+R-Oriented & Respectful Care
Pet care experience
PLEASE ASK ABOUT MY 30% DISCOUNT FOR PEOPLE 65 AND UP! I am a certified dog trainer. I train dogs using evidence-based, positive reinforcement, fear-free techniques. My pet care experience includes the daily care, feeding, and enrichment of dogs, cats, and ducks. I have been an animal lover and pet owner for many years. I have been a professional on-leash dog walker, and an off-leash walker for dog groups where permitted in the local parks. I want to know what engages and comforts your pet, so I give them the fun and enrichment they deserve. I am comfortable handling pets with special needs, and have helped cats and dogs with their recovery from medical issues, giving them medicines, special food, wound care and special exercise, as directed by a veterinary specialist. I value communication with my clients about their pets' very particular needs. When you hire me, your pet comes first!

About Lauri M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions and requests regarding feeding, playtime, or special instructions for walks. For their safety, dogs will be leashed each time they go outside, or are transported by car. They will remain on-leash at all times while outside unless expressly instructed otherwise by client. Cats will be kept indoors unless expressly instructed otherwise by the client. The home will be kept quiet, no loud music, no online gaming, and certainly no guests. I will crate the dog(s) or cat(s) if requested by the client. My goal is to keep your pet as happy and calm as possible, and reduce any stress caused by your absence.
Information Lauri M. would like to know about your pet
Providing information about the energy level, preferred type of play, and preferred reward (treats, toys, or praise) will help me provide the best experience for your pet. Any medical conditions or allergies should be mentioned. Reactive dogs are no problem! Please tell me about the things and places I should avoid in order to help your pet feel their best.
A typical day
Enrichment games, exploring local paths and parks, outdoor nose games, and practicing leash manners with positive reinforcement techniques. I sometimes use long-lines on open paths to allow more room for sniffing and exploring.
