Pet care experience

Felines are my Forte

I am avid cat lover and have had my own since I was a child. I currently have 1 cat of my own but have in the past fostered cats for a local animal charity. My experience has stretched from kittens to geriatric with conditions such as diabetes. I understand cat behaviour and act accordingly with shy, reclusive cat types. I Also love to spend my time playing when with them if that be wanted. I have used the Rover service in the past for my own cat so I understand the importance of finding a person that will really care for my pet whilst I'm away as I would myself. I have experience with cleaning wounds, administering antibiotics as well as de-ticking. I am a tidy clean cat carer and will take great care in all the litter and food prep needed as required and requested.

This is our second year using Laura to look after our cat, and once again, she has been absolutely amazing. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets. Our cat can be quite wary of new people, so we were especially pleased to see how quickly he remembered Laura and warmed back up to her. It was clear that he felt comfortable and happy with her, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Laura went above and beyond as always. We received detailed updates every single day about how he was doing, what he had been up to, and how he was getting on, along with some fantastic photos. It was lovely being able to see him looking so happy and settled while we were away. Laura is incredibly reliable, caring and attentive, and it’s obvious that she genuinely loves animals. The fact that we have now used her for a second year speaks for itself, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future. Thank you so much again, Laura, for taking such great care of him! 🐾❤️

Returned to a very happy, relaxed and well looked after cat! Laura has done a brilliant job, kept us well updated with lovely photos and videos, and we were really reassured throughout.

Booked Laura again to look after our cat Cosmo. He was well cared for and we enjoyed the thorough updates on how he was doing. Puts our mind at ease when we're away to know he's being looked after and receiving the attention he craves.

Laura is an outstanding cat sitter - looked after our little cat really nicely, including lots of play and treats. Wonderful and detailed communication with multiple photos and even a video. Everything was perfect. 100% recommended.

Laura was able to help out with my two cats very last minute and was brilliant! I was pretty nervous leaving my 4 month old kitten for the two nights, but felt very reassured when seeing the report card & photo updates! My kitten loved Laura too which helped 😊 Would definitely recommend her services and use again in the future.

Schedule

I am a housewife so I am available on most days of the week inclusive of weekends. I have my own cat called Binky she is a Bengal cross 6yrs old. I have also fostered cats in the past and very much am doing this service not for the money but the enjoyment of being able to care for cats other than my own. I hope you will consider me for your cats care as I will treat them like my very own furbaby.

Cats
Laura can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would always want to come meet yourself and your pet prior to my pet sitting/drop ins are scheduled so as we can discuss all needs to do with your furbaby aswell as to get acquainted with the layout of where they're bowls,food, litter etc are kept.
These prices are for 1 cat.

Prices include all fees.

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.
