Your Dog is One of the Family
Pet care experience
We sit SMALL DOGS ONLY! We have 1 small dog of our own - a rescue chihuahua named Timmy. He is very friendly to other dogs and loves to play. We walk your dog 8 AM, 3 PM, 7 PM with a quick potty break before bed. We work from home so your best friend will have plenty of companionship and supervision. We have 2 cats that are inside/outside, and they keep out of the way of dogs they don't know . We are located in the Carmel Farms area of Douglasville. We will feed your dog per your directions and are happy to give medication as needed (not shots). About this sitter: My partner and I are into nature, sustainability and value the relationship between all forms of life. I have my own private practice as a registered dietitian and I am able to work from home, which gives me the opportunity to be there for my pets and yours. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. My parents had a Dachsund named Hansi before I was born and I remember him as part of my earliest memories. I had a beautiful Husky/Samoyed mix named Koya, and then as a young teen I had a dear Great Dane named Mandy who was about as big as I was. Then we had 2 longhaired Dachsunds. As an adult I had a big black purebred German Shepherd. My dear Holly the Smooth Fox Terrier passed away 3 years ago and I miss her so much. Timmy the little rescue Chihuahua is Top Dog now. About my yard We walk dogs rather than let them in the yard, since the fence is not small-dog proof! My experience administering medication Yes, although I'd rather not give shots. I'm a dietitian not a nurse ;>
Reviews
Laura is a very responsible, caring individual and pet owner. She has her own personal dogs and takes excellent care of them. I am a pet sitter too and would trust Laura to care for my personal dogs and cats. Laura has a pet friendly house and a fully fenced in backyard for the enjoyment of the dogs that staying in her home.
Laura was wonderful. She let us come and meet her dogs before our stay so that we could make sure that everybody was going to get along. She even sent texts and pictures to update me on how our dog was doing during our trip. Pete (our dog) came home in great shape, and it was so worth the peace of mind to know that she was taking such good care of him. I highly recommend her!
Laura is a great dog lover who really cares about our Abby. She goes out of her way to make sure that Abby is happy and having a good time during her stay. Highly recommended.

Information Laura W. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know about his or her personality (dogality?) and any special needs. Of course I would want to know that their shots are up to date and any relevant medical history. I'd also want to make sure it was OK to take them to the vet or after hours vet if any emergency arose. We like all breeds, but because our dog door is small we prefer to sit small dogs. If a large dog is very laid back we might consider them.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We walk around our tree-lined neighborhood, which is cul de sacs and quiet streets. Your dog's sleeping arrangement We'd like your dog to bring their comfy bed from home, or a familiar blanket with your smell. If your dog is crate trained a crate is fine. Timmy likes to sleep on the couch in the living room. Your dog is welcome to sleep where he likes. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home so am home most of the day. We get plenty of dog-loving time in!
