Animal Lover With No Pet Of My Own!
Pet care experience
As one of eight children, I understand the importance and responsibility that accompany these types of services. I have been babysitting since I was a young teenager, and my love for animals drove me into pet sitting and house sitting, which I have been doing for the past several years as well. I am well versed in my experiences with cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and chickens! In addition, I have had many experiences with senior dogs, and I have effectively handled the pet-related medical issues that accompany them (including distributing medication and such). I love puppies and have watched them as well, with the bonus of attending an obedience class before. I am also comfortable watching over the youngins even if they lack trainings because of their age (basic crate/potty trainings I mean). I have cared for animals by taking them on walks, babysitting them during the day, and even staying with them for overnight care. As a young college student, I cannot afford a pet of my own, but I would love to take the affection I hold towards animals to help ease the worries of another pet owner! I can assure you with confidence that your pet's comfort and safety will always be my top priority, and if your pet is left with me, they will be in good hands!

About Laura F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As someone who grew up managing young children and pets from an early age, I understand the responsibility and trust that goes into providing care for your loved ones. My own home has a fenced in backyard, and my house has always been baby-proof, so for the most part it is pet-proof too! I am comfortable and experienced in walking, crating, and feeding animals, and I have had lots of experience in handling a variety of different types of animal medicine. I am a naturally paranoid person, so I am always on watch, so I can guarantee that your pet is safe with me and my baby blue pepper spray. I understand that trust can be rather difficult to gage from a stranger's profile, so I can put you in contact with a few of my references if it would make you more comfortable!
Information Laura F. would like to know about your pet
As someone who has worked with a variety of dogs, it is crucial that I understand the animal's age, breed, and level of training. These are not deterrents by any means, I just want to ensure both you and your pets safety and comfort and the activities we do will be adjusted according to your dog's needs! That being said, it's important I know if your dog has any underlying medical issues and if there are certain negative behaviors they tend to exhibit. This needs to include any potential triggers, which tends to be more common in animals that were abused before they arrived in your care.
A typical day
I love taking dogs exploring but it all depends on your dogs experience and comfort level! I have done a variety of activities -from normal walks, to runs, to hikes, to swims, and to all sorts of parks! I have played with every sort of dog toy imaginable and I love trying to make activities both physically and mentally stimulating!
Services
Laura can watch in your home
Availability
I currently work full time, from 7:00am-3:30pm Monday through Friday. I am best suited for overnight pet care because of this but I can also dog sit and house sit as I am an early bird and get off in the afternoon instead of the evening. Besides my current job, time is something I have a lot of, so besides those 8.5 hours, I'm always free!
