About: I became a pet owner at a very young age, probably 4 or 5. My first fur baby was a cat who lived to be 20 years old! I have also had many dogs, ranging from Retrievers to Saint Bernards to one really wonderful Great Pyrenees. When I was a teen, I visited my Grandmother in New York where a cute, sick little barn kitty took a liking to me. I ended up flying him home with me in a picnic basket, nursed him back to health, and loved him for many years. While growing up and into my adulthood I have often taken care of neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats while they were away. I now have a 5-year-old kitty who we've had since he was a kitten. He is the king of the castle and an essential member of our family, and honestly, I envy his life most of the time! I understand how precious our pets are and would be truly honored to take care of yours just as they were my own, surrounding them with love, patience, and attention. I currently work in Real Estate and have the flexibility to work with your needs Tues, Thurs and Fri during the day. The more notice I have the better I can get my schedule aligned with yours. Other times/days may be available by request and circumstance. In my current profession, I am trusted to enter others' homes on a regular basis. I will treat your home and pet(s) with just as much care, caution and respect as I do for every client.

About: I am an elementary school teacher with 16 years experience. Due to the long hours at my job, I was unable to have pets for many years. Over the last three years, we adopted a dog and a cat, and I renewed my love for animals. I was a nanny, babysitter, and pet sitter throughout high school and college. I’m looking to get back into the pet-sitting business and spend time with your furry friends! I look forward to spoiling your pets as I do my own 🐶 Over the summer I am not working, so I have total flexibility for your schedule! During the school year, I am available on weekends and some weekday evenings/overnights with advanced notice. My main living area is pet-proofed and gated to keep your pet safe. I have multiple crates if needed to provide a safe enclosure for dogs of all sizes. Our neighborhood has gravel walking paths, grassy areas, and plenty of room for walks. My own pets are a Labrador retriever age 2.5 named Cookie (spayed female) and an American shorthair cat named Mochi (neutered male). All vaccines are up to date for my animals and we use preventative flea and tick medications. I have taken classes locally in basic puppy care and have access to a vet on demand service.

About: With 8 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes—from energetic puppies and tiny kittens to senior dogs and exotic pets—I offer more than just pet sitting or walking: I provide peace of mind.

Whether it’s a leisurely walk, structured playtime, or just quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs and personality. What sets me apart? Personalized care: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comforts—and I make sure they’re all honored. Consistent communication: I provide regular updates, photos, and notes so you’re always in the loop. Reliability and trust: I treat your pets and home with the same care I would my own. Calm, confident handling: I’m experienced with shy, high-energy, and special-needs pets, ensuring a safe, stress-free experience for all. Whether you're away for a day or an extended trip, you can count on me to give your pets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I do my work from home so because of that I am extremely flexible on when I can come and make visits for your pets. My pets are part of my Family and I would do anything for them and I know that your pets are your family and I will treat them as such. I love all animals and treat them all as my own

I’m experienced in following specific care instructions and maintaining clear communication with owners to ensure the best outcomes for their pets. • Customized companionship, whether it's cuddles, gentle playtime, or just sitting with an animal, I adapt my approach to each pet’s unique personality and emotional needs. I understand the importance of providing a sense of security, especially for pets with anxiety, fear, or past trauma. • Creating a low-stress environment tailored to the animal’s sensory and behavioral needs. I work to maintain a calm, quiet atmosphere, avoiding sudden changes in routine or environment, which can be particularly crucial for animals with heightened sensitivities. • Enrichment and mental stimulation through activities that are designed to engage pets physically and mentally.

“Laura was the friendliest sitter for my Rottweiler, she not only took care of him to make sure he had plenty of water/food in his bowl, but she also trained him throughout the walks to fix minor behavioral issues. I fully trust Laura with my dog whole heartedly and I will 100% book her again. She’s caring, leaves a very detailed dog card, and she’ll keep you updated on everything.My dog truly loved her and her energy. I highly recommend booking with Laura.”


About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, from hermit crabs to horses. The last 15 years I’ve gone from volunteering with animals to now rescuing and owning 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own.

I have a three bedroom, split level house with a large backyard and access to a huge field on the other side of my yard for things like fetch and walks. I have 2 energized and social dogs in my own home who are very friendly, love cuddling and playing fetch. I also have 2 cats who do well around my dogs, one younger one that plays along with them and one older one who is still social but keeps more of a distance from play time.
