Spacious Fenced yard & Loving Home

Pet care experience

Hi! Thank you for visiting my profile and since you're coming across my Rover page I believe it is safe to assume you and I have at least one thing in common: our love, appreciation and care for our furry pawls! My name is Laura and I am Cal Psychology and Education Alumni working part time as a behavioral therapist for autistic children a couple times a week while mostly at home the remaining time preparing and studying for the GRE (graduate report exam) which will eventually allow me to start my PsyD program! Ideally I will become a clinical psychologist working with Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) is a type of therapy that involves animals as a form of treatment. This is the way I found to dedicate myself to compromise between my two passions: Helping people AND being around animals! After all... What better way to heal than experiencing the unconditional love and non-judgmental acceptance of such pure and genuine creatures?! I have had dogs, cats, chinchillas, hamsters and other pets (including a rescue flying marsupial known as "sugar glider") sine the age of 6. I am originally from Brazil and grew up surrounded by both domestic and wild animals and couldn't picture it being any different! We live in Redwood Heights and a big yard with beautiful trees and a small creek provide a great playground for our sweet pups and for yours. The yard is fully fenced and secured. We also have a small koi pond. We encourage you to come and meet us before booking. You will see that your furry kid has plenty of room to play and sunbathe with ours and a safe place to crash after all their activities together. We live very close to Joaquin Miller Park, one of our favorite spots for our own girls to socialize. We used this service for our dogs several times and we know how important it is for our pups to be in safe hands and good environment while we are away. It means peace of mind! Welcome to our green spot in Oakland hills! Enjoy your own vacay!

Laura is wonderful, lovely, warm, loves dogs. She has a big yard where the dogs can run around and play. I felt like I am leaving my dog at a friends home! Definitely recommend, five stars!

Laura is exceptional. I know Zoey is safe, active, loved and cared for when she is with Laura. Laura has great kindness and is very responsible. I always want Zoey to stay at her house.

Laura is fantastic and our dog Olive clearly had a great time with her. Laura was easy to communicate with, and we felt super comfortable leaving Olive in her care!! Laura's house is very dog-friendly and they have a great yard for the pups to play in. We could tell Olive missed Laura as we drove away!!!
