About: I have over 10 years of pet care. From pets to walks to giving meds, I have loads experience with pets. I love treating them with respect and giving them that extra attention they deserve! I am usually off by 3pm and enjoy evening walks. I think it would be really great to get back into taking walks. I am very excited about this opportunity I like to treat animals with respect. I think it’s very important to create boundaries especially in a home where they do not like pets on their furniture.

“Laura, is the BEST! She has helped me numerous times last minute when I can’t make it home in time for their third walk of the day. I fully trust her with my special-needs dogs, and they love her to pieces”

About: Hi! My name is Karen and I’ve had a lifelong love for animals. I grew up with pets my whole life. I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also have experience volunteering in animal shelters, where I worked with a variety of pets and learned how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each animal’s behavior. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, or just some extra care and attention, I will treat them like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

I also have cat trees, cat toys, dog toys, and a dog friendly pool to keep pets happy and entertained. For comfort and safety, I have a crate available if needed and a separate studio space for my own pets when boarding, creating a relaxed environment for everyone. I’m also live near a park and can take pets on walks for fresh air and exercise. I always follow each pet’s routine and give them plenty of love, attention, and care, with regular updates for peace of mind.

Anabelia has been wonderful to work with. Her customer service is excellent, she is incredibly patient and kind, and she takes great care of Kiwi. Kiwi has a lot of puppy energy and some anxiety, and Anabelia handles her with confidence and care. She’s also been very accommodating with my last-minute requests, which I truly appreciate. Highly recommend!

Laura is amazing and we truly miss her already. I have three special needs fur babies and she took such good care of them every time whether it was dog walking or house sitting. I trusted her in my home with them and out on walks which my two dogs are very demanding as one is blind and one has ptsd. She always kept them safe. We love and miss you Laura!
