Pet care experience

Will treat your pets like my own 💕

I love animals... I have degrees in Animal Science as well as Business with a focus on Human Resource Management. My full time job is FP&A / IS. I work a hybrid schedule (in office and remote). I currently have two goldendoodle dogs. Very friendly and trained with up-to-date vaccines. Finn is 12, 65# and going blind hence all the runners throughout my house since he cannot see my dark wood floors. Riley is 8, 60# and loves playing with toys. Years ago, I had two Maine coon mixed adopted from a the cat house on the kings rescue (feral momma). I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. Showed livestock through college. Worked on a farm and cared for the horses, sheep, pigs including the birthing barn. I can administer meds/shots as needed for your pet’s health issues. I used to foster dogs for various rescues but now I primarily volunteer with many rescue organizations by doing transports, mostly to Fresno or Bakersfield and occasionally to LA, the bay or nearby states. I own my own home with a nice fenced yard. I have a baby gate on the large primary bath entry or crates if needed. Dogs have the run of the house (supervised) and backyard. Lots of toys to play with, fetch, and walks. Have AirTags available to put on your dogs’ collar if they are a flight risk. I love taking my dogs to work or on road trips, errands, beach days, rocky hill or the national parks. My couches are covered in waterproof covers so I allow dogs on furniture but if you do not, let me know and I will do the same for consistency. Couch covers are laundered between dogs being boarded. All dog beds are covered with waterproof crib sheets and laundered between dogs so one dog is not sleeping in another dogs’ scent. I have regular bowls and slow feeders and I provide treats but if your dog only eats certain treats, let me know. No need to bring a bed, crate, bowls, treats, etc since I have all that covered.

Highly recommend Laura for dog sitting. She has cared for our Goldendoodle several times and she takes exceptional care of him. She is very knowledgeable and goes over and above with quality care every time.

We left our 6 month old puppy for the first time, and Laura took great care of her. She loved our pup well, worked on training, and provided us with photos and videos all through our trip. We are grateful!

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs have run of the house and yard(supervised) and they spend the days indoors. It’s too hot in the valley during the summers for dogs to be outside. Have a fully fenced yard. Dogs get walks daily if not too hot. Usually do two feedings per day each in a separate location. Have a dog with dietary restrictions and some vision issues so used to handling dogs with special needs. I will follow any instructions provided to properly care for your pets.
