Tails Tales & Trails
Pet care experience
I have been a volunteer at the Windham County Humane Society animal shelter, working with the dogs, since the beginning of February, 2023. I am also a foster mom of kittens for the shelter. Prior to this, I used to volunteer back in NY at a Pitbull rescue where I walked the dogs. As well, I used to walk my former bosses dog and leash trained the dog. I have had furbabies of all kinds my whole life, Cats and Dogs were always around when I was growing up, along with periodic Fish, Hamsters, Guinea pigs, Rabbits/Bunnies, Parakeets, Snakes and other Amphibians.

Reviews
Laura is the best. Our dog absolutely loves boarding with her.
Awesome thank you!!
My dog Fern stayed at Lauras for 12 nights. I was very nervous to leave my rescue dog alone with someone as I know she has a fear of abandonment and doesn't always like meeting new people but she was comfortable with Laura right away. She got a lot of attention and walks, Laura also sent me many photo and video updates which I appreciated. I highly recommend Laura for any and I know my dog would love to stay with her again in the future if needed!
Hands down the best walker! Our dog loves Laura, they have a ton of fun together!

Safety, trust & environment
I have 2 cats and a curious one year old kitten to keep your pet company Sadly my senior dog passed away in late July, 2024. I have many crates and sizes, as well, to keep your dog contained and safe, if so preferred, and the means to keep pets separated if need be. I am always very close to home to meet their needs and can adjust my schedule around their care.
Home
Information Laura P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are special commands or hand signals that should be used; are there certain treats or diet restrictions your dog has? Are there any fears that your pet has; does thunder or fireworks affect your dog? Does your dog chase cars? These are things I'd like to know so that I may be successful and can show and give them the same love and care that you would give them. Some additional thoughts are, is your dog afraid of social atmospheres? Do I have to carry or lift your dog for any reason? Can they do stairs or ride okay in a vehicle?
A typical day
Fun walks and hikes in the neighborhood, as well as maybe a run or hike. There are lots of nature trails within walking or driving distance, right by my house to take walks with new smells for your dog to experience. My road is a dirt road, as is most of my neighborhood so traffic is a minimum.

Availability
My full time job is taking care of your pet, so I have plenty of time to give them the attention they require; however I am very active, but never traveling far from where I reside and will always be close to both mine and your furbaby(s). Rest assured the furbabies (yours and mine) are always #1.
