Pet care experience

Walker, care-taker, house sitter.

I've taken care of cats, dogs, and horses since I was a teenager. I even volunteered at a wolf sanctuary for three years. Family, friends, and coworkers have used me to walk, feed, and care for all their animals for a long time in Austin and overseas. When I lived in Austin, I fostered puppies for adoption. I adore animals and find joy in caring for them.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Currently, I'm willing to walk, feed, and overnight care for animals (and our underappreciated plant friends) and your beloved home. I want to make sure everyone is happy and no one feels lonely when their loved ones are away.

Laura was amazing with our pets! She kept ups notified and followed all of our instructions as well as kept the house as clean as we left it. Will definitely book with Laura again.

Laura has walked and watched my dog many times, and I have recommended her to my friends as well as my sister! She has always been kind, caring, and responsible. She genuinely cares about animals, and it shows in the way she responds, interacts, and approaches pet sitting & pet walking.

Laura is a genuine animal lover! My cats love her more than me! She was very responsible and took good care of them while I was away. I always feel very comfortable leaving her with my fur babies and my house. She is very trustworthy and reliable. Many times I left her with them from 2 days to 2 weeks. Highly recommend her for all your sitting needs!

Laura is an awesome dog sitter! She is so loving with my boys (it’s mutual)! She is completely dependable and reliable which is key in a pet sitter. I know she has fostered rescue dogs in the past as well. I definitely recommend her to watch your pups or kitties!

Laura has always loved animals! She has had pets most of her life, including dogs, cats, and horses! While in high school, and when home from University of Texas, she volunteered at St. Francis Wolf Sanctuary. She learned a lot about animal behavior, caring for, and working with wolves. I've seen Laura walk real wolves! Laura knows animals, so I am very confident that your pet will be in good hands!

I'm working part-time, so there's ample opportunities for me to care for your fur babies. I can care for them any day of the week and overnights. I can't board animals, but I'm happy to house sit and talk to your plants or stop by for belly rubs and long walks.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Laura can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know about behaviors and special needs I need to accommodate for your animals, young or old. I prefer to do meet and greets with your animals so that they know I'm allowed in the house and approved by the fam. You can also explain routines, needs, and address concerns and questions at this time directly with me. Don't forget your plants! Let me know what your house buddies and garden friends might need while you're gone.
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.
