Animal lover. Vet asst certified

Pet care experience

Hello I am Laura! Working with animals has always been a passion of mine. During the summer I usually take care of close friends and family's dogs and other kinds of animals; cats, rabbits, you name it I'll take care of it. I have volunteered at shelters and received a certificate in veterinary assistance from CCRI, also took an Externship at Providence Animal Rescue League (PARL). I have experience over the years taking care of dogs among other kinds of animals. I am currently in school at Rhode Island College majoring in biology so that someday I can care for animals in a way I've always wanted to. Hoping to work in a shelter or to start my own business in house sitting, dog walking or just working for someone in one of these fields. I have a huge passion for caring for animals Big and small and I would love to help take care of yours.

Laura was very responsive, easy to communicate, punctual, and the puppy had a great time. I gave her the door code, she took the puppy out to play in the backyard, treated the puppy with love, was very courteous, and all business. Thank you - would recommend!

I have known Laura for about six years now, beginning with her being my employee at her first job. Since then she has cared for my cat as well as the dogs of my various family members and friends. While she has always been kind and caring to the animals, in the past few years she has also become certified in caring for them and looking out for their safety. Now that she is CPR and first aid certified for both cats and dogs, as well as a trained veterinarian assistant, there is really no need to think of anyone else for the job when I or someone I know needs their animal to be cared for; whether that be while the family is on vacation or they just need someone to take the dog for a walk. Laura herself has animals of her own which lets me know that beyond any technical certification, she is able to love and give love to animals without hesitation. Animals aside, Laura is an extremely hard worker and has held management positions. She is able to take directions and carry out the task at hand as you wish all your employees could do.

Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet

Emergency contact information including names and phone numbers of people other then yourself that I will be able to get in contact with in case of an emergency if you are unavailable, Also a vet contact information and a preferred Veterinary ER ( if applicable) I would like to know about any medication, dosages and times to be given. How often your pet gets fed and how much. Any special requirements for feeding (mixing wet and dry foods, raw diet, crate fed, raised dish, etc.) Any food related or environmental allergies? Favorite toys? spots to be pet/scratched? Treats? Any special tricks? Any spots they don't like to be touched? Any fears? ( Ex. thunder, fireworks, sirens, sudden movement,etc) Any instances where he/she has even bitten or threatened to bite new people coming into your home? Social situation involving other animals? Are they reactive when on a leash? - If they see another dog while on a walk, is there anything I should be aware of and ready for, like anxiety, aggressive/excited barking, excessive pulling of other behaviors? - If so is there any training/ commands I should use to control said behaviors? ~ NOTE: I will not bring your dog into social situation intentionally. I avoid dog parks and off leash areas, as I can not control other peoples dogs. Your dogs comfort, safety, and enjoyment of our time together is my #1 priority !

A typical day

I will take them around the neighborhood on a walk or a jog. I will make sure to play with them running around and enjoying my company with any toys that are available, maybe go on a run to get some exercise.
