I have always loved animals..

Pet care experience

I am a major animal lover....I grew up with pets, I took care of pets and I have pets in my own home. I like to cuddle pets and I like to spoil pets. I am willing to treat your pets as if they were my own.. I am flexible and willing to work with who ever decides to hire me as their pet walker or care taker. Your pet will be well taken care of. I currently have a small dog of my own that I adopted through the Humane Society. He is a extra special dog. He has just one eye but you would never know it by how his personality is. I believe that all dogs are special no matter what and I am more than wiling to watch those dogs that need the extra love and kindness. I also have a son who also loves animals like I do. WE both are willing to treat your dog with the kindness and caring that they deserve and do are best to keep them from feeling home sick while you are gone. I look forward to meeting and loving your pet.

Laura is always wonderful. She was so flexible and took care of our dogs an extra day when our flight was delayed until the next morning. She’s our go-to every time we travel!

Safety, trust & environment

I always follow the owners instructions. When I let a client's dog out in my fenced in area I always stand by the door to make sure nothing bad happens to them. When I go to a client's home I am respectful and spend as much time with their pet as possible when I am there.

Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much information on your et as possible. When your pet stays at my house I do like them to have flea/tick medicine on or in them(if they take the medicine by mouth) because I do have deer out back at times and they do come close to the fenced in area sometimes. I would hate to have a client's pet get fleas or a tick when in my care and I have a dog of my own and I know how I would feel if my dog caught fleas or a tick while in someone else's care. I do like to know their feeding schedule and how often they need to go outside.

A typical day

I like to take walks when at all possible and I try to play with the clients pets. I treat them as if they are my own..
