I'll love your pet like my own

Pet care experience

My name is Laura and I'm a Yelm resident, remote worker and animal lover. Prior to our move to Yelm I was a full time corporate marketer. My husband, Meeko and I moved here in September 2016 to set down some roots and live a more fulfilling life. We adopted Koda from the Tacoma Humane Society in April 2017. I work from home as a freelance marketer and enjoy my trips to visit my various pet clients around town when their parents go on vacation or have a late night at work. My schedule allows for flexible bookings and ample time to love up on your furbaby when you can't. I've fostered 17 dogs for Second Chance Dogs and Doggie Protective Services. I enjoy helping dogs work on obedience, house training and social skills to make them more adoptable and happier dogs. I have 2 Australian Cattle Dogs of my own and we love to hike, walk, camp, backpack and play. We welcome well-trained dogs to join our adventures for $50/day.

Laura watched our kitties while we were out of town for a few days. She was very communicative and took good care of them. I loved her daily reports describing their interactions with her. Would definitely ask her to take care of them again if needed.

Laura went above and beyond in her visits with our cat Skip. This was our first time to use Rover.com and we were extremely pleased. Laura is a very caring individual and I was comfortable with her from our first meeting. I knew her calming demeanor would be an added benefit for our cat who can be a bit aloof with strangers. Laura was also quite patient and flexible in helping me navigate through some of the quirks of the website. I absolutely loved getting the check in reports and it gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you Laura!

Laura did a wonderful checking in on and caring for our 1 1/2 year old cat. She was reliable, send text and photos promptly to let us know about the visits. She was quick to respond to any form of communication from the initial meet and greet to her last visit. Will definitely use again to care for our furry little friend.

Laura took great care of our two cats while we were away on a week long trip! She is punctual and responsible. Her communication with us while we were away was assuring. We will definitely have her back for future trips!
