Pet care experience

Energetic, Responsible, Pet-lover!

I have watched puppies, dogs, and cats for my friends, family, neighbors, and clients for years. I am always thrilled when someone needs me to snuggle and play with their pets! If you have any questions feel free to contact me in advance of booking and I will be happy to talk about your pets and their needs. I love taking dogs on walks or runs, depending on their energy level. I grew up with dachshunds and cats, and currently live with the sweetest lab-pittbull mix. I am happy to watch dogs and cats of all sizes!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own space. I stick to their usual routine, whether that’s a walk around the block, some playtime, or just keeping them company and making sure they’re fed and happy. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of love.

Excellent with the cats! One of our cats was recently diagnosed with diabetes. She had the knowledge to help Out in a huge time of need.

I am so glad we picked Laura to do a drop in for our two weenie dogs. The weenies are high demanding, and have special needs. Laura was very communicative and friendly. She is definitely one of the best out there. You will not regret choosing Laura to take care of your pups.

Laura was excellent. She was very easy to book and helped us out last minute. Our normally shy dog warmed up to her very quickly as well!

Laura took excellent care of my boxer, Rosie. She kept me updated each day on how Rosie was doing. I didn't worry one bit, and that's worth a lot when you're traveling! Thank you Laura for taking such good care of Rosie! I highly recommend Laura to take care of your pups.

Taking care of pets is just part of my everyday life—I’ve got a dog of my own, so walks, meals, playtime, and snuggles are already built into my routine. I love being around animals and making sure they feel happy and safe.
