Dog Mom/servant

Pet care experience

I’ve raised tiny dachshunds and giant Great Danes. Until my dog passed this year, he was my baby and I catered to his every want/need. I have experience with special diets, feeding tubes, administering oral medications, IM injections, Sub-q boluses, insulin and post-op care in case your baby has any special needs. I am happy to take your dog to any vet appointments when needed, hiking, even a brewery if they enjoy being around lots of people and other dogs. I'm also happy to take care of kitties and have taken care of all types of pets from turtles to goats to chickens. I adore all animals and I would love to meet yours! If I’m unavailable or not a good fit for any reason, I’m happy to refer you to another great sitter!

Laura was such a great help with our older dog Blaze while we were out of town!! She was early for each visit and made sure to give him lots of love and attention. My husband and I will 100% be booking her again in the future!!

STOP! Do not look any further for the most incredible fur baby sitter you will find in the 35242 area and beyond!!!. I don't even know where to begin except to say that she will take care of your baby like he/she were her own...and they will wonder why she doesn't live with you 24/7 365!! She didn't even flinch at the 3 page typed out notes that this nervous puppy momma left for her during her visit. And can I say that my puppy was worn out with all of the play she gave him. I love that!! Thank you Laura for making this easy on me and Maverick. It was hard to leave him but all of the pictures and videos make it seem like I'm still right there with him ?
