Laura's Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I spent the past two years house-sitting and traveling around the U.S. It was a great way to explore new parts of the country and play with so many wonderful furry friends. Now I've settled down in St. Petersburg and I would like to continue to be able to look after and interact with people's dogs in my own home. Prior to hitting the road two years ago I lived and worked in Washington, DC for eleven years. Throughout my time in DC, I helped numerous neighbors while they were out of town by caring for their pets. I also pet-sat for short periods of time for fellow American foreign service officers while I worked at the US Embassy in Warsaw, Poland caring for pets and taking care of their houses. Why I love dog sitting I very much enjoy the company of dogs, but travel too much to own one myself. Dog-sitting as my schedule permits offers me quality time with so many wonderful dogs in a flexible manner as well as an opportunity to help pet-owners enjoy a truly care-free trip knowing their furry friend is safe and happy. My experience administering medication Yes, if shown how to do so by the owner in advance and allowed to administer it at least once in the owner's presence.

Laura did an incredible job with my 2 year old terrier mix! My dog is a rescue and tends to need quite a bit of TLC, but Laura was amazing. She gave me a detailed update every day and sent pictures frequently. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
