Owner, Laura Robel
As a Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) and Fear Free® Certified Professional, I go beyond basic pet care to ensure your pet’s physical and emotional well-being is always the priority.
The CPPS designation, earned through Pet Sitters International (PSI), reflects in-depth training and successful completion of a rigorous exam covering:
Pet health, safety, and behavior
Emergency response and pet first aid
Sanitation, home care, and client confidentiality
Ethical standards and legal best practices
To maintain this title, I’m required to earn 30 Continuing Education Units (CPUs) every 3 years—staying current on the latest in professional pet care.
What is a Fear Free® Certified Pet Sitter?
A Fear Free® Certified Professional has completed science-based training focused on reducing Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) in pets during any interaction—whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or administering medication.
Fear Free techniques include:
Reading emotional cues and adjusting handling
Using positive reinforcement and calm environments
Avoiding force, fear-based correction, or overstimulation
Supporting shy, anxious, or medically fragile pets with empathy
To maintain certification, Fear Free professionals must also complete ongoing continuing education through refresher courses and specialized modules.
Why it matters: Fear Free-certified care supports your pet’s emotional well-being—leading to more relaxed visits, healthier behavior, and peace of mind for both pets and their people.
(As a Fear-free Certified Pet Sitter, it is against my policy to use e-collars, choke, prong or pinch collars while pets are under my care. I will suggest alternatives during meeting & greet)
My Canine Cardio Walks are fun, energetic outings designed to give your dog the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need. These walks are strictly exercise-based—no meals or medications—just purposeful movement and plenty of tail wags. I walk all breeds and only walk up to two dogs at a time from the same household to ensure safety and reduce stress. Each walk includes hydration breaks and is paced to match your dog’s energy level
This walk is for dogs who need short but frequent potty breaks.
This walk is intended for dogs that would benefit from a leisurely walk that allows for ample sniffing and exploration opportunities.

Depending on weight and obedience an additional fee will be applied to all services per visit after the second dog.
Puppyhood is a critical time for training and socializing dogs because they are highly receptive to learning and are eager to absorb information. Training puppies at a young age can help them become well-mannered, confident, and social adult dogs.
Puppies are highly receptive to learning basic obedience commands during their early weeks. Some important first skills I include teaching them is sit, down, stand, come when called, stay, leave-it, crate training, house breaking and impulse control
Adolescent years are crucial for dog training because it's a critical period where dogs experience significant hormonal changes and brain development, leading to increased independence and potential behavioral challenges, making it the ideal time to solidify basic obedience commands and establish strong boundaries to guide them through this phase and ensure they become well-adjusted adult dogs; neglecting training during adolescence can lead to more difficult behavioral issues later on.
There is an additional fee per visit for pets with medical conditions or an injury tgat requires extra care. The fee will be determined during our initial meeting.
