Pet care experience

Years of pet sitting experience dogs, cats, aquatic turtles even. Shy cats love me, aggressive or anxious dogs calm down around me. I’ve helped socialize lots of puppies and older dogs with reactive issues. I walk, feed, love on, play with, and bathe pets. I’m patient and positive only, lots of treats and reassurance. I love to help disabled or senior pets! My service dog Lilo made it to 16 years old before he passed peacefully. I have experience with many different things at some point-snake bite recovery, surgery, back injury, gallbladder blockage, liver/kidney damage, arthritis, skin, eye, and ear infections, plus mobility issues and low thyroid. I’ve administered meds too-eye flushes, ointments, wound dressing, tiny pill, big pills, liquid in syringes, chews, etc. All rates are negotiable-I don’t want anyone to miss out on having the best care because of their budget so feel free to let me know what you’re comfortable paying.

Laura is amazing! She takes such great care of our boy and our home and she’s always so accommodating. We have complete peace of mind while we’re away knowing he’s in her care.

I had such a wonderful experience with Laura while I was away. Laura took amazing care of my two cats and treated them with so much love and attention. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in safe hands. She kept me updated, shared photos, and made sure everything was going smoothly the whole time. When I came back, my cats were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Laura again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.

Laura and I spent two hours together interviewing Laura and introducing her to my three Bengal cats and her getting to know their individual personalities, likes, dislikes, favorite games etc. I think this really paid off when it came time for her to sit with them for three days. She was very attentive to them, played with them and took care of them and my home while I was away. She sent lots of pics twice a day and kept me updated. I really enjoyed that and was very at ease having her stay in my home. I didn't worry about anything and that's priceless. I even set up a video camera before I let but never felt the need to check in on them. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Laura for giving me peace of mind. When I got home the cats were all well and happy and didn't seem like they had missed me being gone with her there to keep them company.
