Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Laura, I'm an energetic and experienced pet care provider. I cemented my love for dogs at age 9 while beginning a pet sitting business with neighborhood friends (we read one too many Baby Sitters Club books!) to today where I am the owner of my own gentle and friendly papillon. While I adore dogs of all breeds and sizes I have a particular affinity for small breeds and am attuned to their special quirks and needs. Because I have my own petite pup I only accept dogs roughly 15 lbs and under with some exception for some breeds slightly above that range. I know this is a scary time for many dog owners who are concerned about social distancing and ensuring their pup stays safe. I am too! I am following all CDC guidelines including mask wearing, social distancing from other humans outside, and staying away from highly trafficked areas. I will wipe down your pups paws (and my own!) when returning inside and take utmost care when handling any items brought from your home. ** Social distance, no contact drop off always available as requested** If a puppy joined your home during quarantine I'd love to meet your new addition! I have lots of puppy experience and can ensure he/she gets enough walks during the day to keep up with his potty training. From the casual daytime playdate to a week-long retreat, I can't wait to provide your small pup with the care it needs. I am happy to provide as many photo and video updates as desired during your dog's stay with me and will ensure your dog has as many walk excursions, treats, and love as it needs. I look forward to meeting your sweet dog!
Reviews
Laura is amazing. I would give her 6 stars if I could. She showered Clementine with love and care, and Clementine felt safe and right at home. I was able to relax while we were away, knowing that Clementine was in excellent hands. I look forward to booking with Laura again!
This was the third time Laura watched our dog. We always know that he is in great hands and can see by the photos that he feels perfectly at home in her apartment. Laura makes sure that he gets in plenty of exercise and stays well fed and hydrated. Our pup also loves hanging out with Laura’s own little one, Blue.
Laura was amazing as always! Bean had even more medications this time and Laura handled them all perfectly. Bean seemed super happy snuggled up with Laura and Blue. So thankful I have Laura and I always trust her (and Blue!) to take great care of Bean.
Bella had her second stay with Laura and Blue, and it was fabulous! Laura takes great care of Bella and sends detailed daily updates with plenty of pictures. Bella returns relaxed and happy.

Anything else to keep your pup smiling and tail wagging?
