Pet care experience

Will walk, run, or cuddle your pet!

Hi there! I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years and have loved animals my entire life. I’ve had dogs and a cat of my own for most of my adult years, and after they passed, it was too painful for me to become a pet owner again—so I get my “pet fix” by caring for others’ beloved companions. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I enjoy long walks, beach trips, and trail adventures—whatever activity your pet enjoys most! I’m also a runner, so if your dog prefers to pick up the pace, I’m happy to go for runs too. I have experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to gentle senior dogs and cats. I work at a school, so I’m available after 4 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends and holidays.

Safety, trust & environment

Laura always does a wonderful job with Mosey! She sends plenty of updates and Mo looks right at home with her in all of her pics ☺️ Mosey doesn’t even mind when we leave her because it means she gets to hang with Laura and Nani!

Laura couldn't be a better care taker for our dog. We know our little fur love is in excellent hands when she is with Laura. Thank you for always being amazing ❤
