Experienced-Nurturing-Full of Love!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a menagerie of furry babies, scaley babies, barnyard babies, and sweet swimmers. I have since kept my own dogs and fostered 10 dogs over the last fifteen years. I am extremely skilled with medical fosters. I said goodbye to my 90lb senior Rottweiler earlier this year and just parted with my 14 year old, 3 legged, 6lbs puppy mill rescue Pomeranian. I've fostered deaf animals and dogs with aggression issues. I am pleased to have found permanent homes for my fosters, but when fur babies come to my house, they never want to leave :)

Laura was incredible: great communication, great energy, and most importantly great care. My pup may have been slightly annoyed that I came back from my trip and interrupted her staycation at Chez Laura...

Laura is fantastic, and Elvis loved being with her!!! She was attentive to his routine and all of his sensitivities, and she was very communicative with me throughout his stay. Would absolutely book with her again--she's a gem!

Laura is a very responsible pet parent who makes a great pet sitter. She follows directions to the letter, and respects your pets’ routine. She has experience with picky and temperamental pets too. She has always been an exceptional pet owner as well. Her dogs are always healthy and well groomed.

I have two iron gates separating two different alleys and two courtyards all connected with an 8' brick fence protecting my privacy and outdoor space. This makes potty-training of younger dogs and incontinence often seen in seniors an absolute breeze!

Information Laura R. would like to know about your pet

I solely have to introduce Kida to other guests as she can be very overly stimulated. Once an introduction has commenced after a full stay, a dog-parent can meet her as well and she will brightly warm up to them; but I try to reduce human interaction while she is still in early training.

A typical day

My pup is in service dog training for myself. We have a minimum half our outside of agility and retrieving training daily after work. Younger dogs often like to join her while older dogs like to watch the show ^_^ (they will all get treats, parents willing <3)
