Caring and Energetic Pet Caretaker

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Laura and I am a licensed mental health therapist, mom and animal lover. I currently have 3 big dogs (Parker, Pepper and Violet) and 5 cats (Maxwell, Rowan, Nietschze, June and Simon) a bearded dragon (Lincoln) and fish. All of my pets are up to date on all vaccinations, fixed and on flea prevention/heart guard. (I can provide vet records if asked). I have personal pet experience current and past with dogs, cats, bunnies, snakes, bearded dragons, fish, small rodents. I also lots of flexibility and availability on weekends and afternoons on weekdays to help with your pet needs. I am off from my job all school holidays so am available full time on holidays and summers. I have been a sitter on Rover since 2019 as a way to de stress from my full time job. I am interested in checking on pets in your home if out of town and walking. I also am very comfortable with all animals big to small. I have had dogs all my life and rescued many cats as an adult so I know how important the care of one’s pet is to them. I will keep you up to date with pictures and information while they are in my care. Please let me know if I can be of service to help with your pets and we can schedule a meet and greet. I will also water any plants (plant mom too), check on mail etc to make your out of town experience more comfortable. Although rover doesn’t let me list small animals -I also can watch other animals like rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, fish, small rodents and have experience with all.

I take care of all my animals in my home in different ways. My three dogs are very well socialized with animals and my cats are good with dog friendly dogs. My sheepadoodle has been a learning curve and has been in training with me for behaviors 😃. I have learned a lot with him in training on positive reinforcement and socialization. He had taught me a lot about anxious puppies 🐶

Let me know if your dog or cat has special needs that I need to pay special attention to or give you daily updates about. Diets and any allergies are also important.

A typical day

I provide lots of toys, treats (if allowed), games and exercise for the dogs and cats that I watch. My Sheepadoodle is very smart and has many treat puzzles we try as well. For the cats that I sit I can hide tears for further enrichment.
