Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with difficult-to-walk dogs, I am accustomed to crating animals, and I am familiar with skittish creatures who need a little reassurance. I work hard to ensure safety, health, and comfort of all involved (including myself and others!)

Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet

If your pet needs special care, I’m willing and able to provide that. I can take detailed notes (or you can provide your own) and do follow-up research to make sure that I know everything I need to know to give your pet exactly what they need.

A typical day

I enjoy taking walks and helping a fun-loving dog or cat play with their favorite toys. I love sitting with a snuggly critter and giving pets and belly rubs.

Pet care experience

{My availability starts back again the beginning of June 2026!} I’ve had both personal and professional experiences caring for a variety of animals. I am comfortable with medications (even injections!) and with exotics. I enjoy learning more about animals I’m unfamiliar with, and will do my homework if yours is a creature I have not previously cared for.

Laura was wonderful! She was reliable, caring, and sweet with my dog (and cat!). She kept me updated on how everyone was doing and went out of her way to make sure the animals music was turned back on after a power outage. I would highly recommend Laura!

Laura is absolutely amazing! I have an 11-year-old spicy cat, Asher, and a 1-year-old sensitive cat, Ember. Both of my boys are completely rotten and very used to having me home almost 24/7. I had never trusted anyone outside of family to care for Asher, and I had never left Ember before, so needless to say, I was anxious…… and I left Laura what can only be described as a textbook of instructions. She never once made me feel like I was being too much or seemed annoyed by any of it. My boys did GREAT with her! Laura was incredibly communicative, detailed, dependable, and punctual. She sent wonderful updates that genuinely helped me relax while I was away, and both cats warmed up to her much faster than they usually do with new people. Knowing they were comfortable and being so well cared for was such a huge relief. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my boys, and I would absolutely book Laura again. I can’t recommend her enough!

Laura was punctual and our cat warmed up to her right away. She also communicated promptly which was very appreciated.
