitate to message me with any questions or concerns or reach out before booking. Thanks so much.

This is the second time Laura has taken care of Daisy. She does an excellent job and keeps me updated with great details. It’s hard to leave a fur baby behind. But, Laura makes me feel very comfortable because she is in good hands.

Laura was a wonderful sitter! I felt very comfortable after she came out to meet us. She did a great job communicating and sending pictures. I’m so happy to have found Laura and I will definitely work with her again!

You can tell Laura loves animals and she does so well with my kitties! One needs insulin and she’s done that very well too.
