Pet care fits naturally into my weekly schedule, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I make it a priority to be on time, stick to your pet’s routine, and give them the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away.

About Laura M.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any other care preferences you provide. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of exercise and playtime, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, locking doors and windows, and leaving everything just as I found it. During each visit, I’ll send photo updates and messages so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care possible, I’d love to know about your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, treats, and any medications or medical conditions. Please let me know about their personality, energy level, fears, triggers, or anything that helps them feel safe and comfortable. For dogs, it’s helpful to know their walking habits, leash manners, and how they interact with other people or animals. For cats, I’d like to know their favorite hiding spots, play preferences, and litter box routine. I also appreciate emergency contact information, your veterinarian’s details, and any household instructions you’d like me to follow. The more I know about your pet, the better I can make them feel happy, safe, and at home while you’re away.

A typical day

I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For dogs, that can include walks, games of fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, training reinforcement, or simply spending time outdoors exploring. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with wand toys, laser pointers (followed by a toy they can “catch”), treat puzzles, climbing and enrichment activities, and plenty of cuddle time if they enjoy affection. I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and routine, making sure they get the right balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and relaxation. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I have over 15 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog who needs extra patience, a playful kitten, or a shy cat, I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, provide plenty of playtime, exercise, affection, and mental stimulation, and I’m happy to administer medications if needed and follow any special care instructions. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

Laura has and will always loved and take care of animals. She is verry kind to all animals and loves to be around them. She walked our dogs many of times and asked to take them on walks. She is verry responsible and maintains constants notice of any changes of animal behavior and will let you know right away is she sees any differnce. She will be a great dog walker.

My sister, Laura McAbee, is a phenomenal pet caregiver with an abundance of experience ensuring good quality of life for the fur babies in our family. She personally took care of the wellbeing of our 2 cats while I was entering military service and she couldn’t have given them a more fulfilling life. She has always been kind, loving, and generous when it comes to the animals under her care. Treating each and every pet as nothing less than family. Our fur babies were her pride and joy and she continues to share that love with her newest kittens. Any animals left in her care are sure to be treated with equal amounts of attention and love.

She is a caring and responsible pet owner who genuinely loves animals. She is patient, attentive, and always makes sure her pets are well cared for. It’s clear that she enjoys spending time with them and treats them with kindness and compassion.

Laura was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dogs and cats, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated our pet like family. We came home to happy, well-cared-for fur babies, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Laura and will definitely book with her again!
