Patient pet care w/ fenced yard !
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm a proud parent to spunky hound mix rescue and west virginia lab mix! Please let me know if you're interested in drop-in/walking socialization and playtime with my dogs or without them. It would be my pleasure to care for your pet, particularly in these trying times, as we navigate these ever-evolving work schedules. I have a lot of experience with puppies, senior dogs, picky cats, and variety of pet personalities. I'm available for walks, visits, and continuing any training or games. And of course, all the belly rubs, love, and attention the pet needs. I have a fenced yard, am near a dog park, and Allen Pond. For our meetups and when I care for your pet I will use hand-sanitizer and a mask to ensure your, your home, and my own safety. I'm fully vaccinated but will remain masked when meeting until further changes occur. If there are any additional precautions you request, please let me know.
Reviews
Laura is a fantastic, reliable, and trustworthy dog walker. I’m grateful for the immense care she takes with my dog on her walk each week!
My dog walker was awesome!!!! Super friendly and kept me up to date with everything… I recommend her to anyone that needs help with their fur baby!
I cant say enough great things about Laura! She is just a pleasure to work with. We have a "special needs" dog who can be tough to handle and Laura was a star. She took it all in stride and took great care of Barney while we were away. I would recommend her 100% and hope to have the opportunity to work with her again.
Laura was great—-

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We will have extensive conversations about your animal's needs, preferences, personality, and quirks. I have trained two puppies and incorporate positive training into our dog's life. What I do for your pet will depend on what we discuss and what you prefer, whether it's on your walks or at my home. Questions and concerns we will discuss: Triggers? Crating? Potty trained? Training? Medications? Allergies? Favorite games, activities, snacks? Potty frequency? Energy levels? How's the pet with other animals, critters, and people?
Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet
How is your dog with strangers/passerbyers? How about other dogs? Squirrels? Leash/potty trained? Triggers? Preferences? Any personal dog parenting tips you'd like me to know?
A typical day
Walks through the neighborhood, in Allen Pond, or at the dog park if you want! Supervised naps, playtime, mealtime, and belly rubs for longer stays or on those super-hot or cold days. Let me know if you have training activities and we can do that too :)
