Information Laura V. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but I heart rescue animals. I sometimes have weekly scheduled daycare clients so if your dog is reactive or aggressive towards other dogs please check with me first.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs, physically and mentally. We’ll play a bunch of games and check out all the new smells in my neighborhood.

Pet care experience

I love all animals. My bed is always open. It may be crowded as my first grader and cat usually find their way in there also, but the more the merrier. I also have a fenced in yard that dogs may use to roam and grab some fresh air! I do not potty train and cannot accept dogs with incontinent issues. Please be honest. My cat has been around other cats and gets along very well with them. He loves to play. He gets along well with calm and smaller dogs but adapts well. If your dog does not tolerate cats or is aggressive with small children, I am not the sitter for you. If you have an active dog that needs runs I would be happy to jog several miles with him/her.
