Pet care experience

Experienced Grant Park pet sitter!

Hi, I’m Laura! Thank you for considering me to care for your pet. I am an experienced pet-sitter, having started Rover in 2020 and as a dog and cat mom, myself! I have a 70 lb lab mix and a 10 lb black cat— both rescues and as sweet as can be. I was fortunate to grow up with some of the best pets in the world (shout out Thomas and Milo) and have loved animals from an early age. I have experience caring for senior pets and puppies, and everything in between. I am comfortable giving oral and topical medications. I’m diligent in following all feeding/care instructions and will always contact you if I have questions or concerns. My pup is a 70 lb lab, so I am comfortable walking large (well-behaved) dogs.

We love Laura and so do our kitties! We've used her several times and she gives our cats great care and is such a conscientious sitter. We will continue to book with her whenever we can.

Laura is the best per usual! We always have Laura watch our cats whenever we go out of town. This past trip was longer than usual and she was amazing. She is always so attentive to their needs, I never worry about them with her. She also makes sure they get plenty of enrichment and love while we are gone which is extra important when we’re gone for so long. The cats love her so much and so do we!

Relieved to have Laura drop in and give my Tuxedo cat Omi some company. Laura is very patient and made sure to give Omi some pets alongside with reupping his food/water and litter scooping 🥰

Pets

A typical day

I am well-versed in providing for the physical and emotional needs of pets with all kinds of personality types! Please describe any relevant information as to how your pet prefers to engage with people, and I will ensure a comfortable visit. Shy or frightened pets are no problem— please provide details up front so I may plan accordingly.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Laura can host up to 1 pet per night
If your pet has any history of aggression, please discuss with me ahead of time so we may determine if I am the right sitter for your pet. I am comfortable handling pets with anxiety/mild aggression/fear with the proper information up front. This includes any food-aggression behaviors. For your pet’s safety and my own, I cannot accept visits for dogs over 40 lbs with ANY past bite incidents. Thank you for understanding.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
