Pet care experience
Animals have always been such a huge part of my life, so getting to take care of them is just second nature to me. The unconditional love that an animal brings to our lives has always inspired me to do whatever I could to give back to them! I believe that it’s simply my duty to make animals happy wherever and whenever I can! That’s why I’ve always done whatever I could for animals. In addition to my strong convictions about animal care, I also have the expertise to back it up! I have been a pet sitter for over 10 years. In that time, I’ve learned so much about taking care of animals and providing them with excellent care. From working with elderly pups to dogs that needed medication, I’ve done it all! During that time, I’ve also worked for Dee Dee the Pet Nanny for over five years before owning my own sitting business in Chapel Hill! If you’re looking for someone with plenty of professional experience to take care of your pup, look no further! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. Making pups happy is simply my number one goal! To accomplish that, I believe that great communication is the foundation of any good stay. I like to get as much information about you and your pup as often as possible. That way, I can start imagining how to make your pooch as happy as can be! During the stay, I’ll always send as much communication as necessary to keep you in the loop on everything we’ve done together. From meal prep to exercise times, I’ll keep tabs on anything you request! Those updates will always be replete with tons of great pictures of us as well!
Reviews
Laura was awesome! I got a picture everyday. Eli has been really chilled since he has been back home, which usually means he was busy while away! That’s a good thing ?. I highly recommend her boarding services. My fur baby came home happy!
Laura was a great communicator and took great care of our two pups. They enjoyed their stay with her and we felt comfortable that they were in great hands.
Maple had a great weekend with Laura, getting many walks and wonderful care! We really appreciated the photo updates and Laura's kind flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times!
Laura gave excellent care to our dog and provided text updates to us letting us know how our dog was doing which put us at ease while we were away.

Information Laura R. would like to know about your pet
Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - I also will charge an additional daycare fee if your pet is picked up after 12:00 the following day because boarding fees are for nights only - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - What’s your preferred method of communication? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
I know that a healthy dog is a happy dog, so I’m always happy to make sure your pup has enough exercise and entertainment to be fulfilled. I live in a great neighborhood that has plenty of walking paths, so we’ll always be able to find something great to do together! Exploring and discovering are some of my favorite things to do, and there’s nothing like having a canine co-pilot alongside for the ride. If we plan on staying local, I have an unfenced backyard as well. But whatever your pup’s speed is, I’ll always accommodate them.
