I love animals! All kinds!
Pet care experience
My family have always been animal lovers. I've had dogs and cats since I was little. As a homeowner I've owned and cared for a dog, pet rats, water turtles and over 20 cats. I was a Montessori teacher for nineteen years and I cared for rabbits, guinea pigs and other animals (as well as children!). I've been involved with the care and walking of my parents' dogs. For a while I was even involved with the care of a feral cat colony. My experience with pets is wide-ranging and I have experience with all kinds of medical conditions and aging.
Reviews
Laura is always great with my cat Cicero! We’ve had her watch him a few times now and he warms up to her immediately every time and she always brings some enrichment to play with him which I think is just amazing! Thanks again!
Absolutely love Laura and more importantly so do my kitties! I was updated upon every check in and always given pictures. I’ll definitely continue using Laura’s services!
Laura was amazing! She’s watched my cat before so I already trusted to watch my cats. She was very patient with the shy girl and was very helpful. I highly recommend Laura if you’re looking for a sitter!
Laura did an absolute perfect job looking after my 2 cats! I would highly recommend her to anyone. She sent me pictures of them every night to put my mind at ease. Plus they really seemed to like her. My shy cat who's afraid of everyone let Laura pet and play with her.

Safety, trust & environment
I can do daily pet visits, care and feeding in your home as well as dog-walking for small to medium dogs. The Rover rate editing doesn't allow me to vary rates for additional pets, so if you have more than three cats I will give you a discount so that each additional cat (after three) will only cost you $1 for each additional cat. So for example four cats would cost $27 per 30 minute visit. I can also do small chores such as watering plants, bringing in the mail, etc. If you are on a trip, I will keep you updated with texts if you desire. Home security and pet safety are very important to me. I will leave your home secure and as clean as, if not cleaner than when I arrive, and I will always have your pet's best interest in mind!
Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. What are her/his special likes or dislikes. If I am to walk your dog, how is your dog on leash? Do we need to avoid other dogs or people?
A typical day
I love to play with your dog or cat and stimulate their interest and intelligence. I know cats love "pursuit of prey" play and dogs love tugging, fetching and sniffing all around their environment. I know they especially love finding their own previous markings and recognizing others that are familiar. So we would walk familiar territory as well as some new ones when possible, and always with respect for neighbors' property and poop clean-up.

Availability
Right now I am working part time helping my aging mother with her home, walking her dog and helping care for her two cats, and doing much of her shopping, so my schedule is flexible. I have many hours open during the week and on weekends.
