Pet care experience

They are Superb!

Ever since I was 15, I found my passion for caring for our furry and feathered friends. What started as a simple love for animals has become the go-to pet sitter for many wonderful families, some for the last 8 years. From walks to playtime, I've had the privilege of providing pets with their mini-vacations while their parents are away. Having cared for various breeds, from playful pups to wise old cats and even a lively cockatoo, I've experienced the joy of being a part of their lives in all stages. I cherish my role in giving families peace of mind, knowing their pets are in good hands. I am a CADC-R and work an 8 AM to 4 PM job Monday through Friday. I have weekends off however I do pickup hospitality gigs sometimes. I am happy to share my schedule once we know the departure and arrival times. It is imperative that the pets are used to this structure as I won’t be able to be home in the middle of the day. The app does a price estimate initially, and the correct rate is determined after a proper meet and greet to assess the level of care and time/travel. Much love, care, and wagging tails! LJ

Safety, trust & environment

I can watch dogs up to 55lbs in my apartment but would prefer to only use this for emergencies or immidate short stays. It is imperative to be at the pet's home so they do not feel like we arranged a kidnapping!

Laura is easy to work with and so good with our very attached kitty. She’s our go-to when we have to be away from Ms FurBoss.

Laura is always our first choice when we plan our travels. She’s reliable, easy to communicate with and spoils our kitty.
