Availability
[Sit. Stay. Play!] I am always on the go and am willing to make reasonable and fair accommodations . We all have our priorities and sometimes unforeseen issues pop up. My flexibility allows me to build in time for you pet’s needs (calm and unintimidating entrances, poo patience, extra sniffing time, positively directing excitement, ensuring food/water availability depending on your request and schedules). For Peace of Mind, safety and well-being, changes/ questions/ observations are noted and will be communicated to you. I prefer to do a brief follow-up within a few days once a booking has wrapped- Regrouping, touching base to share more specifics is valuable feedback.

Safety, trust & environment
[Respect the Territory] I encourage open, honest dialogue. Ultimately we work together to achieve the best outcomes for pet and person. • I prefer to have a Meet & Greet first; we are able to meet and curious pets can comfortably and casually observe me as well. Teach me how to best care for your pets. • Please discuss routine, behavioral or physical needs, play and exercise activities, emergency plans or other information to assist you and your pet.

Information Laura W. would like to know about your pet
Talk about Bruno! Your dog's on-leash and off-leash behavior can be night-and-day. A couch-potato at home may be excitable and reactant when encountering new places, people, and dogs. Reasonably provide advance notice of a dog's past or potential behaviors because... = It's ok if we need to fly solo and avoid social interactions. Keeping it low-profile is sometimes the right choice. That's ok! (There's only so much small talk...) =
A typical day
Depending on the environment or season, we may nose art on the windows of my car, meet a snowman, pee 2 times in the first 5 minutes and go in to Overtime pretending to look for the Holy Grail of Poop Spots, (be prepared for me to ask about their urinary and defecation schedules) Get the wiggles out before leashing up. When this inevitably increases the wiggles, be prepared for the energy to pour out. Maintain composure and confidence. Urgency and enthusiasm starts to level out at different rates per dog for varying reasons so I am prepared to lead and guide your pup. We work in photo-shoots throughout each visit and I love sending updates to you. I am also prepared for your cat to demand scratches and make biscuits on me and then side-eye me as the sleep with me pinned. Worth it.

Experienced pet enthusiast! 🐾
Pet care experience
[Everyone deserves a fair shake] As a former veterinary assistant, experiences gained through the years gives me a unique perspective and sense of duty to pets and owners alike. I love my ability to pivot and provide prompt and adaptive support. • My other qualifications include current certification of Dog and Cat First Aid, ability to administer oral medications, eye and ear drops, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections. • I adjust my approach, handling, and tone accordingly for each pet. I am observant and my body language and tone naturally adapt to promote the comfort, sense of security and peace of mind for pets and owners alike. • I will always try do what I can to provide support and resources are key to establishing framework of care anns understanding and lessen uncertainty or anxiety. I wish to share strategies, support, and patience and boost your confidence.

Couldn't ask for better, more loving caregiver.
Laura is amazing taking care of my babies
Laura did an amazing job taking care of my 2 babies. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than her and will be using again !!
Above and beyond! Laura is the absolute BEST! She took amazing care of our fur babies. Her communication was perfect and she gave us regular updates letting us know our girls were happy and healthy! We had an amazing and stress free vacation knowing our doggies and house were in Laura’s hands!! 🩷🩷
