Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet sitting with a lifetime dog Mom
What sets me apart is the combination of my calm, nurturing approach and my hands‑on experience with pets at every life stage. I’m not just a sitter, I’m someone who truly pays attention to what each animal needs to feel safe, understood, and cared for. Here are a few things that make my care unique: 🐾 Puppy Training & Routine Building I’m experienced with young pups who need structure, patience, and consistency. Whether it’s reinforcing crate training, practicing basic commands, or establishing bathroom and feeding routines, I help puppies gain confidence and learn good habits early. 🧡 Senior & Special‑Care Experience I know how to adapt care for older pets who move a little slower or need extra gentleness. This includes administering meds (oral, topical, or drops), monitoring mobility, offering joint‑friendly walks, and creating calm, predictable environments that help reduce stress. 🎯 Behavior‑Aware, Needs‑Focused Care I pay close attention to body language, triggers, and comfort levels; especially with anxious pets or those who need a slower introduction. My goal is always to build trust, not rush interactions. 📋 Clear Communication for Peace of Mind You’ll always know how your pet is doing. I send regular updates, photos, and notes so you feel connected even when you’re away. 🏡 Respect for Your Home & Routines I follow your instructions carefully: feeding schedules, training cues, medical needs, house rules, and preferred routines, keeping life consistent for your pet while you’re gone.

Laura and her son did a great job of sitting my Doodle, they have giant fenced in back yard to accommodate any dogs
Laura is truly incredible—there’s no other way to put it. Finding someone you trust with your dog is a big deal, and from the moment she started watching my dog Fritter, I knew we had found someone special. She goes far beyond basic dog sitting. Laura is attentive, caring, and genuinely loves what she does—and it shows in every interaction. Fritter absolutely adores her, which says everything. I always get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing my dog is not just being looked after, but actually cared for like family. What stands out most is how dependable and thoughtful she is. Whether it’s sticking to routines, giving extra attention, or just making sure Fritter feels comfortable and happy, Laura handles it all effortlessly. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and amazing with dogs, Laura is hands down the best choice. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with Fritter.
Laura is so kind and affectionate to our little ones. I trust her with them in or out of our home. She’s reliable and accommodating and just so sweet!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are beyond grateful for Laura! It’s rare to find someone who doesn’t just walk your dogs, but truly cares for them like they’re their own. From the very beginning, Laura has been reliable, attentive, and so genuinely loving toward my pups. I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for every time. The updates, the little details, and the obvious bond she’s built with my dogs mean everything to me. My puppers absolutely adore Laura — and honestly, so do I. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
I can't thank Laura enough for the exceptional care she provided while I was away! From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such capable hands. Laura went above and beyond in every aspect. She maintained their routine, ensuring they received their meals on time and enjoyed their walks. My dogs absolutely adored her, and it was clear they felt comfortable and happy in her presence. She even took the time to send me updates and adorable photos, which made my time away much more enjoyable. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals shone through, and I returned home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. I highly recommend Laura to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. Thank you, Laura, for being such a wonderful friend and caretaker!
Laura is a true dog person and I couldn’t recommend her more to care for animals. Not only does she care for all dogs, she LOVES them so deeply. Laura is not afraid to be assertive to help a dog in need and she never is too shy to help. My dogs love Laura, my cocker spaniel especially. Laura does fabulous with all dog energy levels, I have one chill dog and one hyper and she never tires of either. If you’re looking for a true dog lover to help you with your fur babies, Laura is your gal!

Schedule
🐾 Caring for Pets Fits Right Into My Day Pet care blends naturally into my routine since I work from home full‑time. I’m around all day, which means I can easily step away for potty breaks 🚶♀️, walks 🌿, playtime 🎾, or just some extra love and attention 💛 whenever your pet needs it. I like keeping pets on a steady routine, so I make sure feeding times 🍽️, outdoor time ☀️, and check‑ins 👀 stay consistent. With a flexible schedule, I can adjust to whatever your pet needs; more exercise, extra cuddles 🤗, or a midday drop‑in. It never feels like I’m squeezing anything in… caring for pets just naturally fits into my day. 💕

🐾 How I Care for Pets (In Your Home or Mine!) When I care for pets in their own home, I make sure their normal routine stays the same so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, meds, and all the little quirks that make your pet who they are. My goal is always to keep things calm, consistent, and stress‑free while you’re away. I also offer care in my home for pets who are toddler‑friendly and dog‑friendly. I live on an acre lot with a large fenced‑in backyard, which gives dogs plenty of safe space to play, explore, and burn off energy. It’s perfect for pups who enjoy room to roam or lounging outside in the sun. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, they’ll get lots of attention, love, and quality time. I’m around throughout the day to keep them happy, active, and cared for.
