Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s next best friend
I’ve been fortunate to have the chance to care for dogs, cats and farm animals throughout my life. I volunteered at a local animal shelter for four years, walking dogs and socializing cats. I also was a dog foster for the animal shelter for two years, fostering over two dozen dogs ranging from a pug to a Great Dane, and every type of dog in-between. This gave me of experience with dogs from different backgrounds, temperaments and confidence levels. I currently have five dogs of my own, and I’ve attended obedience training and agility training with them. I believe in positive reinforcement and meeting each dog where they’re at.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I think keeping your pet’s schedule and following their routines is the most important part of keeping them happy when you’re gone. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets, so regular photos and check ins are never a problem!
Ratings and reviews
Laura did an excellent job taking care of our fur babies while we were out of town! She did good on keeping us updated with pictures of them too We plan on rebooking her again for future visits
Traveling for my stepdaughter's destination wedding in Trenton, GA / Chattanooga TN and realized that the week long wedding plans involved 2 days where my dogs would be alone in our AIRBNB house for way too many hours for the rehearsal/cocktail evening 8 + hours and the wedding day 12+ hours. Hence, I went to my ROVER application I use while in my home state FL and searched who was near me that could do drop visits on both days to watch 3 dogs they had never met & in all home the dogs had only spent a few days in. LAURA to the rescue!!!!! She provided a courtesy meet & greet and seeing her handle all three dogs truly impressed me. All three of my dogs are seniors, Luna an American Bulldog 11 years and weighs 70 lbs, Maya a Pointer-Mix 9 years weighing 65 lbs and Lemon 11 year old Chihuahua that is both blind and loosing his hearing. Laura was mindful of each of their distinct personalities and even offered to give Lemon his heart medication if needed. She realized during the first drop in that Luna would take some gentle guidance to trust her as well as Lemon who on her own, Laura devised a method to get him outside to go have a bathroom break. All instructions and suggestions were followed with great care and she provided pictures & updates delivering me comfort. To be able to trust a stranger in a rented home and with your fur babies is not a situation one wants to be in but I had to think of the dogs needs and trust Laura. I AM SO GLAD I DID! If you are traveling in GA Trenton/Chattanooga area or ARE A LOCAL, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trusting your babies with LAURA, EYES CLOSED! She exudes, trust, kindness, confidence and animals know best! Thank you Laura, I wish you much success and you are definitely in this business for your love of animals. Godspeed!
