Pet care is an important part of my weekly routine. I work part-time at the hospital as a photographer on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with shifts that typically begin at 9:00 a.m. and end in the afternoon. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I care for my granddaughter during the day. Outside of those commitments, I schedule pet care around my availability to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so your pet’s care is never compromised.

Safety, trust & environment

How I care for pets in a client’s home depends on the specific service requested, but the goal is always to follow the pet’s normal routine and keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. This typically includes feeding them according to the owner’s instructions, providing fresh water, and giving any required medications. I also make sure pets get appropriate exercise, playtime, and companionship based on their needs and energy level. In addition, I keep the home tidy, monitor the pet’s behavior for any signs of stress or illness, and follow all care instructions provided by the client to ensure consistency and peace of mind while they are away.

Information Laura R. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - When you would 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!

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally. I believe every pet deserves kindness, patience, and exceptional care, and I love giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. With more than 20 years of professional pet-sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, personalities, and medical needs, including senior pets and those requiring medication. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique routine. I like to begin with a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your dog’s needs, and make sure we’re a great fit. Since no one knows your pet better than you do, I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and daily routine. Communication is one of my top priorities. Throughout each stay, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

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 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.
