Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive care for happy pets :)
Hi, I’m Laura, a caring and attentive pet sitter based in Pasadena area. I'm also available in surrounding areas as Highland Park and nearby locations depending on the schedule. I truly love what I do, and my goal is always to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and at home while their owners are away. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including shy or more sensitive pets who need time, patience, and a gentle approach. I always follow their routine closely and adapt to their personality, whether they need playtime, quiet companionship, or simply someone calm and present nearby. During house sitting, I provide overnight care as well as a consistent presence throughout the day, depending on your needs. Some clients prefer extended daytime care, similar to a daycare-style setup, with longer visits or multiple check-ins during the day. I’m happy to customize the schedule to best support your pet’s routine and comfort. Extended daytime care is available upon request. My priority is that your pets never feel rushed or left alone for too long. I spend quality time with them, keeping their environment calm, clean, and familiar. I also pay close attention to details such as eating habits, behavior, and overall well-being, so everything stays balanced and stress-free. I send regular updates with photos and thoughtful notes, so you always feel reassured while you’re away. When helpful, my husband Valerio (who works at Caltech) is also available to assist me during house sitting. This can be especially beneficial for pets who enjoy extra companionship or for homes that require a more continuous presence. I believe trust, kindness, and clear communication are at the heart of great pet care, and I treat every pet with the same attention and respect I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet 💛
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I try to learn each pet's unique need to make them as much comfortable and as less stressed as possible. I love to play with your dogs and cats and cuddle them but I give them their own space when needed. I'm detailed-oriented when safety and cleanness are concerned.
Ratings and reviews
I cannot say enough great things about Laura! We went on a 19 day trip. This was the longest we have ever been away from our dog, Rufus. Laura took such great care of Rufus. She sent us daily photos. It was clear that Rufus was super happy and well cared for. This allowed us to enjoy our trip. Laura stayed at our house with Rufus, and our house was cleaner when we came home than when we left? I wholeheartedly recommend Laura. She is amazing!

I would highly recommend Laura for your pet sitting needs. We booked Laura to stay overnight in our home to care for our 4 dogs, one of them was a 9 week old puppy who needed lots of love and attention. Laura made it a priority to make sure our pups had all of her attention and love. She was fantastic with all the dogs and they loved her. She took them on walks, cuddled and slept with them, and provided us lots of pictures. She is very professional and respectful. We felt very comfortable having her in our home. We will definitely use her again!!




Laura took excellent care of my boys and my home!!


Laura is the best always!!! So grateful whenever she helps with my girls, always goes above and beyond
Laura was very kind and attentive!

Laura could very well be "Petsitter Of The Year" We came to Pasadena from Arizona for The Showcase House Tour, and she came and stayed with Gracie the Yorkie. Sent atleast 1 dozen pics in the 6 hours, took her walking, visiting, and played...Both so happy when I returned. If you are lucky enough to work for her, please treat her Very Very Well :) I give her 10 Stars.
