I'm definitely a cat person!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Laura! I moved to Dallas over 10 years ago to pursue a career in IT. Prior to and since, one can say I've cared for cats and dogs my whole life and for their whole life. Honestly, cats are my spirit animal :). Recently, I unfortunately and suddenly lost my Spencer. He was the bubbliest kit I'd ever known and if you know gingers, you know what I mean! He left behind his brother, Ace, our senior Yorkie, who loved and misses him dearly. I'm not quite ready to be a cat mom again, but I do have room to love and cuddle your beloved kitty. I have experience from bottle feeding to providing meds - the trick is in treat! I am dependable and compassionate with a knack for detail to ensure your babe is properly loved on while you're away. Over the years, I've hosted pet sitters because I believe your cat is at ease in the place their most familiar with, home. For this reason, I do not board nor do I offer overnight stays. Being a pet parent is truly a joy - they bring you so much energy and purpose. It would be my honor to ensure your kitties continue to manage their thrown as comfortably and calmly as possible! If you haven't experienced it yet, returning from a trip and having your fur-kids already home, comfortable, and fed is unmatched.

Laura was our house sitter for 10 days while we were traveling for the holidays. Her primary responsibility was to care for our 2 cats who are very used to us being around 24x7 so we were very worried to leave them for this long. Laura took fantastic care of Tibbers and Terry. She sent lots of photos and was sure to keep us updated. She also brought our packages/mail into the house and cleaned up after the cats very well. We felt complete peace of mind leaving our babies in Laura’s care. I’m looking forward to booking Laura again!

We had Laura look after our two cats while we were out of town. She was fantastic to meet, and the cats took a real liking to her. She obviously really loves animals, and it shows in her care. We had one cat that needed medication daily and Laura was reliable and on it like clockwork. In our rush to travel for the holidays we forgot to cancel a package, but Laura was able to bring it in the house for us on short notice, so we weren’t worried about it being left outside for an extended period of time. We also received lots of really great photos from Laura. I highly recommend Laura and will look to her again for any pet sitting needs we may have!

I wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone in need of a caring and professional pet caregiver. Her dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals made my experience with traveling without my kiddo/fur baby a lot less stressful. When I first decided to go on a vacation, I was faced with the dilemma of finding someone trustworthy to care for my beloved furry family member, Sir, a lively and spirited Red Toy Poodle. After conducting extensive research and reading numerous testimonials, I chose Laura, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made for my kiddo. From the initial consultation to the last day of pet sitting, her professionalism and attention to detail were evident. She took the time to get to know Sir's routine, preferences, and quirks, making sure his experience would be as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Her genuine love for animals was apparent, and Sir warmed up to her immediately. During my vacation, she provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which not only reassured me but also allowed me to enjoy my time away without worrying about Sir's well-being. It was evident that she was not just fulfilling a job but genuinely caring for Sir as if he were his own. Laura's commitment to Sir's safety and happiness was demonstrated through the daily walks, playtime, and even some extra belly rubs. Laura's meticulous attention to detail, such as following his dietary requirements, gave me peace of mind knowing that he was in capable hands. Upon our return, Sir was in excellent spirits, and it was clear that he had been well-cared for and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Laura. Laura's comprehensive care and the bond she formed with Sir left a lasting impression on me. I cannot thank Laura enough for her outstanding pet sitting services. She provided me with the freedom to relax and enjoy my vacation while knowing that Sir was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a pet sitter who goes above and beyond in ensuring the happiness and well-being of their furry family members. Thank you once again Laura for your exceptional care and dedication to Sir. I look forward to booking her for my future pet sitting needs without hesitation.
