My Profile

My profile- Laura Caruso:

I began working with animals 17 years ago at a boarding facility.
Working every weekend and each day after school kept me busy-I
was hooked on dogs! During my three years there, I not only
lovingly cared for these dogs as if they were my own, but I also
learned how to train them. Also working at the facility was a master
trainer, I was able to apprentice under him during my time there
and learn how to understand a dog’s behavior and how to modify
that behavior and most importantly—how to teach the owner these
techniques.
I followed this tremendous work experience with a Bachelor’s
Degree in Animal Science from the University of Massachusetts.
This degree completed the picture of what I wanted to do
professionally. I learned veterinary skills, management skills and
gained the experience necessary to enter the professional animal
world.
While still in school, I decided to begin using my dog training
knowledge by starting my own dog training business, part-time, All
About Dogs was born!
After college, I began working at an animal hospital-mostly in their
boarding kennel, but I also assisted as a receptionist and
veterinary technician. There I honed my veterinary skills and
learned about caring for animals other than dogs. I eventually
became the manager of the boarding facility and developed a
program for the kennel to be approved by the American Boarding
Kennel Association (ABKA) –one of a handful, at that time, in the
New England area.
Ready for the next step after 5 years at the kennel, I was hired by
the Animal Rescue League of Boston to manage their Salem MA
facility. My 8 years there completed my animal knowledge in a
unique way. Evaluating animals for adoptions into new homes,
caring for all types of animals during their stay and physically
handling many breeds, species and personalities truly rounded out
my animal knowledge.
Now on my own as a dog walker, trainer and pet sitter, I am able to
offer my clients and their companions an experienced, professional
and knowledgeable service unlike any other pet sitting service in
the area.
