Great with needy dogs!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Laura and I’m a rising senior at GW. This summer (and school yr) I’m living in DC, but am without a job so I have 24/7 availability to take care of your dogs. I can’t wait to meet them :) I adopted a 11 year old arthritic dachshund in high school who was very needy (needed medicine, had to be walked frequently, ate a special diet). I’ve also cared for neighbors dogs (Cavalier King Charles and a Pomeranian). I enjoy a dog who loves attention and cuddles!

I think Laura would make a great dog sitter, she loves all animals and dogs are her favorite! She has had her own family dogs since she was young, and treated them as other family members. I would trust Laura to take care of my dogs while on vacation or if I am unavailable, and I think she would do a great job looking after other people’s pets as well!

Laura is a strong candidate for any dog caregiving opportunity. I have seen her take care of many dogs, even her own and she is knowledgeable, caring and loving to each dog she encounters. She rescued a weiner dog named Reno and flew across states to give him a better life. Laura is consistent, timely, responsible and will provide unparalleled care for your dog.

Laura is one of the most loving dog owners I have ever met. She adopted a senior wiener dog who had many disabilities, and she cared for all of his needs excellently. She is very attentive to a dog's needs, as she is an experienced dog owner herself. Any dog owner should be happy to have her looking after their dog.
