Information Laura R. would like to know about your pet

When I take care of your pets, I'll ask you some questions about their daily habits, whether they have any particular allergies, any fears, and maybe the number of their trusted veterinarian.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether it's a fun walk, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to help your pet feel relaxed, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. After every visit, I'll send you photos and an update so you know exactly how your furry family member is doing.

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Laura, originally from Italy and now happily living in Palm Harbor. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs—and I truly enjoy getting to know each one. Whether it's a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or simply spending quality time together, I'll care for your pet with patience, kindness, and lots of love.

I am so glad I found Laura. We have had a hard time finding a dog sitter since moving to Florida, but she has been amazing. My dog is stubborn and difficult, but she knows exactly how to handle him, and he loves staying with her. She treats him like her own, always sends updates, and gives me total peace of mind. She is definitely my go-to dog sitter, and I wouldn’t trust my boy with anyone else..

Laura is amazing! She was on time. Had great communication at all her visits and our dogs love her. She helped us this week with our brand new puppy and older dog. I knew just what to expect with her drop in service and our family felt very comfortable having her in our home. We hope to use Laura again in the future.
