Pet care experience
I had my adopted cat, Lily, for 12 years and she lived to be 20.5 before passing away in January 2024. Having been her human for quite a while, I'm confident that I can provide quality care for pets of any age. My friends call me the Cat Whisperer because I seem to make friends with almost every cat, but I also have plenty of experience watching dogs and enjoying working with them as well. During Lily's last couple months of life, I learned to administer subcutaneous fluids, so I'm very familiar with the process if that is something your pet needs.
Reviews
Excellent with my cat Oliver!
Laura was so thoughtful, responsive and sent the cutest pictures and updates. I will definitely be rebooking.
My two cats love having Laura take care of them. She is an amazing, caring and reliable pet sitter. I will continue to book her whenever I have to travel, for as long as she is available!
Laura was fantastic! We feel lucky to have found her. We will ask her to help us with our pets again for sure!
About Laura B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat my clients home with the care and privacy I would want out of my own pet-sitter. It's important that I leave things tidy and treat your property with respect. I also find it important to communicate after each visit, just to check in with folks. If it's at all reassuring, I was also a band director for nine years, so I've passed many school background checks.
Information Laura B. would like to know about your pet
I know that every pet is different and want to do everything I can to make sure I'm meeting your buddy’s individual needs. I appreciate as much information as possible about their likes, dislikes, and daily routine.
A typical day
I typically walk 4-5 miles a day around central Austin to get to school and work, so taking a dog on a good long walk is no problem at all. I enjoy going on strolls through parks, farmer's markets, and neighborhoods. Also open to playing with your pet's favorite toys.
