Pet care experience
* * * Experienced * * * Trusted * * * Insured * * * Hello fellow pet parents! My name is Laura, and I work full-time running my pet care service business. My husband, Kirkland, and I have been together since 2016 and share our lives with five fantastic fur kiddos:3 pups and 2 cats. Born and raised in North Carolina, I have been lucky enough to grow up around animals my entire life and knew from a very early age that I had a true passion for them. From hamsters to horses, I've had the pleasure of caring for and handling a vast array of animals throughout my life. In 2012, I began working in veterinary clinics as a veterinary assistant and was able to further my pet care knowledge as well as my animal handling skills. Just a few years later, in 2015, I joined Rover and was one of their first sitters in the Wilmington area. At the time, I was working full-time at a veterinary clinic and only owned my Chessie, Bo Duke. I knew this would be a great way not only to do more of what I love outside of my “9 to 5” but also help Bo make tons of new furriends to play and socialize with. After many 5-star reviews, happy clients, and even happier pets, I was able to make pet care my full-time business in 2020. I am incredibly passionate about helping both people and their pets, so sometimes I am still in disbelief that I get to call this my job. There is no denying that THIS is the BEST JOB EVER! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Reviews
Laura was attentive and loving with my babies. She was also very detailed in her reports. I will rebook Laura everytime I need someone to care for my double trouble kitties!!! Thank you again Laura 💓
Laura was amazing. She took great care of all 4 of our kitties. And showed them lots of love. She went above and beyond to take care of them. Even my skittish cat really liked her. I would 100% have her look after my cats again.
Laura was fantastic as usual; will definitely book with her again.
Laura was awesome! Did a great job taking care of my kitties, will book again.

Information Laura D. would like to know about your pet
I like to know as much as possible regarding your pet. This may include but is not limited to: medical conditions, allergies, aggression (towards food, other pets, during play, or over toys), separation anxiety, health issues, destructive behaviors, exercise level, etc. I do require all pets be current on their rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella vaccines. Please be sure to arrive with enough food/treats and medications, if applicable, for the duration of their stay. Also, please bring your pet’s collar/harness, leash, bedding/crate, and anything else that you feel they will enjoy while you're away. Sometimes, there will be other Rover friends staying here but I will notify you if any other pet(s) will be in the home during the stay.
A typical day
I am able to offer neighborhood walks or at local parks, trail or hiking adventures, beach trips, and more! Of course, this is all with owner approval beforehand.
