Pet care experience

Hi, all: Leaving beloved fur babies behind can be nerve-racking (I know), but I am here to help! Your cat/s or dog/s will love me, because pets sense my love and respect for them. You can see that firsthand at our required, free Meet and Greet (fyi, I'm triple vaccinated), and also by viewing the Reviews submitted by my awesome Rover clients over the past five years! I'm extremely conscientious, trustworthy, and reliable, and I treat animals with lots of TLC! I will give your bestie my complete attention and send you updates! I live in a dog-friendly building that my husband and I purposely moved into so that I could finally adopt a dog, something I'd dreamed of my whole life! I love our Marina Bambina the Flying Wonder Dog (!), who is still getting used to sharing me with our beloved kitty, Zoe Louise. I have over 40 years personal experience living with/fawning over felines! I've had three cats total (1 at a time). I have done volunteer work for Bobbi & The Strays no-kill shelter as well as Sunnyside Community Services' Pet Pals program. Give me a try; you will not be disappointed!! Please be sure to include a REQUIRED photo of you with your pet/s. Thank you for your consideration. I am so grateful to have amazing return and new clients! I am extremely safety conscious and follow your care instructions down to the last detail. I am honored that you entrust me with your beloved pet (and access to your home) and I would never do anything to sever that trust. And note that for dog clients, I am a stickler about ensuring your dog has a secure harness. I have several recurring clients but have some openings available, so let me know your schedule needs and we will discuss how to work it out together! I follow your preferences for your pet/s during time in your home. I am very trustworthy and compassionate. I value your trust and wouldn't betray it. I unfortunately do not offer Rover services in my own home.

Laura took great care of our two older cats. She was very thorough and asked a lot of questions to make sure she understood their needs and routine. Our boys loved spending time with her, and she even got them playing with toys we thought they had lost interest in. We are very thankful for the care and attention she showed our cats and would absolutely book with her again!

Laura was so wonderful with my Weezie, and she was just as good at calming my nerves! I had never left him before as I adopted him late last year, but Laura’s smart questions, attention to detail, and abundant pictures made it so much easier to enjoy my vacation. And I could tell from the pictures and videos that Weezie loved her visits! I will absolutely reach out for my next trip.

Laura is a great and tentative sitter. She always does a wonderful job with my cats when I’m away!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
