A typical day
Tailored Fun & Enrichment for Dogs Every walk is customized to your dog's needs! For high-energy pups, we'll go on brisk, long-distance power walks. For others, we'll enjoy a slow, rewarding "sniffari" where they can fully explore the world around them. Visits also include fun mental and physical stimulation, such as supervised yard play, fetch, or puzzle toys. I also love to incorporate positive reinforcement to keep their basic obedience skills sharp!

Cuddles are my top priorities!
Pet care experience
My name is Laura, and I look forward to giving your beloved pet the care and attention they deserve. I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and has extensive experience caring for all kinds of pets. I volunteer regularly at the Georgian Triangle Humane Society, where I have also had the joy of fostering many cats and dogs. Whether your pet needs an energetic, long walk to burn off some steam or a comforting mealtime visit while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Safety, reliability, and cuddles are always my top priorities! Let's chat about your pet's needs!

Reviews
Thanks for the walk, Rennie loved it!
Laura was great…I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our dog received. From the moment we met, it was clear that our dog Dexter was in kind, capable hands. Not only did Laura follow every instruction perfectly, but she went above and beyond—sending updates, photos, and making sure our dog felt loved and comfortable the entire time. When we came home, our dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It gave us such peace of mind knowing someone so reliable and compassionate was looking after Dexter. Thank you Laura we will definitely call upon you again!!
I’ve known Laura for the past ten years and am impressed with her patience and calm demeanour. Laura was a previous dog mom and dog walker in her spare time. Laura had lots of training experience with her own fur baby. She is a volunteer and foster angel at our local humane society. Your fur babies would be very well loved while with Laura.
I’ve been working with Laura for several months at a local animal shelter. As a partner, she has always been punctual, involved, efficient and capable. She is attuned to animal body language, is very caring, quick to notice when something is not right and diligent in ensuring that each individual animal receives the proper care. She is not afraid to ask for clarifications or ask questions regarding care instructions. She’s also just a lovely person.
