Experienced VET TECH!! (SJI Only)
Pet care experience
Hi! I am available to take care of any pet your may have on SJI!! I have been a veterinary technician for 15 years specializing in Emergency and Internal Medicine at a 24-hour small animal referral hospital in Boston, MA. I am very comfortable providing nursing care for dogs/cats of all ages/sizes/conditions. I have a huge heart for elderly pets as well and love taking care of animals while their owners are away to keep them happy and healthy! I am comfortable with any medication administration and am very understanding towards animals with behavioral issues. Previous dairy farm, horse barn, and goat experience so livestock are also welcome! I love all animals so if you have additional pets at home I would be more than happy to care for them as well. I am extremely reliable and conscientious, and will give your kids the upmost care while you travel off island! SJI only :)
Reviews
Laura is the absolute best! She's devoted loads of exceptional, loving, and supportive care to our girls (and amazing skilled care with one of ours who needs special fluids treatments, medicine, and injections). I highly recommend her to anyone who would need a pet sitter. We will always call on Laura when we need a sitter!
Laura is my favorite petsitter I have ever had. She takes great care of my dog and my cat. I had to go out of town when my dog had just had surgery, and I was not worried at all when he was in Laura's care. She sends us photos of our animals when we are gone, and I am always confident that they are well taken care of and having a great time without us!
I have worked closely with Laura over the past 2 years as a veterinary technician in a large referral hospital. Over that time, I have witnessed firsthand Laura's compassionate and capable care for each patient that she has worked with. We work in a fast-paced and sometimes stressful environment, which I have never seen affect Laura's thorough patient care. She also relates easily with clients in an efficient and affable manner and has taken on many pet sitting opportunities for our clients outside of the hospital environment. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any type of pet caregiving opportunity.
It's possible that my boyfriend and I are slightly obsessed and over-protective dog parents, so when it comes to leaving our pup, Cowie, (a 9 year old, 50lb pit mix) with a sitter, we are very particular. We trust Laura 100% with Cowie, who warmed up to Laura right away. Not only is Laura a good friend of ours, but she is very experienced with animals (she has her own very spoiled and loved pets, she is a vet tech, and she still finds time to volunteer with animals - not just cats and dogs, but whales and turtles too!- in her spare time) and is one of the most compassionate individuals you will ever meet. We don't go away often, but when we do, Laura is definitely at the top of our list for sitters! You can't go wrong by choosing Laura to care for your pet.
