Pet care experience
Your Poodle's Home Away from Home
I lost my beloved standard poodle of 12 years in 2022. I am not a full time pet sitter, but I would love to care for your well-behaved poodle, poodle mix or hypoallergenic dog in my home when you are out of town. I live near Twin Peaks and Sutro Forest and would enjoy taking your dog for daily walks in and around my neighborhood. I miss having dog energy in my home!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We love Laura and have rebooked with her several times now! Our dog always comes home so happy after spending tons of time outside on walks, hikes, and adventures around SF. Laura is incredibly attentive and always goes above and beyond. She’s also training certified and has been great about reinforcing commands and behaviors we’re working on at home, which we really appreciate. She even makes fresh homemade dog treats for her guests sometimes! Laura has absolutely become our go-to sitter, and we always feel great knowing our dog is in such good hands with her.
Will continue to rebook. Laura is excellent with our dog and can meet all her 'special' needs.
Laura has watched Luna a dozen times. She is wonderful and takes such great care of her. Luna runs to her and Laura has great communication. The best there is!
Laura was the absolute best! She took such good care of Ziggy and brought him on so many walks which he loved. Thank you again Laura!
Laura is wonderful! She is my go to sitter! Luna now runs to her.
Laura is the best ever!!!

Schedule
I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so it is easy to care for your dog and give them ongoing attention. My other family members are also dog lovers who enjoy lavishing attention on our canine houseguests. Your dog would rarely, if ever, be left home on their own. I live with my husband, and 2 college age children, who are home summers and holidays.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My family home is gated in. I do not have other pets at home, and I do not take dogs from more than one client at a time unless you OK it. Your dog will not have to negotiate new relationships if that’s a concern. Our doggie guests sleep wherever they are most comfortable, whether in my room, a crate or a dog bed. I have 2 Sealy brand dog beds and several toys on hand.
A typical day
I typically walk the dogs I care for 4x per day, giving them at least one hour long walk and several 15 minute walks a minimum of every 4 hours. I would walk your dog around Sutro Forest, Twin Peaks or Sutro Tower, all of which are nearby. I sometimes take dogs on additional outings to Golden Gate Park, Land's End, or the beach. For especially active dogs, I can do 3 mile runs in the panhandle. At home, your dog can play with toys, keep us company, and snuggle.

- Let me know if your dog has any behavioral or medical issues. Is your dog good on leash? How do they respond to encounters with other dogs on walks? Are they good with recall? And can I take them on a 3 mile run?
