Caring Caretaker, Home full-time
Pet care experience
I grew up with a cat who loved to play hide-and-seek-tag and came when he was called. He would "help" me with my homework and steal my pillow at night, and I absolutely adored him. For about ten years, I was disabled by chronic illness. During that time, I began petsitting regularly. Since 2016, I've watched cats, dogs, fish, chickens, parakeets, bunnies, and plants. Mostly by word of mouth. With my gentler pace, I am a good fit for older animals and critters. I am not a good fit for very young kittens and puppies, although they are super cute! I believe that all animals should be treated like family, and that curiosity, play, and companionship are as important as physical exercise. I try to provide all of the above. :)
Reviews
Laura was great. I plan on hiring her again
Laura has watched my dog and 2 cats several times and has always done an excellent job of taking care of them. I swear, she must be a cat whisperer, because my one cat can do new tricks with her every time I come home after she's watched them. It has been great to have her come over, knowing that she is keeping an eye on them, giving them loads of attention, and will report on any concerns I may want to keep an eye on.
Laura has sat with my dog many times. I give her a 5 star review. She's dependable, honest and just a delight. My dog loves her and so do I. When I go out of town I can go knowing that Buster is in good hands. Give her a call.
About Laura C.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am currently a digital nomad so I will watch your animals in your own home. Your critters will be able to remain in an environment they already know and love and feel safe in.
Information Laura C. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know if your critters are on any medications or if they have any special diet restrictions. I'd also like to know if there are any particular things they are afraid of, such as thunderstorms, and what their favorite games are. :)
A typical day
House/petsitting with me includes a morning and evening walk and 1-2 dedicated play sessions per day, where appropriate. The rest of the time will be spent companionably resting/napping/working/hanging out together, etc. I don't double-book my services, so I will concentrate on taking care of the critters in your family and providing them with companionship and my full support.
Services
Laura can watch in your home
Availability
I currently work from my laptop, meaning I can be with your critters full-time! I offer my services as a companion so your critters will never be lonely, will have access to the outdoors if/whenever needed, and lots of play time and companionable naps. This way I can also be there in case of any emergency.
