Safety, trust & environment

Over the past 20 years, I have worked in client's homes as a pet sitter, nanny, eldercare caregiver, and mental health attendant. I am comfortable working with your rhythms, space, and routine. I am very mindful in my client's homes and always respect their environments ways that meet their individual standards.

Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, quirks, or triggers I should know about! And also, what your pet enjoys most! I love getting to know animals, their specific personalities, and developing unique bonds with them.

A typical day

I love to create energetic games that engage the animals I work with physically and mentally, suited specifically for your pet. If am watching your dog, we will walk, go to park, play catch, take smelling tours of the neighborhood! If I am spending time with your sweet kitty, we might play hunt, bat around toys, and of course, everyone will get lots of cuddles and pets!

Dedicated Care for Your Best Friend

Pet care experience

I love working as a caregiver for dogs, cats, and humans of all ages. I am an artist and educator who is relatively new to Providence, working part-time as Faculty at RISD, and would love to spend some time with your dear pet! I offer new clients a complimentary introductory meeting with you and your pet!

LA was very communicative, kind, and provided thoughtful care to my pet. She provided daily photos of V, offered to water plants, and even brought in a large package when my family and I were away. I felt I could trust her right away. Definitely recommend!

LA did such an amazing job with Fletcher. They were consistently communicative and responsive. They sent updates regularly throughout the day and took great care of Fletcher and my place. The fact that he warmed up to them so quickly speaks to how well LA cares for animals and builds trust. It is reassuring to know that my shy and sometimes skittish pup is in such great hands.

Laura helped care for our large dog when he had a full leg cast on, post-surgery. They were so patient and gentle with him! I'd trust them with my dog again with zero hesitation.

I can not recommend Laura enough to be a pet caregiver enough! Laura has been there so many times for me when I have need help caring for my dog Bubba. They once even got on a plane and flew across multiple states to help care for my dog after he had a leg injury and I could not miss a work trip. Laura is one of a kind. Laura is loving, patient, kind and loves time spent with animals. I think it makes Laura feel very grounded while being with animals. I would trust Laura in anyones house and with any pet. I envy the dogs that get to spend time on a walk with Laura.
