Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in your home. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and always make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, calm environment. I respect your space—leaving your home just as I found it—and keep doors locked, alarms set, and your pet safely indoors or secured outside as requested. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to body language, especially with shy or anxious pets. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

A Typical Day with Me 🐶 Whether it’s a walk, or a quick drop-in, I tailor each day to your dog’s needs, energy level, and personality. For dog walks, we’ll enjoy a safe and stimulating stroll—sniff breaks, potty time, and a little exercise to burn off that extra wiggle energy. I always keep a watchful eye on surroundings and your pup’s comfort, making sure we return happy and refreshed. During drop-in visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of play or cuddle time (depending on their mood). I also check on anything else you’d like—mail, lights, or plant watering—so you can have peace of mind while away. No matter the service, your pup gets one-on-one attention, lots of love, and consistent communication with photo updates—so you always know they’re in good hands. 🐾

New Step Dog Mom/Pawsitively Tails

Pet care experience

It’s your new “Step Dog Mom” I believe every pet deserves Dog-Mom level care—the kind where they’re treated like family, not just a client. With years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your dog can truly relax. I’m extremely patient and gentle, whether I’m bonding with an anxious rescue, entertaining an energetic puppy, or tending to the needs of a sweet senior. I pay close attention to every detail, from their feeding schedule to their favorite belly rub spot, and I’m skilled at reading body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I provide regular updates, cute photos, and even fun paw report cards so you always know how your fur-baby is doing. Life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to be flexible and understanding when schedules shift. Most of all, I love building connections with each pet I care for—because to me, they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. 🐾

Laura is the best pet sitter ever. Its like she's a dog whisperer. When she met my Manny and Tinkerbell they instantly ran to her like they knew her already. Manny is very hard to please so when he jumped in her arms I knew she was going to be our sitter. Laura has been like family to my fur babies. Whenever I travel she is my go to sitter. She definitely knows how to comfort my Manny and Tink.

Laura is so such a sweet person!! She truly treats every fur baby like her own. We took my little Mia on walks while I took business meetings and I truly appreciate that. I would highly recommend her service to watch your fur baby. 💕
