Safety, trust & environment

I have a rather skittish kitty of my own, so I can't board any animals, but I'm happy to come visit others. So long as the information is provided, I'm happy to help feed, play with, clean up after, and help give medications to your furry family members as needed.

Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about routines and any special needs your pet may have! Written instructions are especially helpful. I do have some experience with oral medications, though not with shots.

A typical day

I'll be happy to hang out and cuddle or bring out their toys to play! Even just running around in the yard can be a fun way to get some exercise.

Pet care experience

I've lived with cats for most of my life, and I have experience sitting for both senior dogs and puppies! I'm comfortable around dogs of any size and can handle most medications and messes, provided some instruction. In case it's relevant, I also have some limited experience with a variety of other animals, ranging from birds and mice to horses and rabbits!

Laura has always been attuned to the nature and needs of all kinds of animals. She has taken care of my cat and given her all of the love and attention she's wanted (she's really needy!) and also made sure she was well fed and groomed. She will make sure that any sort of special accommodations or notes are accounted for, and will stay communicative through the whole process. I wouldn't trust anyone in the world more than Laura with my favorite furry companion.

Laura has sat with my pets several times, and with my neighbors pets. She is responsible and very loving. I recently adopted a dog that was owned by a homeless man. A little problem with connecting with strangers. She easily won him over snd made me very comfortable leaving him with her. I highly recommend her for her love of pets and also feel very comfortable leaving her in my home that she could handle any problem that arose. I feel you would be fortunate to have her.
