About
Because I work from home, I can be with your pets 24/7 if necessary. I "raised" 2 dogs, 3 cats and other assorted pets so I know how needy they can get, especially when their family is away! I've also been a homeowner for 30 years so am very experienced in every possible potential issue that might arise while house sitting. I will treat your home and pets like my own! And I raised 2 daughters as a single mom.
I don't currently have any pets and really miss the unconditional love and soothing presence that they provide. Many of my clients have been new to the area and don't know people to rely on while traveling. I have relocated several times for work so can relate to the challenge of finding someone you can trust in a new area. Providing peace of mind gives me a great sense of satisfaction.
FYI I don't do daily visits/walking, just days & overnights with a 2-3 day minimum depending on location.

I would highly recommend Laura for dog walking and dog sitting services. She goes far above and beyond with what she does and really cares about your pets.
The first time she dog sat for us our flight was delayed and extra day and she was willing to stay and take care of them since we didn't have any family in the area to help us out.
She had also been scheduled to dog sit for us when I was going to have a planned C-section and I ended up having an unplanned one a week earlier she was out of town for business. When I texted her to see if she was in town and available she was on her way back from out-of-town business trip and she came directly from the airport without going home to go stay with our dogs for the night. She also had a genuine interest in us and our family and asked how her baby and I were doing.
She provides great communication as she sits for your pets and I trust her 100% caring for our home and our 2 dogs. Since we had just relocated to the area and didn't know anybody out here to help us out this past year so lucky to find her. She drives from Seattle to Renton to dog sit at our house and only wished she lived closer to help us out for daytime dog walks.
I would highly recommend hiring her!

Laura is phenomenal. We had her house/pet sit for our two Boston Terriers who are both deaf. The older one needs eye meds every 3-4 hrs. We were gone for 11 days and not accessible unless a dire emergency. Laura sent regular emails keeping us updated on what they were doing and how things were going. She fully understood our anxiety in leaving them and did an outstanding job reassuring us. She left the house looking great and even had a pot of homemade soup waiting for us on our exhausting return in the middle of the night. She is such a caring and conscientious caregiver. She even gave us TWO meet and greet appointments prior. We highly recommend her services. She will be our "baby" sitter, for certain, in the future! Bob & Cindy and Bonnie & Gracie

Laura stayed at our house with our 2 italian greyhounds. (They are a bit high maintainance but also older dogs) I was nervous leaving them but they did great. Laura went above and beyond for us , we felt really comfortable having her care for them and they loved her! Thank you Laura, we would love to have you again :)

Laura took wonderful care of our house and elderly cat while she housesat for us recently. She texted me every day during our absence to let me know how our cat was doing and was very reassuring. She is professional, pleasant, and responsible, and I felt very comfortable having her in our house
