Whippets' Gotta Play!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs all my life. My Whippet is my family and I'll treat your pup the same way! We are certified Positive Training certificate holders and passed the Canine Good Citizen training and exam. If needed, I could help keep up with current training for your pup while in my care.

Laura has dog sat my dog Anubis on couple of occasions. Throughout his stays, she sent me updates and pictures of what he was doing- playing inside and outside with her dog (which he's very friendly) and pictures from walks. I felt my dog was loved. Laura is super nice and very responsive to my questions and my dog's needs. I would definitely recommend her.

Dr. Laura Parker is a kind, caring, companionate and reliable individual. She loves dogs and has deep concerns their overall well being. She is a well rounded person and will be a great asset to your company.

I enthusiastically recommend Laura as pet caregiver. As a dog trainer of 10+ years, I have seen countless pet sitters come and go. However Laura truly stands out as one of the most compassionate pet caregivers not only for her own dog but other animals as well. She has an innate ability to connect with them and understand their individual needs. Whether it's following specific feeding instructions or simply providing love and attention. I am consistently impressed by Laura’s exceptional care for pets. I wholeheartedly endorse her expertise, professionalism and above all, her genuine love for animals. Highly recommend!

A typical day

My Whippet loves having playmates! We play in the backyard often with plenty of room to romp and toys to play with. We love going to the dog park or on a walking path just a few blocks from the house. Good obedience is a must. I constantly work with my Whippet, Banks, on his positive training, and I can do the same with your pup too. I provide treats and lots of cuddles!
