Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets I always approach it the same way: it is their home, and I am there to not only attend to their basic needs but also give them love and comfort. I love spending extra time to cuddle and play with animals I am watching, as I know I appreciate my cat sitters doing.

Information Laura R. would like to know about your pet

I always ask pet parents to let me know how best to approach their dog, especially when entering their home. My goal is to make the dogs comfortable with my presence and contribute to a low-stress outing. For cats I always ask if they like to be picked up or what areas they do/don’t like to be touched.

A typical day

For dogs I love to go on walks! There’s nothing better than being outside on a nice day. For cats it depends on the cat itself, but laser pointers and wand toys are always my go-tos!

Laura has taken care of my two kitties on multiple trips and she has been wonderful. My cats are well taken care of and you can tell that she takes such good care of them with the photos that she sends and how happy they are when she shows up. Thank you so much, Laura!
