About Laura

Experience: 8 yrs

Animals have always been a central part of my life, and providing them with a safe, structured, and loving environment is my top priority. I bring six years of professional experience owning and operating a successful dog daycare and in-home boarding business. This background gives me a deep understanding of canine behavior, pack dynamics, and how to properly assess a dog's body language and comfort levels. Whether your pet is a high-energy pup who needs structured exercise, a cat who thrives on a strict routine, or an animal navigating behavioral sensitivities, I am patient, calm, and highly adaptable. I am experienced in managing precise daily care routines, including specialized feeding schedules and administering medications. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you are away, knowing your pets are cared for by someone with true professional expertise. I pride myself on clear communication and am happy to send regular updates and photos according to your preferences!
