My name is Laura! I have been caring for animals professionally since 2010. I began offering in-home pet care services in 2014. I have additional experience working at dog daycare and boarding facilities, assisting dog groomers by bathing, brushing and trimming nails, and working as a farm hand on an alpaca ranch. I studied veterinary technology in a university accredited program, and worked as an assistant in a veterinary clinic. I am experienced and skilled at administering medications via all routes, including oral medications, injectable insulin, intramuscular injections, subcutaneous fluids, and asthma inhalers. Beyond dogs and cats, I have cared for various herptiles, birds, fish, equines, and livestock. I am currently Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and formerly Fear Free certified. I am also a former member of NAPPS (National Association of Professional Pet Sitters), PSA (Pet Sitters Associates), and VVPPSN (The Verde Valley Professional Pet Sitters Network. . When booking services with me, you can expect to receive detailed reports with photos after every visit with your animals. My highest priorities are the safety and comfort of your animals, as well as open and ongoing communication with you while your animals are in my care. Animals are individuals who have dynamic needs, and 12 years of experience providing in-home pet care has taught me to expect the unexpected. I take every necessary measure to set your animals up for success, and I strive to show clients that I am capable and prepared to responsibly handle any incidents that may arise. . Recently, I closed my private pet care company, Laura Pet Sits LLC, in Arizona after four years of doing business, and moved to Colorado Springs to pursue new career opportunities. In the mean time, I am excited to continue doing what I am best at and what I love to do, caring for your pets! . I look forward to meeting you and your animals!
