Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I love dogs. I grew up with a couple of labs at home and spent time working on friend's ranches with all of their canines, cats, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens and donkeys as well as ample time interacting with wild settings. Animals were an integral part of my upbringing and foundation. I enjoy being with the dogs at home as much as anywhere as I just like dogs (plus the opportunity to study somewhere else). As a high energy person dogs typically enjoy my outdoor treks outdoors and time spent interacting with the natural world as well. I’m also great with dogs with special needs. I’m a highly aware sensitive and work as a nurse so individualized care is no biggie. Shoot me a message if you any questions!

Laurel did cat sitting for us for 9 days and was very easy to coordinate with and communicate with, both before and during our trip. She asked good questions about how to care for our very old cat and house, and was very considerate about both. She was able to give our cat medicine in food, as well as the more difficult task of injecting fluids. We highly recommend her and have already rebooked her for an upcoming trip.

Laurel did a fantastic job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She sent us daily pictures and videos. She took Pascal on daily hikes and walks and we could tell how closely she bonded with him. Laurel is highly responsible and caring. We would recommend her in a heart best!

Laurel took great care of our pets and home while we were away for a week over Christmas. We came home to a clean house (she even cleaned our vaccuum) and happy pups and cat. Highly recommended :)

Information Laurel K. would like to know about your pet

I give specialized care. If you can show me how, I’m comfortable giving dogs meds, helping dogs with disabilities in their routines, as well as all the normal stuff.

A typical day

I like to walk with dogs, take them to the canal, hikes, fetch, and good around. I’m great with gentle dogs, shy dogs, traumatized dogs, aggressive dogs, social dogs, strong athletic dogs.
