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 have three fur babies of our own: Bo Duke the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Sondra the Labrador Retriever, and Homer the Basset Hound. We live in a one-story home with a large fenced-in backyard in a wonderful, family-friendly neighborhood that has a pond as well a
s a community dock leading out to the ICW. Originally from North Carolina, I have grown up around animals – big and small – and have always possessed a deep love for them. From hamsters to horses, I have had the pleasure of caring and/or 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, I joined Rover while living in Wilmington, NC and was one of the first pet sitters in the 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 K9to5 Pet Care my full-time business. Now, all three of our pups get to live their absolute best lives by hanging out with all of their new furriends. I am incredibly passionate about helping both people and their pets and sometimes I am still in disbelief that I get to call this my job, but there is no denying that THIS is the BEST JOB EVER!
