Pet care experience

Trusted Pet Care in Wethersfield

Hi, I’m Laura! I’ve lived in Wethersfield for over 25 years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Being around pets genuinely makes me happy, and spending time with them brings a sense of calm and joy that I really value. Over the years, I’ve helped care for many cats and dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, including large breed dogs, senior pets, and homes with multiple pets. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or caring for pets while families are away on vacation, I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable giving medications, managing multiple pets, and handling different energy levels and temperaments. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I also know how much peace of mind updates can bring, so I’m always happy to send photos and check-in messages so you know your pets are doing well and getting lots of love and attention. When your pets are with me, I want you to be able to truly relax knowing they’re in kind, caring, and dependable hands. I absolutely love meeting new furry friends! Send me a message and we can get a brief informal meet and greet booked in to chat about your pet care needs. My schedule can fill up quickly at times, so I’d love to connect with you and your pets soon!

Laura was great! She was very communicative while she was over our place and was extremely patient with our girl who gets very nervous of new people. She took the time to let Kona warm up to her and now they’re besties. Will absolutely use her again in the future.

Laura provided such great care for our pets (two pups and a cat). She was kind, loving, and really engaged with them (petting, playing fetch, etc.). I highly recommend her and will definitely be utilizing her services again!!!

Laura is amazing. She was a godsend when I was visiting CT and needed help with the dogs. Great walker and wonderful with the dogs care. When we had a potty accident she not only helped but also brought chicken, pumpkin and rice for my fur babies to help him get over his sick tummy. Can't beat her attention or ability to handle multiple dogs at once.
