Experienced Simsbury Petsitter!

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m an avid animal lover with a great deal of experience. I was raised with both dogs and cats, and I have vast experience with different breeds, sizes and temperaments! I absolutely love dogs and cats, and other small critters. My clients with shy kitties jokingly call me “The cat whisperer” because I’ve been able to get their kitties comfortable enough to come out and visit with me instead of hiding during visits. I’m also a foster for Mary’s Kitty Korner, a wonderful cat rescue in CT! In addition, I’m experienced with puppies and kittens, and senior pets. I live with my husband and our three school aged kiddos in West Simsbury. We are proud owners of our own mini zoo- Two large rescue dogs, four rescue kitties, a leopard gecko and many fish! I have worked as a postpartum doula for many years as well, and have experience working in different homes and heIping family pets acclimate to a new baby. I am trustworthy and confidential at all times. I have excellent local references and offer your fur babies a loving, gentle demeanor to comfort them while you are away.

Laura was great with our two dogs. She communicated to us each time she was there and even sent us pictures of them! We will definitely use her again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I never leave my clients dogs unattended when I let them out to go potty/play. I’ll stay and play with them outside to ensure their safety. If I’m caring for kitties that are shy and like to hide, I will always make sure that I at least get a visual of them to make sure they are ok before leaving your home. I’m especially careful with making sure indoor kitties stay indoors! I will send daily pics of your fur babies to you.

Information Laura R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or health concerns. I like to do a meet and greet with clients before my first visit so your pets are familiar with me and you can show me your pet’s environment, food, toys etc.

A typical day

I will get tips from you about your pet’s favorite activities and toys, and plan my time with your fur baby with that information! I can provide lots of stimulation, and/or quiet playtime and cuddles depending on your pets needs and temperament.
