Pet care experience
I am an experienced dog handler, trainer, and groomer. Veterinary trained. Proficient in medicating senior/diabetic canines & other animals. I offer bathing, grooming, nail trims & ear flushing for an additional fee. PLEASE NOTE: I activily promote my dog business personaly as well as through Rover.com. Therefore my booking score shows a lower rating on Rover. The majority of my clients book from my personal website. Please do not let the low booking score be a deciding factor on your decision. I have many reviews and testimonials. Thank you for your consideration and interest. Videos and pics will be sent to your phone/email in order to keep you informed of your pet's welfare and to keep in touch. EVERYONE RECEIVES UPDATES AND PICS EVERYDAY. I do not know why Rover has my percentage at 10%. 100% of my clients whether new or established receive photos daily, multiple times. Able to take care of multiple types of pets. References available Background Verified Why I love dog sitting: I have been working with dogs for over 30 years. I have raised Dobermans, Fox Terriers, Mini-Dachshunds, Bull Terriers & Pit Bulls to name a few. Currently I have a German Short-Haired Pointer. I am a former Vet /Boarding Technician that uses my experience in the field of being a Professional Pet Care Provider. My experience administering medication: As a former Vet Tech, I have administered many medications by mouth, subcutaneous & intramuscular. I have vast experience working with Diabetic & Senior dogs.
Reviews
Laura was friendly and very professional with us! She immediately had a connection with our girl Chante. We would not hesitate to call on her again.
Laura is simply the best! I know my critters are safe in her hands. She's watchful and knows if something is out of sorts. And if it is, she lets you know. Thanks for taking such good care of our crew!
thanks so much for the over-the-top service and care for all of our critters :) We appreciate you!!!
What a joy to have Laura take care of my crew! Everyone was fed, played with and most importantly cared for. #PeaceOfMind Thank you Laura for going the extra mile!

Safety, trust & environment
My home is pet friendly. Pets have free roam of my house, bed, and fenced yard. I have a doggie screen on the patio door that they can use at their leisure when weather permits. I have a basket of toys and interactive treat games for those that are high energy. All floors, crates, feed/water dishes are sanitized and cleaned with Kennel-Sol.
Home
Information Laura G. would like to know about your pet
I enjoy all breeds of dogs. My concerns regarding any dog would be of course, bite history, digger/jumper, medications, meal time, fears and activities the dog enjoys. I treat all the dogs I take care for as if they were my own. My joy comes from when they see me and they are just as excited as when they see their Owners. I have worked with all types of personalities and realize that a timid or aggressive dog may just be afraid. I am willing to invest the time and effort to make each and every dog I take care for, able to trust me and be comfortable with my care.
A typical day
BOARDING/DAY CARE: I only allow pets to stay in my home from ONE FAMILY at a time. I work from home, so I will be available to your pet 99% of the time unless I have errands. I typically work around my clients needs for my personal time. I have a groomed, fenced grass yard to explore. Extra sitting services Absolutely! I also offer bathing, ear flushes, nail trims & anal gland cleaning. No additional charge for medication administration.

Availability
Pet Care is my main job, I am home 99% of the day. I realize that many dogs have separation anxiety and need someone to be there for their comfort.
