Experienced + passionate pet sitter

Pet care experience

I managed a pet sitting service for 4 years with more than 400 clients and owned my own pet sitting service for 2 years, providing above and beyond pet care: dog walking, boarding, overnight house sitting, cat sitting, and other small pet care. I also take great pictures of your pets and provide detailed notes while you're away! As a pet owner myself, I know first hand how hard it is to leave your pets at home. If I am to stay at your home, I can also take care of daily house duties like rotating lights, bringing in mail/packages, and watering plants. (I'm a skilled plant owner as well!) I'm trained in pet CPR and first aid and am skilled at recognizing dog behavioral cues. While I'm not a trainer, I'm happy to work with your dog on existing commands and basic commands. Please check out my former clients on my instagram! @amazingpetcompanion

Laura was amazing. Our two furbabies barely noticed that we were gone, and with all the cute photos that Laura sent, we could tell they were in good hands. Would definitely work with Laura again.

Laura was a great pet sitter. Laura was professional and easy to work with and I felt comfortable leaving her the keys to the place. Our cat even broke a space jar and Laura cleaned the whole thing up. Very much appreciated and I would definitely use her again.

Laura saved the day! She was incredibly responsive and understood exactly what to do. I would 100% reach out again.

Information Laura W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any issues with other dogs especially for boarding. I am more than happy to provide basic training reinforcement while your pup is in my care. If there are any health concerns, please let me know as well!

A typical day

Your dog will love to have long walks in yours (or my!) neighborhood with my dog Panda (if they get along). We also love to frequent Point Isabel and various regional parks in the East Bay. Sibley Volcanic reserve is a personal favorite! We'll go for at least a mile each walk, but it's frequently closer to 2-3 miles!
