Safety, trust & environment

It can be a stressful time for animals when their humans are away and I enjoy being able to stay overnight to provide them companionship and affection in their familiar surroundings. I'll closely follow the daily routine you've created with them and make sure they are getting all the food, exercise and love that they need.

Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medical issues or allergies, behavioral needs that I should respect, and what your daily routine is, so I can make them as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

I enjoy walking and running with dogs, playing with toys, exploring parks and trails, swimming, and, of course, cuddling on the couch and giving lots of scratches and attention!

Experienced/Professional Sitter

Pet care experience

If you're looking for an experienced, reliable, and kind sitter, you've found her. With 16 years of professional experience house and pet sitting for families across the U.S. and abroad, I've cared for a lot of fur babies and easily connect to animals of all types and personalities. I've cared for litters of kittens, senior cats on medication, puppies, chinchillas, reptiles, fish, toy breeds, large breeds such as Rottweilers and German Shepherds and everything in between! I'm an active person and really enjoy walking/hiking and playing with dogs. I am a full time professional pet sitter, so your animals are my number one priority and I'll be present all day to provide comfort, companionship and play, which is especially important for anxious pets and pets used to being around work-from-home/retired pet parents all day. I take my pet sitting duties very seriously and prioritize your pet's needs above everything else. You can count on me to respond quickly to communications, to follow your care instructions closely, and to provide sincere love and affection to your babies. I love what I do because I get paid to love! I will also take expert care of your home and plants. I was a luxury vacation rental manager and I am very familiar with how to care for a home. I enjoy cleaning, organizing and gardening, so your home will be kept clean and tidy and the garden and plants will be well looked after.

Laura constantly sent us pictures and had great communication. We have 1 puppy and 3 cats, one cat of which has a medical condition and needs medicine every 12 hours, and she was amazing at taking care of all of them. She took Toast (our pup) on 2 30 minute walks a day, keeping up with his energy. She also kept to our kinda strict feeding routine and schedule for all our pets. Overall she really was so amazing and professional and I’ve never had a better sitter. Absolutely will go with her again!

Laura took such wonderful care of our pups, Matcha and Celine! They wanted for nothing while we were away, and we loved receiving daily photos and reports that completely set our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and attentive sitter. Highly recommend! 🐾
